Background Diet quality indexes, including the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), assess diets based on usual dietary intakes and a scoring function. Nearly all diet quality indexes use scoring functions that have floors and ceilings, thereby truncating the scores and losing information about intakes outside the scoring range. This score truncation has tw...

Objectives Most, if not all, current diet scoring algorithms are not sensitive to the entire range of reported dietary intakes. That is, differences in intake do not always result in different scores. In some cases, the scoring function is binary: either a dietary intake met some criterion or it did not. Other scoring functions, such as the Healthy...

The Applications and Services in the Year 2021 workshop was successfully organized on January 27--28, 2016 in Washington DC through funding support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal of the workshop was to foster discussions that bring together applications researchers in multidisciplinary areas, and developers/operators of resear...

The recent trend toward application hosting in large data centers should and will be counterbalanced by a ubiquitous edge cloud with deeply programmable networking. The Internet to date has been dominated by sending data to programs and people; the next Internet will be dominated by managing data and the connections to people generating and needing...

Shared research infrastructure that is globally distributed and widely accessible has been a hallmark of the networking community. This paper presents an initial snapshot of a vision for a possible future of mid-scale distributed research infrastructure aimed at enabling new types of research and discoveries. The paper is written from the perspecti...

Background Dietary intake scoring functions, such as the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), are useful for quantifying a measure of overall diet quality and have been used to assess relationships between diet quality and other factors of interest, such as demographics, economics, and health‐related outcomes. Such scores are typically composed of multiple...

We describe the Ignite Distributed Collaborative Visualization System (IDCVS), a system which permits real-time interaction and visual collaboration around large data sets on thin devices for users distributed about the wide area. The IDCVS provides seamless interaction and immediate updates even under heavy load and when users are widely separated...

What will the next generation of the Internet do? How will it change healthcare, education, public safety, clean energy, transportation, and advanced manufacturing?

A Locavore Infrastructure is one which has all of its elements in high-bandwidth and low-latency proximity. It typically combines edge computing elements with an adjacent access network. The growing number of communicating devices and things creates a large and often steady demand for collecting and integrating local information in a Locavore Infra...

Methods, devices, signals, and systems are provided in a message routing architecture which provides improved capabilities for integrating “digital” communication through email messages with “analog” communication through voice and/or fax or pager messages. Email can be addressed using nothing more than a standard telephone or fax number. If the re...

Due to limitations of today's widely-deployed commercial networks, some end-user applications are only possible through, or greatly improved by execution on virtualized networks that have been enhanced or idealized in a way which specifically supports the application. This paper describes US Ignite and the advantages provided to US Ignite end-user...

We describe the GENI Experiment Engine, a Distributed-Platform-as-a-Service facility designed to be implemented on a distributed testbed or infrastructure. The GEE is intended to provide rapid and convenient access to a distributed infrastructure for simple, easy-to-configure experiments and applications. Specifically, the design goal of the GEE is...

US Ignite is catalyzing the development of 60 next-generation applications that take advantage of advanced network services such as ultra-fast broadband. This paper discusses relevant advanced network services and gives examples of new applications they make feasible.

Discusses the impact of the Internet, particularly on higher education. Highlights include a history of the development of the Internet; a leadership plan for higher education; authentication of personal identity; security; information quality; the concept of Internet time; and future possibilities.

The Internet is now on alert for possible attacks by computer crackers. These computer crackers try their might in order to gain financial advantage; that is, stealing from Internet users. In this article, basic prevention and prudent precautions are reviewed to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of network crackers. It also focuses on problems f...

Provides technical recommendations for wiring of college campuses to provide for current and future computer network needs, considering wiring in and between existing and new buildings. The effects of trends in networking costs are discussed. The importance of higher education's involvement and influence in various information technology issues is...

The virtual waiting time technique is introduced as a solution to the problem of a controller distributing work to servers of different speeds. The servers are considered to be part of a distributed system without feedback. The virtual waiting time technique is shown to minimize the average completion time for a job distributed by the controller. T...

Several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management functions. These services include buffer pool management; the file system; scheduling, process management, and interprocess communication; ...

An algorithm is proposed that creates mutual exclusion in a computer network whose nodes communicate only by messages and do not share memory. The algorithm sends only 2*(N-1) messages, where N is the number of nodes in the network per critical section invocation. This number of messages is at a minimum if parallel, distributed, symmetric control i...

The National Institutes of Health is developing a communications front-end for its DECsystem-10 timesharing facility. It is based upon a PDP-11 connected to the DECsystem-10 via a DL-10. PDP-11, and DECsystem software is discussed.

Bliss-11 is an implementation language for the PDP-11. It runs on the DECsystem-10 and provides optimized PDP-11 code. DEC will probably use BLISS-11 in future PDP-11 software projects.
