PLÉIADES: RESPONSIVENESS, FLEXIBILITY, REACTIVITY

Designing for Latency: In Search of the Balance Between System Flexibility and Responsiveness

This paper outlines experiences with latency and responsiveness in a distributed application. We analyze latency from the perspectives of the user and the system. From these experiences and analyses, we suggest questions and highlight tradeoffs that pertain to both HCI and systems in the realm of ubiquitous computing.

The pursuit of responsiveness in production environments: From flexibility to reconfigurability ¬リニ

Many production plants are pursuing responsiveness (i.e., timely purposeful change guided by external demands) as one of their main performance priorities and are looking for ways for their responsiveness to be improved. One of the ways that they are currently trying to do this is through the flexibility provided by production practices. On the other hand, other systems are also being now devel...

Automatic sensor orientation refinement of Pléiades stereo images

Modern Earth observation satellites are calibrated in such a way that a point on the ground can be located with an error of just a few pixels in the image domain. For many applications this error can be ignored, but this is not the case for stereo reconstruction, that requires sub-pixel accuracy. In this article we propose a method to correct this error. The method works by estimating local cor...

Supply Chain Reactivity Assessment Regarding Two Negotiated Commitments: Frozen Horizon and Flexibility Rate

The problem addressed in this paper is the supply chain reactivity assessment through numerical experimentations regarding specifically two negotiated commitments within supply contract: the frozen horizon and flexibility rate. Analysis of impact of these commitments on each partner will be depicted in term of storage costs, reliability and reactivity indicators. The decision making inside each...
