When conversation is better than computation.
While largely ignored in informatics thinking, the clinical communication space accounts for the major part of the information flow in health care. Growing evidence indicates that errors in communication give rise to substantial clinical morbidity and mortality. This paper explores the implications of acknowledging the primacy of the communication space in informatics and explores some solution...
متن کاملWhen poll is better than interrupt
In a traditional block I/O path, the operating system completes virtually all I/Os asynchronously via interrupts. However, performing storage I/O with ultra-low latency devices using next-generation non-volatile memory, it can be shown that polling for the completion – hence wasting clock cycles during the I/O – delivers higher performance than traditional interrupt-driven I/O. This paper thus ...
متن کاملWhen Virtual is Better than Real
This position paper argues that the operating system and applications currently running on a real machine should relocate into a virtual machine. This structure enables services to be added below the operating system and to do so without trusting or modifying the operating system or applications. To demonstrate the usefulness of this structure , we describe three services that take advantage of...

متن کاملWhen is social computation better than the sum of its parts?
Social computation, whether in the form of searches performed by swarms of agents or collective predictions of markets, often supplies remarkably good solutions to complex problems. In many examples, individuals trying to solve a problem locally can aggregate their information and work together to arrive at a superior global solution. This suggests that there may be general principles of inform...
