Formal semantics. This task is responsible for defining the formal semantics of the SELFMAN computational model. In our experience, it is essential to have a simple formal semantics when developing new abstractions (such as a computation model and architectural framework). This guarantees that there is no unexpected bad behavior. Two of the important questions that this workpackage will provide answers to are concurrency and communication. How will concurrency be managed between components: when should components be sequential and when should they be concurrent? How does this fit with the concurrency abilities of the underlying implementation platform? I.e., J2EE is built using Java and supports only coarse-grain concurrency (few threads). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ supports fine-grain concurrency (thousands of threads). For communication, we will determine to what degree the communication will be synchronous or asynchronous, and tightly coupled or loosely coupled. For example, we may use a tuple space abstraction, which allows components to communicate in a very loose fashion, where the source and destination components do not even know the identity of the other component. The main objective of this workpackage is to design and build a storage service on top of the service architecture of WP2 and the structured overlay network of WP1. The storage service will do replication (implemented over the structured overlay network), provide a transactional interface, and provide a simple database interface. The storage service will build on previous work by project partners: 1. The ZIBDMS database management system that is being developed by ZIB. 2. The experience in designing transaction protocols over structured overlay networks of KTH and UCL [MESA05]. The simple database interface is not intended to be a competitor to commercial databases (that would be impossible in a project of the size of SELFMAN) but to provide a proof-of-concept of a distributed database built on top of a structured overlay network. Such a distributed database does not yet exist and will be one of the contributions of SELFMAN. The storage service will support its own self management (node failure/removal/addition) using the primitives of WP2 and WP4. The storage service will enable the applications of WP5. Note that the storage service is an example of a realistic self-managing service built on top of the service architecture defined by WP1 and WP2. As such, the storage service will serve to validate this architecture even be...

  • Orthodontics We Cover orthodontics used to help restore oral structures to health and function and to treat serious medical conditions such as: cleft palate and cleft lip; maxillary/mandibular micrognathia (underdeveloped upper or lower jaw); extreme mandibular prognathism; severe asymmetry (craniofacial anomalies); ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint; and other significant skeletal dysplasias.

  • COVID-19 Employees of Contractor and/or persons working on its behalf, including, but not limited to, subcontractors (collectively, “Contractor Personnel”), while performing services under this Agreement and prior to interacting in person with City employees, contractors, volunteers, or members of the public (collectively, “In-Person Services”) must be fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”). “Fully vaccinated” means that 14 or more days have passed since Contractor Personnel have received the final dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) or a single dose of a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) and all booster doses recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prior to assigning Contractor Personnel to perform In-Person Services, Contractor shall obtain proof that such Contractor Personnel have been fully vaccinated. Contractor shall retain such proof for the document retention period set forth in this Agreement. Contractor shall grant medical or religious exemptions (“Exemptions”) to Contractor Personnel as required by law. If Contractor wishes to assign Contractor Personnel with Exemptions to perform In- Person Services, Contractor shall require such Contractor Personnel to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, with the full cost of testing to be borne by Contractor. If Contractor Personnel test positive, they shall not be assigned to perform In-Person Services or, to the extent they have already been performing In-Person Services, shall be immediately removed from those assignments. Furthermore, Contractor shall immediately notify City if Contractor Personnel performing In-Person Services (1) have tested positive for or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, (2) have been informed by a medical professional that they are likely to have COVID-19, or (3) meet the criteria for isolation under applicable government orders.

  • Apprenticeship Program The parties agree to meet to discuss the development of mutually agreeable apprenticeship programs. The specific provisions of the apprenticeship programs shall be subject to agreement between the City, the Civil Service Commission (where appropriate), and the Union. Each apprenticeship program, however, shall contain at least the following terms:
