Operating System designers currently face two major challenges. One is the coexistence of time-sharing and dynamic real-time components on a single machine and even in the same application. The other is that many acceleration techniques (e.g. caches) used in modern hardware architectures work very well for the average case, but not for the worst case which counts for real-time systems. This sce...

Océano is management software for a eUtility infrastructure capable of providing cost-effective, autonomic resource allocation for multiple customer or application domains, in response to existent performance and availability conditions. The Control Layer of Océano provides mechanisms to manage resources. This layer consists of a resource director and a set of resource managers. The resource di...

based on the research findings, managers use of informal learning practices in order to develop competencies and improve their performance. however, these concerns have not been studied so far in the iranian business environment. the aim of this study is to identify informal learning methods of human resource managers. after a three-stage coding have been identified seven categories and twenty-...

The latest generation of UNIX includes facilities for automatically managing system resources such as processors, disks, and memory. Traditional UNIX time-share schedulers attempt to be fair to all users by employing a round-robin policy for allocating CPU time. Unfortunately, a loophole exists whereby the scheduler can be biased in favor of a greedy user running many short CPU-demand processes...

Multiprocessor systems should exist in the the larger context of distributed systems, allowing multiprocessor resources to be shared by those that need them. Unfortunately, typical multiprocessor resource management techniques do not scale to large networks. The Prospero Resource Manager (PRM) is a scalable resource allocation system that supports the allocation of processing resources in large...

Applications of LiDAR remote sensing are exploding, while moving from the research to the operational realm. Increasingly, natural resource managers are recognizing the tremendous utility of LiDAR-derived information to make improved decisions. This review provides a cross-section of studies, many recent, that demonstrate the relevance of LiDAR across a suite of terrestrial natural resource dis...
