In this paper we present several simple performance models for computationally intense remote procedure calls. Previous analyses of remote procedure call have dwelt largely on how to reduce call overhead for computationally trivial remote procedure call. Experimental determination the values of the parameters of the models are shown for a variety of network sizes. Conclusions are drawn for the ...

   Today, remote sensing technology is used in all scientific and informing fields around the world, and it has achieved to very satisfying results. In the present study, by using remote sensing technology and application of satellite photographs the coefficient of curve number was estimated with high accuracy and pick discharge of the flood was calculated with a good accuracy. In this study, i...

The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) provides an opportunity to improve the quality of patient life. The availability of sustainable telecardiology system in Malaysia is essential to overcome shortage of cardiology services in rural area. This paper elaborates the framework including requirements of telecardiology technology to meet the current condition of te...
