White Paper for Grapevine: An Exercise in Distributed Computing

White Paper about Grapevine: An Exercise in Distributed Computing

Grapevine is a multi-computer system on the Xerox research internet. It provides facilities for the delivery of digital messages such as computer mail; for naming people, machines, and services; for authenticating people and machines; and for locating services on the internet. This paper has two goals: to describe the system itself and to serve as a case study of a real application of distributed computing. Part I describes the set of services provided by Grapevine and how its data and function are divided among computers on the internet. Part II presents in more detail selected aspects of Grapevine that illustrate novel facilities or implementation techniques, or that provide insight into the structure of a distributed system. Part III summarizes the current state of the system and the lessons learned from it so far.

Case Study on Grapevine

Grapevine is a system that provides message delivery, resource location, authentication, and access controlser vices in a computer internet. The implementation of Grapevine is distributed and replicated.

The primary use of Grapevine is delivering computer mail, but Grapevine is used in many other ways as well. The Grapevine project was motivated by our desire to do research into the structure of distributed systems and to provide our community with better computer mail service. Keep reading..

A Study about the Effectiveness of Online Learning

Comparative research on learning outcomes in distance education versus face-to-face instructional settings has a long history, reaching back to the 1920s. The findings of hundreds, perhaps thousands of studies, over the decades and through the 1990s have been consistent -there are no significant differences in learning outcomes achieved by students engaged in faceto-face instruction compared to those participating in distance education. This holds true regardless of the technology medium used, the discipline, or the type of student. Beginning around 2000, several studies, including meta-studies.

Case Study on Effectiveness of Online Learning

A large k-125 of experimental and quasi-experimental studies met the established inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis (including data from over 20,000 participating students), and provided effect sizes, clearly demonstrating that in 70 percent of the cases, students taking courses by distance education outperformed their student counterparts in the traditionally instructed courses. By dividing the two-decade time span into four sub-studies, it was determined that the probability of DE [Distance Education] outperforming F2F [Face-to-Face] increased from 1991–2009 and authors predict that it will continue to increase in strength.
