A core idea of cloud computing is elasticity, i.e., enabling applications to adapt to varying load by dynamically acquiring and releasing cloud resources. One concrete realization is cloud bursting, which is the migration of applications or parts of applications running in a private cloud to a public cloud to cover load spikes. Actually building a ...
Evaluating Inter-Organizational Relationships (IORs) is important in today’s businesses for increasing competitiveness and business potential. Typically, IORs are measured by high-level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as trust, knowledge sharing, and others. However, these high-level KPIs are difficult to be measured quantitatively. It is therefore difficult to determine IORs and their outcomes since the evaluation ...
Most processors are used in embedded systems, where the processor architectures are diverse due to optimizations for different application domains. The main challenge for embedded system processors is the right balance between performance and chip size, which directly relates to cost. An early estimation of the performance for a new design is of paramount importance. ...
