	UMUC-Verizon Virtual Resource Site -- Module 1: Description of Asynchronous Communication
		Asynchronous communication is communication taking place at different times or over a certain period of time.
		Asynchronous communication is currently perhaps the most popular technology being used in online learning, and there are numerous packages and tools available.
		Faculty wishing to use asynchronous communication in courses should check what their own institutions offer and what training is provided to operate them.

	Asynchronous communications system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In telecommunication, an asynchronous communications system (start-stop system) is a data communications system that uses asynchronous operation.
		In an asynchronous communications system, extra signal elements are usually appended to the data for the purpose of synchronizing individual data characters or blocks.
		The time spacing between successive data characters or blocks may be of arbitrary duration.

	Asynchronous Logic: Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Asynchronous design does not follow this methodology; in general there is no clock to govern the timing of state changes.
		This is a straightforward process compared with validating an asynchronous circuit, where the design must be examined in very fine detail for critical races and unstable states, and then the higher levels checked for liveness and similar properties.
		Asynchronous logic can be expected to begin winning niches in the digital electronics business within the next few years.

	Troika Networks - Application Primer: Continuous Asynchronous Replication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Asynchronous replication provides the ability to migrate data between heterogeneous storage platforms, provides disaster recovery over any distance between any hosts and storage, allows for non-disruptive backup, and non-disruptive snapshot.
		Asynchronous Replication works by taking a copy of every transaction on a SAN and replicating that to a remote site, on a continuous, rolling log.
		Asynchronous replication also has the advantage of enabling near-line disk backup, with the ability to create persistent and frequent snapshots of data for tape archiving.

	Professional ASP.NET Web Services : Asynchronous Programming
		Whether or not to implement asynchronous processing is one of the fundamental issues that a developer must answer when invoking function calls across process boundaries.
		Given that the option to invoke an asynchronous call is available, the programmer has to weigh the relative ease of coding synchronous calls with its inherent drawback - when a synchronous call is made, the calling thread is blocked and has to wait until the function completes.
		The case for asynchronous processing becomes very compelling in the enterprise computing space where systems need to handle hundreds of thousands of function call requests and synchronicity may become a barrier to scalability.

	ALTMODES-Alternative Modes of Delivery: Asynchronous Learning
		Asynchronous learning simply refers to the provision of learning opportunities and support that can take place or be accessed at any time, ie.
		Through asynchronous learning (AL) technology faculty can supplement classroom teaching with additional information about the course such as lecture notes, links to related Internet sites, multi-media applications of audio and video, homework problems and solutions, on-line reference materials, on-line quizzes, immediate grading and feedback, as well as being more available to students electronically.
		The advantages of asynchronous delivery include student choice of location and time, and (in the case of telecommunications such as email) interaction opportunities for all students.

	EETimes.com - Does asynchronous logic design really have a future? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is not the case of a true asynchronous logic, and in this discussion we will focus on the true handshake-based asynchronous logic style, where there is no clock, and in which logic domains create request and acknowledgment or completion signals as evaluation progresses, in the absence of a clock.
		In an asynchronous design there is no such clock and the logic must be debugged at full speed--to identify a failing logic path, you have to be a very good detective, basing your judgment mostly on circumstantial evidence.
		Asynchronous aficionados are quick to point out that GALS (globally asynchronous, locally synchronous) is the way to go.

	Asynchronous Portlet Processing
		When all threads in the pool have been assigned, incoming asynchronous render requests are delegated to the main request thread, as described in The main request thread.
		In addition, asynchronous render requests may be delegated to the main request thread if no threads are available in the portlet thread pool, as described in About asynchronous processing.
		Determines whether asynchronous portlets are delegated to the main request thread to render content if there are not enough individual threads available in the thread pool.

	Asynchronous Learning(i.e. Location Independent Learning) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Asynchronous learning is the idea that students learn the same material at different times and locations.
		Asynchronous Learning is also called Location Independent Learning, and is opposite to synchronous learning where students learn at the same time by activities such as attending a lecture or laboratory.
		Asynchronous learning involves the ability to maintain communication without having to meet at the same place at the same time.

	[No title]
		Asynchronous control differs from synchronous control principally in that the asynchronous control circuitry, taken as a whole, is responsible for setting the timing of everything else on the chip.
		Second, and more relevant to the asynchronous design, is that even when the pipeline stalled while waiting for (say) and ALU result, it did not stall for very long, because the result could quickly flow past the memory stage.
		Asynchronous control circuitry must be designed to handle a variety of contingencies regarding timing, and the testing harness must be able to cause at least most of these possibilities.

	Micro White Paper: Asynchronous Learning
		This traditional asynchronicity, the expectation that students will on their own time work through course material, has allowed, but not fostered multiple orientations or paths to learning.
		This traditional asynchronicity and the expectation, that students will learn in setting of their own choice, has allowed limited geographic dispersion of learners due to the ties of the lecture hall.
		The elements of asynchronous learning are not aimed at separating students from instructional aid or from each other, in face quite the opposite is true.

