Safety and security are closely related subtypes of defensibility, another quality factor in a quality model. The close similarity between these two quality factors implies that a taxonomy of safety-related requirements is a good place to begin when developing an analogous taxonomy of security-related requirements. The resulting taxonomy consists of pure security requirements specifying minimum...

In distributed high-performance computing environments, resource reservation mechanism is an effective approach to provide desirable quality of service for large-scale applications. However, conventional reservation service might result in lower resource utilization and higher rejection rate if it is excessively applied. Furthermore, redundant reservation policy has been widely applied in many ...

UNLABELLED The objective is to find a practical balance between quality and performance for daily high volume whole slide imaging. We evaluated whole slide images created by various scanners at different compression factors to determine the best suitable quality factor (QF) needed for pathological images of special stains. METHOD We scanned two sets of eight special stains slides each at 0.50...
