Quantifying Nutritional Trade-Offs across Multidimensional Performance Landscapes

Trade-Offs in the Performance of Workflows - Quantifying the Impact of Best Practices

Business process redesign is one of the most powerful ways to boost business performance and to improve customer satisfaction [14]. A possible approach to business process redesign is using redesign best practices. A previous study identified a set of 29 different redesign best practices [18]. However, little is known about the exact impact of these redesign best practices on workflow performan...

Performance Trade-offs of Tcp Adaptation Methods

Power/Performance Trade-offs for Direct Networks

High performance portable and space-borne systems continue to demand increasing computation speeds while concurrently attempting to satisfy size, weight, and power constraints. As multiprocessor systems become necessary to satisfy the computational requirements, interconnection network design will become subject to similar constraints. This paper focuses on the design of multiprocessor intercon...

Functional complexity can mitigate performance trade-offs.

Trade-offs are believed to impose major constraints on adaptive evolution, and they arise when modification of a trait improves one aspect of performance but incurs a cost in another. Here we show that performance costs that result from competing demands on one trait can be mitigated by compensatory changes in other traits, so long as performance has a complex basis. Numerical simulations indic...

Ecosystem service trade-offs across global contexts and scales

Meeting human needs while sustaining the planet’s life support systems is the fundamental challenge of our time. What role sustenance of biodiversity and contrasting ecosystem services should play in achieving a sustainable future varies along philosophical, cultural, institutional, societal, and governmental divisions. Contrasting biophysical constraints and perspectives on human well-being ar...
