A MIDDLE-WARE LEVEL CLIENT CACHE FOR A HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING I/O SIMULATOR

This thesis describes the design and run time analysis of the system level middle-ware cache for Hecios. Hecios is a high performance cluster I/O simulator. With Hecios, we provide a simulation environment that accurately captures the performance characteristics of all the components in a clusterwide parallel file system. Hecios was specifically modeled after PVFS2. It was designed to be extensible and to easily allow for various component modules to be easily replaced by those that model other system types. Built around the OMNeT++ simulation package, Hecios\u27 inner-cluster communication module is easily adaptable to any TCP/IP based protocol and all standard network interface cards, switches, hubs, and routers. We will examine the system cache component and describe a methodology for implementing other coherence and replacement techniques within Hecios. Similar to other cache simulation tools, we allow the size of the system cache to be varied independently of the replacement policy and caching technique used

Commercial arbitration and the right to a fair trial: the relation that never worked out

Commercial Arbitration continues to be the most preferable dispute resolution mechanism for business owners and companies. That does not mean, however, that the mechanism is free of defects, as while the legislatures and scholars were working on enhancing the mechanism, they disregarded the basic principles of the rule of law. This thesis points to emphasize the imbalance between the advantages of the arbitration mechanism and the respect of the principles of law. It typifies the effects of this imbalance on the mechanism as a whole. It also suggests some solutions that do not diminish the advantages of the mechanism, but enhance congruence between the mechanism and the legal principles. The thesis, by focusing on a new problem that began to appear, aims to encourage legislatures and scholars to reconsider their liberal approaches with regard to arbitration rules amendments
