Abstract Complex real-time systems, must integrate physical processes with digital control, human operation and organizational structures. New scientific foundations are required ...
We consider experiments to measure the quality of a web search algorithm based on how much total time users take to complete assigned search tasks using that algorithm. We first ...
Advances in scheduling theory have given designers of control systems greater flexibility over their choice of timing requirements. This could lead to systems becoming more respon...
The diversity of computers and networks within a distributed system makes these systems highly heterogeneous. System heterogeneity complicates the design of static applications tha...
—The need for integration of all types of client and server applications that were not initially designed to interoperate is gaining popularity. One of the reasons for this popul...
