Multi-tasking Machine Realizing High Productive and Accurate Machining

Scaling J2EETM application servers with the Multi-tasking Virtual Machine

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is established as the standard platform for hosting enterprise applications written in the Java programming language. Similar to an operating system, a J2EE server can host multiple applications, but this is rarely seen in practice due to limitations on scalability, weak inter-application isolation and inadequate resource management facilities in t...

Machine scheduling for multitask machining

Multitasking is an important part of today’s manufacturing plants. Multitask machine tools are capable of processing multiple operations at the same time by applying a different set of part and tool holding devices. Mill-turns are multitask machines with the ability to perform a variety of operations with considerable accuracy and agility. One critical factor in simultaneous machining is to cre...

Who Multi-Tasks and Why? Multi-Tasking Ability, Perceived Multi-Tasking Ability, Impulsivity, and Sensation Seeking

The present study examined the relationship between personality and individual differences in multi-tasking ability. Participants enrolled at the University of Utah completed measures of multi-tasking activity, perceived multi-tasking ability, impulsivity, and sensation seeking. In addition, they performed the Operation Span in order to assess their executive control and actual multi-tasking ab...

Multi-tasking for TinyOS

Tasks in TinyOS execute non-preemptively and run to completion, forcing programmers to keep individual tasks short and spread lengthy operations across multiple tasks – a major divergence from conventional programming paradigms. This report documents our attempt to incorporate multi-tasking into TinyOS and its subsequent effect on power consumption of “motes”. We succeeded in modifying the Tiny...
