In this work, design of an Android-based augmented reality application is presented and particularly its performance is analyzed in terms of resource usage in comparison to similar applications. The application displays merchant, branch information of one of the Turkish banks, as well as related sales campaigns of the merchants on the screen that are within the proximity of the user’s location....

This paper examines the properties of two Internet pricing systems – a flat rate and a usage-based pricing system – in terms of the social welfare, by generalizing the theory advocated by the scholars. This study contributes not only to the systematic generalization of the theory but also to the examination of the waste of resource innate in the flat rate tariff. We found that the superiority b...

The ability to estimate resource consumption of SQL queries is crucial for a number of tasks in a database system such as admission control, query scheduling and costing during query optimization. Recent work has explored the use of statistical techniques for resource estimation in place of the manually constructed cost models used in query optimization. Such techniques, which require as traini...

One of the hard problems in maintaining real-time systems requirements is to keep track of the impact of resource usage on the applications. Often times, it is not sufficient to keep track of upper bounds since some requirements such as jitter are also sensitive to the lower bounds and the resource scheduling algorithm employed. In the case of non-preemptive scheduling, real-time requirements c...

The functional layer is the pillar of the whole prognostics and health management system. Its effectiveness is the core of system task effectives. In this paper, we proposed a new bicluster mining algorithm: DoCluster, to effectively mine all biclusters with maximal variant usage rate and low usage rate in the discrete function-resource matrix. In order to improve the mining efficiency, DoClust...

Web applications can leak confidential user information due to the presence of unintended side-channel vulnerabilities in code. One particularly subtle class of side-channel vulnerabilities arises due to resource usage imbalances along different execution paths of a program. Such side-channel vulnerabilities are especially severe if the resource usage imbalance is asymptotic. This paper formali...

When developing a multi-agent architecture for controlling a single robot, as the one described here, agents share resources and a coordination mechanism is required to solve possible resource usage conflicts. Moreover, some the resources involved in a robot act in the physical world, and the agent exchange on the resource usage can cause some disruptions on the physical robot behavior. So, in ...
