are the result of analysis and isolation of a customer’s actual performance problem. These tools can be, and currently are, used to compare different system implementations from different vendors. In several cases, the benchmarks have uncovered previously unknown bugs and design flaws. The results have shown a

and identification technology. A general MPC control algorithm is presented, and approaches taken by each vendor for the different aspects of the calculation are described. Identification technology is reviewed to determine similarities and differences between the various approaches. MPC applications performed

. This growth of Cloud computing service consumers may influence the future data centers and operational models. The issue of inter-cloud operability due to different Cloud computing vendors Reference Architecture (RA) needs to be addressed to allow consumers to use services from any vendor. In this paper we

Data warehousing and on-line analytical processing (OLAP) are essential elements of decision support, which has increasingly become a focus of the database industry. Many commercial products and services are now available, and all of the principal database management system vendors now have

to cues associated with food or drugs. However, we have noticed variation in the incidence of these two phenotypes in rats obtained from different vendors. In this study, we quantified sign-and goal-tracking behavior in a reasonably large sample of SD rats obtained from two vendors (Harlan or Charles

different (perhaps competing) vendors, usually without source code available. Typical solutions-provider employees are not always skilled or experienced enough to debug these systems efficiently. Our goal is to design tools that enable modestly-skilled programmers (and experts, too) to isolate performance

Shoppers who use the Internet can often find multiple vendors of a single, physically identical product. These vendors may offer very different prices for these identical products. However, different vendors may or may not be certified or rated by third parties, be familiar to the shopper due

Why We are here "Increasingly in business, there is a need to schedule meetings with people (within or outside of the company) using different calendaring systems without multiple interactions and iterations, which prove to be time consuming and inefficient. What is needed is a simple

ABSTRACT: Trust is a vital relationship concept that needs clarification because researchers across disciplines have defined it in so many different ways. A typology of trust types would make it easier to compare and communicate results, and would be especially valuable if the types of trust
