Workarounds are deviations from defined routines in business processes and challenge standardization and thus the performance improvements expected from information systems. Researchers study the phenomena of workarounds across different domains and industries with varying conclusions. Literature associates workarounds predominantly with performance losses, facades of compliance, or inferior pr...

We introduce a new theoretical model of ad hoc mobile computing in which agents have severely restricted memory, highly unpredictable movement and no initial knowledge of the system. Each agent’s memory can store O(1) bits, plus a unique identifier, and O(1) other agents’ identifiers. Inputs are distributed across n agents, and all agents must converge to the correct output value. We give a uni...

We present a scheme to guarantee that the execution of real-time tasks can tolerate transient and intermittent faults assuming any queue-based scheduling technique. The scheme is based on reserving su cient slack in a schedule such that a task can be re-executed before its deadline without compromising guarantees given to other tasks. Only enough slack is reserved in the schedule to guarantee f...

Dual Rail Precharge (DRP) circuits, which are theoretically secure against differential power analysis attacks, suffer from an implementation problem: balancing routing capacitance of differential signals. To solve this, four proposals have been put forward: DWDDL [18], FatWire [19], Backend Duplication [4] and Three Phase Dual Rail [2]. Of these, three of them (DWDDL, FatWire, Backend Duplicat...