		Asynchronous programs are often the hardest to design and develop.
		Asynchronous network and background operations tend to be challenging to implement on the Macintosh.
		It implements the generic algorithm "wait for time out; start asynchronous operation; wait for asynchronous operation to complete; do something with the results; start over." The algorithm is implemented as a state machine, driven by TPeriodic, but with details supplied by TPeriodic's subclasses.

	Pragma Asynchronous
		A remote call is asynchronous if it is a call to a procedure, or a call through a value of an access-to-procedure type, to which a pragma Asynchronous applies.
		In addition, if a pragma Asynchronous applies to a remote access-to-class-wide type, then a dispatching call on a procedure with a controlling operand designated by a value of the type is asynchronous if the formal parameters of the procedure are all of mode in.
		Asynchronous remote procedure calls shall be implemented such that the corresponding body executes at most once as a result of the call.

	Configuring Modem Support and Asynchronous Devices
		Asynchronous ports can be on the outside of your access server (for example, the Cisco AS2511-RJ) or on the inside of your device (for example, the Cisco AS5200).
		Generally, commands entered in asynchronous interface mode enable you to configure protocol-specific parameters for asynchronous interfaces, whereas commands entered in line configuration mode permit you to configure the physical aspects for the same port.
		To configure a group asynchronous interface, specify the group async number (an arbitrary number) and the group range (beginning and ending asynchronous interface number).

	Article: Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication Tools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Asynchronous tools are useful for sustaining dialogue and collaboration over a period of time and providing people with resources and information that are instantly accessible, day or night.
		In addition, asynchronous tools are helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed.
		The primary drawback of asynchronous technologies is that they require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate) and they may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies.

	Asynchronous Http Handlers
		Asynchronous Http handlers work similarly to regular http handlers, except that they are capable of serving many client requests with very few actual threads.
		In fact, depending on how religiously the handler-code uses asynchronous methods in its implementation, it is possible to peg the CPU(s) in a system using only a handful of threads while serving many times as many clients.
		In addition to using asynchronous Begin() and End() methods exclusively for all of your "blocking" IO calls, your asynchronous handler must also implement asynchronous BeginProcessRequest() and EndProcessRequest() methods that are called asynchronously by ASP.Net itself.

	Embedded.com - Will Self-timed Asynchronous Logic Rescue CPU Design?
		With regards shifting to asynchronous design, the electronics and computer industry reminds me of the automobile industry as cars got bigger and faster, but also consumed more fuel and generated more pollution.
		Asynchronous circuit designs were common in the early days of circuit design and can still be found here and there, not as an all-encompassing design methodology, but as a problem solver, after every synchronous design trick has run out of gas.
		Several years ago, a research team at the University of Manchester in the UK was able to build a fully asynchronous ARM processor with the performance equivalent of a traditionally designed CPU, and at much lower power.

	Asynchronous Services Overview in Inter Process Communciation
		Asynchronous services are used throughout Symbian OS, most commonly as encapsulated in the client/server architecture.
		When a function call to an asynchronous service provider returns, it means only that the request has been despatched.
		A thread which uses asynchronous services must have a main loop that waits on the thread’s request semaphore for any outstanding requests to complete.

	Asynchronous I/O and large file support in Solaris - SunWorld - July 1998
		Asynchronous I/O interfaces have been available in Solaris for some time, providing a means by which applications could issue I/O requests and not have to "block" or cease working until the I/O was completed.
		The goal was to provide relational database vendors a facility for asynchronous (async) I/O on raw devices that weren't limited to 2 gigabytes in size.
		Asynchronous I/O is implemented using the lwp (light-weight process) system calls, which are the lower level implementation of the user-level threads library.

	Performing Asynchronous Management Operations
		Asynchronous mode enables an application to continue with other processing without waiting for a function to return, but does not enable the result to be used immediately.
		In the call to an asynchronous function, you can optionally specify a callback function to be run when the asynchronous operation finishes.
		Therefore, to process a response to an asynchronous operation, an application must be able to interrupt whatever function is being performed and process the response when it is received.

	What are "Synchronous" and "Asynchronous" Training?
		Asynchronous, which means "not at the same time," allows the student to complete the WBT on his own time and schedule, without live interaction with the instructor.
		There is complete flexibility with asynchronous training, which comes in two forms, facilitated and self-paced.
		Facilitated asynchronous training is common in the academic community, but the most common form of WBT used in corporations is self-paced instruction.

		The letter and the postal system, the fax machine, the humble home answering machine, and the fancy corporate voice mail system are all more up-to-date devices for asynchronous communication and so-more significantly in this context-are the network's e-mail and bulletin board systems.
		In the asynchronous mode, words are not heard as they are spoken, but are repeated at some later point.
		As much more efficient asynchronous communications systems have become commonplace, though, we have seen that strict synchrony is not always desirable; controlled asynchrony may have its advantages.

	Beating the Clock
		Such asynchronous circuits offer high speed because they are composed of few transistors which coordinate the actions of adjacent building blocks.
		Synchronous circuits keep jogging in place." Asynchronous circuits achieve speed by allowing each gate to set its own pace rather than waiting for the next tick of a system clock, whose pace is set by the slowest part of the chip.
