The objective of this journal is to compare the efficiency between these two algorithms, simple round robin and improved algorithms. In real time systems algorithm, plays a significant role be used in embedded systems. Here we average turn around waiting time, also number context switching Improved an algorithm where if remaining burst less than allocated quantum then running process executed. ...

This paper describes a general method for interactive segmentation, Smart Paint. The user interaction is inspired by the way an airbrush is used, objects are segmented by ”sweeping” with the mouse cursor in the image. The user adds or removes details in 3D by the proposed segmentation tool and the user interface shows the segmentation result in 2D slices through the object. We use the novel met...
