System Support For Energy Efficient Mobile Computing
… High performance devices require more power support, while the battery capacity only increases 5% per year on average. Researchers are working on kinds of energy saving approaches. For examples, hardware components provide different power state to save idle power; operating systems provide …

Operating system support for warehouse-scale computing
… increasingly backed by large-scale data centres. Systems software in these data centre environments, however, faces substantial challenges: the lack of uniform resource abstractions makes sharing and resource management inefficient, infrastructure software lacks end-to-end access control …

System support for design and development environments
Most, if not all, currently popular operating systems are designed to be general purpose environments for the development, maintenance, documentation and execution of systems of all types. Thus, the designers of the operating system must try to make the system a compromise between efficiency and …

System Support for End-to-End Performance Management
… the novel concept of "Service Paths", which are system-level abstractions that capture and describe the dynamic dependencies between the different components of a distributed enterprise application. Service paths are dynamic because they capture the natural interactions between application …

Network and system support for interactive embedded applications
… technologies have enabled wireless embedded systems to become both smaller and more capable. This has led to a massive expansion in their use and many novel applications are emerging. Many new applications require direct user interaction and in this way they differ from embedded applications …

Q-Fabric: System Support for Continuous Online Quality Management
The explosive growth in networked systems and applications and the increase in device capabilities (as evidenced by the availability of inexpensive multimedia devices) enable novel complex distributed applications, including video conferencing, on-demand computing services, and virtual …

System support for robust data collection in wireless sensing systems
<p>This dissertation studied how to provide system support for robust data collection in wireless sensing systems through addressing a few urgent design issues in the existing systems. A wireless sensing system may suffer issues arising at the sensors, during the data transmission, and during the …

Legal system support of crime survivors and attitudes on justice
… legal processes and services. Recent literature supports the efficacy of restorative justice programs that started in response to retributive justice and its inability to directly address survivor harm. Thus, the current study examined how crime survivors perceive legal system support and …

Abstracting the hardware/software boundary through a standard system support layer and architecture
… boundary due to relegating hardware and software systems as separate and inconsistent computational models. Alternatively, the work presented in this thesis proposes using parallel programming models to abstract the CPU/FPGA boundary. Computational tasks would exist either as traditional CPU bound …

Considerations for the design and implementation of a management support system for the Electronic Warfare System Support Laboratory
… a review of current literature on management support system development, some current management philosophy, and an organizational analysis of the Electronic Warfare System Support Laboratory located at the Pacific Missile Test Center Pt. Mugu, CA. Using the knowledge gained on management …

An evaluation of the prime vendor support approach to U.S. Army weapon system sustainment
… has launched several initiatives to contain support costs for weapon systems. Recently a new weapon system sustainment concept advanced by industry, known as Prime Vendor Support (PVS), has been either under consideration or already adopted as a means of reducing support costs. PVS requires …

A Study of Disk Performance Optimization.
… measures associated with a typical multi-user system. Response time, in turn, is bounded by the performance of the input/output (I/O) subsystem. Other than the end user and some external peripherals, the slowest component of the I/O subsystem is the disk drive.</p> <p>One standard strategy for …

The ACCESS Framework: reinforcement learning for accessibility and cognitive support for older adults
… needs – that they often do not know what support is available within their systems, that they often do not know how to change those settings they know exist, that they often lack the confidence to make the changes they know how to make, and are often unable to physically enable …

Low-Latency Hard Real-Time Communication over Switched Ethernet
… even though Switched Ethernet does not support policing in the switches as other network architectures do. This thesis presents the application of traffic shaping to Switched Ethernet and validates the hypothesis. It shows, both theoretically and practically, how commodity Switched …

An Environment for Imprecise Computations
… with the problem of providing operating system support to flexible real-time applications with end-to-end deadlines and of integrating checkpointing and rollback recovery with flexible applications as a means to increase the availability and dependability of real-time systems. This thesis …

The Examination of Attendance Support Teams in Urban Middle Schools
… was conducted to analyze effect of an attendance support team in urban middle schools. The study utilized a six-month time window using students in three middle schools that accumulated five unexcused absences. The attendance support team was comprised of a school social worker, a family resource …

Memory-mapped transactions
… a prototype for an efficient and portable system supporting memory-mapped transactions. LIBXAC is a C library that supports atomic transactions on memory-mapped files. LIBXAC guarantees that transactions are serializable, and it uses a multiversion concurrency control algorithm to ensure …
