Maria Isabel Beltran, A Safe Communication Model for Optical Buses, Department of Computer Science, The University of Texas at El Paso, December 2003. Advisor: Brian J. d'Auriol
This thesis introduces the {\em safe communication model} in order to realize these improvements. A three layer approach is defined to develop the safe communication model. The lowest layer abstracts the architecture and base functionality of the optical bus while the middle layer abstracts the fundamental aspects of optical bus communication. Finally, the upper layer provides for safe bus communication. A theorem presents the necessary conditions that ensure safeness on the bus. A simulation used to obtain run data for preliminary analysis of safeness trends is presented. In addition, some outstanding technical issues are clarified. Lastly, an extensive bibliography is given. |
