this paper aims to investigate the effect of firm reporting quality, timeliness andquantity for disclosure and reliability of financial reports on the reaction of stockprice delay. statistical population includes 111 active firms in tehran stock exchangeduring 2010-2014 using cochrane method with the confidence level of95%. totally, they were 555 firms-years. in this paper, linear and nonlinear...

Correctness of a real-time system depends on its computation as well as its timeliness. In recent years, research has been focusing on verifying the correctness of a real-time system during runtime by monitoring its runtime execution and checking it against its formal specifications. Such verification method is called Runtime Verification. While a few existing runtime verification tools verify ...

In order to guarantee transaction timeliness, Realtime Database Management Systems (RTDBMSs) often relax data consistency by relaxing the ACID transaction properties. Such relaxation varies depending on the application and thus different transaction management mechanisms have to be decided for developing a tailored RTDBMS. However, current RTDBMSs development does not include systematic verific...

We consider asynchronous message-passing systems in which some links are timely and processes may crash. Each run defines a timeliness graph among correct processes: (p, q) is an edge of the timeliness graph if the link from p to q is timely (that is, there is a bound on communication delays from p to q). The main goal of this paper is to approximate this timeliness graph by graphs having some ...

A problem when testing timeliness of event-triggered real-time systems is that response times depend on the execution order of concurrent tasks. Conventional testing methods ignore task interleaving and timing and thus do not help determine which execution orders need to be exercised to gain confidence in temporal correctness. This thesis presents and evaluates a framework for testing of timeli...

Dynamic sources, which make regularly updated data available for use by other applications, are increasingly a key enabling feature of the web. They are extensively used in all sorts of social media applications where they are re-combined in multiple ways to generate new aggregate services. Public situated displays are an emergent area where dynamic sources can also play a key role in providing...

BACKGROUND Immunisation coverage in New Zealand is lower than what is necessary to prevent large epidemics of pertussis. Primary care is where most immunisation delivery occurs. General practices vary in their structure and organisation, both in a general sense and specifically with respect to immunisation delivery. AIM To identify the structural and organisational characteristics of general ...
