Much interest has recently been given to making dialogue systems more natural by implementing more flexible software solutions, such as parallel and incremental processing. In the How-Was-Your-Day prototype, parallel processing paths provide complementary information and the parallel processing loops enable the system to respond to user activity in a more flexible manner than traditional pipeli...

Background and Aim: One of the complex processes in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in Iran is the process of registering pharmaceutical supplies. Currently the registration process is a multi-stage process, resulting in parallel services, a waste of time and unnecessary expenses. Therefore, an integrated system will improve the relevant service delivery. The purpose of this study ...

This paper proposes a system for the background image generation by cooperative parallel processing under the severe outdoor environmental conditions, which are ever changing in nature. Software of this system is composed of four individual modules. Each module function by exchanging the information which is resulted from the processing in other modules. Each module is implemented on the hardwa...

in this paper, we study different methods of solving joint redundancy-availability optimization for series-parallel systems with multi-state components. we analyzed various effective factors on system availability in order to determine the optimum number and version of components in each sub-system and consider the effects of improving failure rates of each component in each sub-system and impr...

Several research effort has been devoted to increase the performance of the relational database systems. Various types of database machines were so far proposed. Among them, shared nothing parallel database system such as Teradata, GAMMA, TANDEM are actually implemented and detail performance evaluation is undergoing. On the other hand, recently massively parallel processor like the Connection ...

Several studies on photovoltaic systems focused on how it operates and energy required in operating it. Little attention is paid on its configurations, modeling of mean time to system failure, availability, cost benefit and comparisons of parallel and series–parallel designs. In this research work, four system configurations were studied. Configuration I consists of two sub-components arranged ...
