Using Host Integration Server Printer Definition Files (PDFs) and Printer Definition Table (PDT) Files
[ Source: Microsoft ]
January 2008-
A PDF (Printer Definition File) is an editable ASCII file that contains macro definitions, session parameters, formatting controls and character definitions. This file is customized to provide function support. A PDT (Printer Definition Table) file is the compiled version of a PDF. A PDF/PDT file does not format the data stream sent by the host application. Based on what is defined in the PDF/PDT file, control codes in the data stream can be restored with ....

Virtualization is making a tremendous impact in the IT community around the world and across enterprises, agencies and institutions. The results of virtualization demonstrate clear benefits and tangible value to managers and decision-makers at every level of the IT organization. Virtualization technology changes the game by transforming a traditional IT environment into a virtualized IT environment, or virtual infrastructure. Virtual infrastructures provide great flexibility and open up new ways of thinking about the IT environment. ....
Distributed Clustering in Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks: A Hybrid, Energy-Efficient Approach
[ Source: Purdue University ]
January 2008-
This paper presents an energy-efficient distributed clustering approach for ad-hoc sensor networks. The approach is hybrid: cluster heads are randomly selected based on their residual energy, and nodes join clusters such that communication cost is minimized. Based on this approach, the paper introduces the HEED protocol, which terminates in a constant number of iterations, independent of the network diameter. HEED operates in quasi-stationary networks where nodes are location-unaware and have equal significance.

June 2009-
As data centers transition to next generation virtualized & elastic cloud architectures, high performance and resilient cloud networking has become a requirement for delivering always-on, always-available applications.
Over the last decade response time requirements have been rigorously tightened, toward fractions of a second, and both network and compute latencies need to be reduced in parallel. An architectural approach is needed so that response times are consistently and measurably enhanced across a wide set of ....
