Differential game model of limited resource extraction with dynamic updating is studied in the paper. The class of games with dynamic updating is new in the theory of differential games. Cooperative setting of limited resource extraction with ...

Consumers increasingly make informed buying decisions based on reading online reviews for products and services. Due to the large volume of available online reviews, consumers hardly have the time and patience to read them all. This article aims to ...

Ticket queues are prevalent in service industries. They enhance customer satisfaction by eliminating physical lines but may compromise efficiency. Existing studies offer mixed results on the cause and magnitude of such inefficiency. These results, however,...

The development of a dynamic software updating system for statically-typed object-oriented programming languages has turned out to be a challenging task. Despite the fact that the present state of the art in dynamic updating systems, like JRebel, ...

Dynamic updating is a software technique that updates running program without interruption and can help to decrease the downtime of a system. As a new and important computing paradigm, pervasive computing brings new challenges to the design and ...

Module systems have been acknowledged as software development and maintenance boosters. Likewise, dynamic updating, meaning the ability to evolve a software system at runtime, not only has the potential to increase developer productivity, but also to ...

The number of application domains in which systems must deliver continuous reliable service during update is growing as well as the application of aspect-oriented paradigm in such systems. In this paper we address the problem of updating running aspect-...

Dynamic component updating, which allows a running system to be updated without interrupting its execution, has been recognized as an important requirement for distributed systems. However, most of existing approaches complicate the component ...

The recently reported ν* planning algorithm is modified to handle on-the-fly dynamic updates to the obstacle map. The modified algorithm called All-Pair-Dynamic-Planning(APDP), models the problem of robot path planning in the framework of finite state ...

To cope with demands for new and extended functionality, software systems must be updated regularly. This usually requires providing some new codes, merging these codes into the archaic program, and restarting the updated application. This process ...

An ASM-based high level semantical model for service-oriented systems based on OSGi and supporting service dynamic updating is provided in this paper. The model not only provides the refinement methods but also gives the final model that specifies the ...

Although the Eclipse IDE offers an extremely useful built-in support for developing Eclipse plug-ins, it lacks the ability to perform dynamic updates of plug-ins in a running instance of the application being developed. Because of the nature of the ...

It has been evidenced that DNA computing can solve those problems which are currently intractable on the even fastest electronic computers. The algorithm design for DNA computing, however, is not straightforward: A strong background in both DNA molecule ...

This paper presents a technique for transistor-level timing simulation of MOS circuits driving RC interconnect loads. The RC interconnect is represented as a reduced-order model (e.g. /spl pi/-model). An effective capacitance is analytically derived ...

Large-scale distributed systems are not always stable because the environments and the user requirements are changeable. The author has discussed the receptive platform to make distributed systems flexible and reliable. In order to achieve the receptive ...

Several dynamic software-based updating systems that are in the research and production stages are described. In particular, the procedure-oriented dynamic updating system (PODUS) is discussed. In PODUS, a program is updated by loading the new version ...
