Arch Filament System. In solar-terrestrial terms, a bright, compact plage crossed by a system of small, arched filaments, which is often a sign of rapid or continued growth in an Active Region.
A data storage system available through ITS (Information Technology).
Andrew File System. A type of file system which is not dependent on any one computer to hold its files. With AFS, a user can login to any computer within the AFS environment and access his/her files, regardless of which computer actually stores the files. AFS is therefore a distributed file system.
A distributed file system that provides authentication services as part of its file system creation.
is the file sever system (stands for Andrew File Sever) used at MSU to store and serve user documents. Everyone at MSU has 4 mb. Of space on the server. You can use the space to store documents of any kind and access the space through campus labs (using the "Chooser" on macs and the "U:" drive on PCs). You can also access the space through remote FTP. AFS is a great system that turns every campus computer into your personal computer (since you can save and access your files from any computer) and allows you to serve web documents is your place them in the "Web" directory (folder) on your AFS space. The important thing to remember is that once you have accessed your AFS space, it works the same as a hard disk drive on your computer.
The Association of Former Students. This organization helps support Texas A&M University by maintaining contact with former students. For this email project, CIS will be working closely with AFS to maintain email addresses and directory services entries for students as they leave the university.
An AFS (Andrew file system) is a location independent file system that uses a local cache to reduce the workload and increase the performance of a distributed computing environment. A first request for data to a server from a workstation is satisfied by the server and placed in a local cache. A second request for the same data is satisfied from the local cache.
Andrew File System. A network-based file system developed by the Carnegie-Mellon University and IBM in collaboration. It differs essentially from the NFS in that the authentication is based on Kerberos and the file library can be fitted with access lists so as to the access rights could be controlled in a more precise way.
Andrew File System. One of several Network file systems. This one was developed at Carnegie Mellon University
APEC Food System The APEC Food System (AFS) was established in February 1999 as a ad hoc task force. It is a joint and cross-cutting action being implemented by all APEC Member Economies and APEC fora to achieve three food related goals - the development of rural infrastructure, the promotion of trade in food products, and the dissemination of technological advances in food production and processing. These goals are all aimed at improving the efficiency of food production and trade for the benefit of APEC Member Economies.
Andrew File System. Named after Andrew Carnegie, the Andrew File System was developed at Carnegie Mellon University as a document sharing business solution in partnership with IBM. For more information; http://www.transarc.com/Product/EFS/PDF/afsbroch.pdf
The Andrew File System is a distributed network file system that enables file sharing from any machine running the AFS deamon (an open source version for your own machine can be had from here) and having the proper credentials. Most notably, your home directory at CERN is mounted on AFS, and your lxplus account is typically your so-called AFS principal. You can use As with any network file system, AFS suffers from delays as files are checked for updates and, especially for Atlas software, when caches overflow. See Also Distribution Kit, kerberos.
Acronym for "Andrew File System", it is the location where many ASU web pages are stored. ASURITE user directories are also located within AFS. Technically speaking, AFS is a network filesystem which ASU servers such as general.asu.edu are "connected" to.
a type of shared file space which works best for UNIX systems also known as H: and I: drives, Courseware, NDAccess
Andrew File System. Named after Andrew Carnagie by its inventors at Carnegie-Mellon University, AFS is a distributed file system available for UNIX and other operating systems.
Available for Sale. Accounting classification under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. AFS securities are those which management does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified AFS must be recorded at fair market value each period, with unrealized gains or losses recorded as a contra asset. AFS securities may be sold freely to generate liquidity or to rebalance the investment portfolio.
Andrew File System. A distributed file system created in the Carnegie Mellon University Andrew Project, and later, a software product of Transarc Corporation, IBM, and OpenAFS. AFS distributes, stores, and joins files on networked computers. This distributed file system software makes it possible for users to access information located on any computer in a network.
A distributed file system that allows users on different machines to access the same files. AFS allows files to be shared not only on different machines at the same site, but also at different sites across the country. At CTC, all researchers' home directories are in AFS, and all of CTC's SP nodes and RS/6000s have access to this file system. The AFS acronym stands for Andrew File System, a project of Carnegie-Mellon University, but the version installed at CTC is a commercial product from a company called Transarc.
A distributed file system that uses Kerberos V4 authentication and includes authentication services that can be used by an SP system.
