Arizona State Museum Archaeological Series No. 128
No full textThe Arizona State Museum Archaeological Site Survey System. Compiled by Lawrence E. Vogler. Contributions by Winifred and Harold S. Gladwin, Emil W. Haury, Anne Rieger, Alan Sullivan, Lynn S. Teague, R. Gwinn Vivian, Lawrence E. Vogler, William W. Wasley. Cultural Resource Management Section, Arizona State Museum, The University of Arizona. March 1980. Archaeological Series No. 128.The Arizona State Museum (ASM) has been actively engaged in archaeological survey in Arizona for more than 50 years. During this time the Museum successfully developed an integrated site survey system involving field reconnaissance, data recording and storage, and artifact curation. The system has changed over the years to allow for more complete data recording and to accommodate changing use patterns of the site file. For example, the system of manual management of site survey records is currently being supplemented by an automated system of data storage and retrieval. This report combines into one volume documentation for each of the three primary components of the ASM site survey system: field reconnaissance, records maintenance, and curatorial services. It represents the cumulative efforts on the part of a number of individuals who have worked at the Museum through the years. Part I provides a brief history of archaeological survey at the Museum, focusing on the changes that have occurred in the survey system in response to changing Museum and client needs, and a statement of Museum policy relative to use of the site survey file. Part II offers a detailed explanation of the method of site designation employed by the Museum. Part III includes a sample site survey form and instructions for completing the form. Part IV details the proper method of completing ASM site survey cards to allow for the incorporation of survey data into the permanent site survey file. Part V, the ASM SELGEM AZSITE computerization manual, gives data transcription procedures for entering survey data into a computerized site survey file. Part VI provides information on archaeological surveys carried out by the Arizona State Museum between 1895 and 1977. A chronological list of Museum surveys includes the year of the survey, reference to reported survey information, the geographic unit surveyed, and the names of the individuals who carried out the survey. Appendices include a statement by Haury on early goals of the Museum, reproduction of Medallion Papers No. 1, A Method for Designation of Ruins in the Southwest, by Winifred and Harold S. Gladwin, and information pertaining to the ASM site survey form.Abstract / Preface and Acknowledgments / List of Figures / List of Tables / Part I: Archaeological Survey at the Arizona State Museum -- Lawrence E.

Measuring the performance of asynchronous systems with PAFAS
No full textBased on PAFAS (Process Algebra for Faster Asynchronous Systems), a testing-based faster-than relation has been developed that compares asynchronous systems according to their worst-case efficiency. While the testing definition is qualitative, we point out that it can also be seen as considering quantitative performance measures. Then we adapt the PAFAS-approach to a setting, where user behaviour is known to belong to a very specific, but often occurring class of request-response behaviours, and show how to determine an asymptotic performance measure for finite-state processes. We discuss a number of examples showing the usefulness of this setting and demonstrating the effect of asynchronicity on the performance measure

Performance of pipelined asynchronous systems
No full textAbstractA testing-based faster-than relation has previously been developed that compares the worst-case efficiency of asynchronous systems. This approach reveals that pipelining does not improve efficiency in general; that it does so in practice depends on assumptions about the user behaviour. Accordingly, the approach was adapted to a setting where user behaviour is known to belong to a specific, but often occurring class of request–response behaviours; some quantitative results on the efficiency of the respective so-called response processes were given. In particular, it was shown that in the adapted setting a very simple case of a pipelined process with two stages is faster than a comparable atomic processing of the two stages.In this paper, we determine the performance of general pipelines, which is not so easy in an asynchronous setting. Pipelines are built with a chaining operator; we also study whether the adapted faster-than relation is compatible with chaining and two other parallel composition operators, and give results on the performance of the respective compositions. These studies also demonstrate how rich the request–respond setting is
