  Atlas (architecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlantes, the plural form of Atlas, is an architectural term for support columns sculpted in the form of a man. Another name for Telamon.
Atlantes originated in ancient Greece and the term is the Latin plural of the word Atlas - the Titan who was forced to hold the earth (or sky in some versions) on his shoulders for eternity.
When classical architecture was revived in the 19th century, many buildings included glorious atlantes that look much like the Greek ones.

 Architecture
Software architecture is a coherent set of abstract patterns guiding the design of each aspect of a larger software system.
Information architecture is the art and science of structuring knowledge (technically data) to be published in a web, and defining user interactions (also see use case).
Vehicle architecture is an automobile platform that is a shared set of components common to a number of different vehicles.

 Cover Pages: Architecture and Tools for Linguistic Analysis Systems (ATLAS)
ATLAS Level 0, also known as Annotation Graphs, provides a data model, interchange format, and application programming interfaces for working with linear signals (such as text and audio) indexed by intervals.
ATLAS Level 1 is a generalized model, suitable for annotating signals of essentially arbitrary dimensionality with annotations having essentially arbitrary structure.
ATLAS can thus be considered as a 'meta-annotation scheme' since its goal is to provide a way to describe any annotation that one might be interested in creating.

 ATLAS I Overview Transparencies (ICS-FORTH, ATM switch)
Architecture of ATLAS I: The ATM cells themselves are stored in the (single) shared cell buffer, and are never moved until they depart.
ATLAS I links can be bundled together, in groups of 2, behaving like a 1.24 Gb/s link, or in groups of 4, providing the equivalent of 2.5 Gb/s links, or in groups of 8, giving 5.0 Gbps/link.
The switch part of this architecture must solve a matching problem during each cell time: for each input buffer, choose one of the cell colors present in it, so that no two input buffers have the same color chosen, and so that the number of colors chosen is maximized (or other performance criteria, e.g.

 Atlas 6 | Olivier Laude | Chinese Rural Architecture
The richly diverse vernacular architectural traditions of China are unrivaled in the world.
China, a nation of 56 nationalities living in disparate natural landscapes with widely varying climatic conditions, is certainly more varied in its housing patterns than is the case in single nations such as the United States or even in comparison with multi-national Europe.
China's folk architectural forms, even as they portray common elements, clearly reveal the broad range of solutions that humans are capable of in providing basic shelter and creating homes for their families.

Whereas the user’s view describes the Atlas functionality, this section explains the experience of developing that functionality and corresponding serving architecture, the new technology used, and some of the implementation details that set Atlas apart from similar web-based applications.
Atlas is composed of a sizeable code base, and as such requires special care in the design stage in order for it to remain understandable and modifiable.
Although the Atlas project is still young and has not been tested with a significant user base, it shows promise as both a novel paradigm for course serving and as an inexpensive, high-performance web serving architecture.

ATLAS was originally based on the LDC research on Annotation Graphs (also known as ATLAS Level 0).
Annotation Graphs and ATLAS differ in their philosophy in that Annotation Graphs are optimized for simple annotations of audio signals while ATLAS focuses on genericness and extensibility and is not constrained to a given class of signals.

 Supporting the Web: A Distributed Hyperlink Database System
In an ideal publishing situation, the authoring tools used to create content for the repository are an integral part of the architecture, where the meta-information for the newly formed content is automatically extracted and stored, hyperlinks are extracted and stored, and the integrity of the content, meta-information and hyperlinks is verified [Pitkow and Jones 1995].
