Budgeting for PACS

There are a number of models for the acquisition of digital image management systems. The specific details for development of a budget for a PACS/RIS acquisition will depend upon the acquisition model - although there are similarities in the overarching principles and general information, particularly concerning the radiology service requirements that will drive budget considerations.While budg...

Preference Elicitation For Participatory Budgeting

Participatory budgeting enables the allocation of public funds by collecting and aggregating individual preferences; it has already had a sizable real-world impact. But making the most of this new paradigm requires a rethinking of some of the basics of computational social choice, including the very way in which individuals express their preferences. We analytically compare four preference elic...

Cache Power Budgeting for Performance

Power is arguably the critical resource in computer system design today. In this work, we focus on maximizing performance of a chip multiprocessor (CMP) system, for a given power budget, by developing techniques to budget power between processor cores and caches. Dynamic cache configuration can reduce cache capacity and associativity, thereby freeing up chip power, but may increase the miss rat...

In the United States, this has manifested itself in moves toward “performance-based budgeting” in the national government as well as in state and local governments. Despite these efforts and numerous attempts to study these new reforms, a speci...
