Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976

Adaptive Synchronisation: Optimising the Locality of Collective Communications in an Adaptive Setting

by Paul Roe - In to appear in: Sixth Australasian Conference on Parallel and RealTime Systems (PART'99 , 1999
"... . Gardens is a system which supports adaptive parallel computation across networks of workstations. This is achieved by over decomposing a program into more tasks than there are processors. Tasks are migrated to realise adaptation to changing workstation loads e.g. the coming and going of intera ..."

QOS WITH RELIABILITY AND SCALABILITY IN ADAPTIVE SERVICE-BASED SYSTEMS

by V. Rhymend, Uthariaraj P. Mercy, Florence A. Geetha
"... Service-based systems that are dynamically composed at runtime to provide complex, adaptive functionality are currently one of the main development paradigms in software engineering. However, the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered by these systems remains an important concern, and needs to be manage ..."

Playout scheduling and lossconcealments in VoIP for optimizing conversational voice communication quality

by Batu Sat - In Proc. ACM Multimedia , 2007
"... In this paper, we present new adaptive playout scheduling (POS) and loss-concealment (LC) schemes for delivering high and consistent conversational voice communication quality (CVCQ) perceived by users in real-time VoIP systems. We first characterize the delay and loss conditions of an IP network an ..."

MULTISCALE INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION: INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE THUN CASTLE

by Giovanna A. Massaria
"... The applications of informatics to architecture have become, for professionals, a great tool for managing analytical phases and project activities but also, for the general public, new ways of communication that may relate directly present, past and future facts.

Despite being a core networking primitive, collection protocols today often suffer from poor reliability (e.g., 70%) in practice, and heavily used protocols have never been evaluated in terms of communication efficiency. Using detailed experimental studies, we describe three challenges that cause ex ..."
