Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3 (1994)
Conference Proceeding
Kerridge, J., & Nixon, P. (1994). Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3. In M. Jane, D. Marini, & A. De Gloria (Eds.), Transputer Applications and Systems '94: Proceedings of the 1994 World Transputer Congress, Cernobbio, Italy, Sept. 5-7, 1994

In many application environments there is a need to able to allocate resources dynamically. The occam programming language has no concept of such dynamic allocation. This paper shows how dynamic allocation can be incorporated into occam without sacri... Read More about Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3.

A strategy for semantic integrity enforcement in a parallel database machine (1994)
Conference Proceeding
McCarroll, N., & Kerridge, J. (1994). A strategy for semantic integrity enforcement in a parallel database machine. In Directions in Databases: 12th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 12 Guildford, United Kingdom, July 6–8, 1994 Proceedings (137-152). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-58235-5_40

Semantic integrity constraints represent knowledge about data with which a relational database must be consistent. To enforce semantic integrity we must ensure that transactions which alter the database will preserve database consistency by accompany...
