Systems should be self-predicting. They should continuously monitor themselves and provide quantitative answers to What...if questions about hypothetical workload or resource changes. Self-prediction would significantly simplify administrators’ decision making, such as acquisition planning and performance tuning, by reducing the detailed workload and internal system knowledge required. This pap...

background: the employees of welfare centers, due to the special conditions of their work, may be exposed to excessive occupational stress and workload . thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of workload and occupational stress on the general health of female employees of public welfare centers.   materials and methods: this was a correlational research on 63 female employees ...

Previous research has suggested that personality traits of the Five Factor Model play a role in worker's response to workload. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of personality traits of first responders with their perceived workload in real-life tasks. A flying column of 269 police officers completed a measure of subjective workload (NASA-Task Load Index) after interventi...

There has been increasing demand for energy sustainable and lowcost operation in cloud computing. This paper proposes dynamic Geographical Load Balancing and energy buffering management (GLB) to achieve these goals which (i) shifts workload (particularly peak workload demand) toward Data centers that offer low utility rate or green energy at a time, and (ii) banks excess green and low-cost ener...

Predicting high pilot mental workload is important to the United States Air Force because lives and aircraft have been lost due to errors made during periods of ;ight associated with mental overload and task saturation. Current research e0orts use psychophysiological measures such as electroencephalography (EEG), cardiac, ocular, and respiration measures in an attempt to identify and predict me...

purpose: this article presents the results of study aimed at devising comprehensive, standard and objective criteria for measuring faculty members' workload. material & method: the indicators for measuring faculty members' workload were collected through a comprehensive review of the literature, a survey of the available documents and methods for measuring workload in the country, and faculty m...

The popularity of the World-Wide-Web has increased dramatically in the past few years. Web proxy servers have an important role in reducing server loads, network traffic, and client request latencies. This paper presents a detailed workload characterization study of a busy Web proxy server. The study aims in identifying the major characteristics which will improve modelling of Web proxy accessi...

Constructing an effective Query Routing Tree is the premise for continuous queries in a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The query routing tree structures can provide sensors with a path to the querying nodes. At present, the data acquisition systems for WSN construct the routing structures in an ad-hoc manner, therefore, there is no guarantee that a given query workload will be distributed equa...
