Title of dissertation: CROSS-LAYER CUSTOMIZATION FOR LOW POWER AND HIGH PERFORMANCE EMBEDDED MULTI-CORE PROCESSORS Chenjie Yu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Assistant Professor Peter Petrov Electrical and Computer Engineering Due to physical limitations and design difficulties, computer processor architecture has shifted to multi-core and even many-core based approaches i...

Web services have shown the potential to have a significant impact on the business, however, also shown problems like automatic service discovery or service interoperability issue. Because of today’s wide variety of services offered to perform a specific task, it is essential that users are guided in the eventual selection of appropriate services. In this paper we present an extensive study of ...

YZStack is our developing solution which implements many wellestablished big data techniques as selectable modules and allows users to customize their systems as a process of module selection. In particular, it includes an openstack based IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) layer, a distributed file system based DaaS (Data as a Service) layer, a PaaS (Platform as a Service) layer equipped with p...

The adoption of self-service technology (SST) has been well researched in consumer contexts but, despite the existing body work, few studies have investigated detail specific determinants for user satisfaction a corporate context. This study attempts to address this deficit. goal our work is examine employees’ perception SST. To do this, four dimensions SSTQUAL quality scale (namely (a) functio...

This paper proposes to incorporate product customization in the Maskin and Riley (1984) nonlinear pricing model in order to capture major features of mobile service data. In particular, consumers are characterized by a two-dimensional type. One dimension is observed by the provider and integrates product customization, while the other is a standard parameter of adverse selection, which is unobs...

Most management models that support software development, information technology (IT) service management, or other IT related tasks have been developed based on extensive experience with these tasks. Their recommendations are, therefore, often named base, good, or best practice. We examine in this paper whether these models are also suitable to support use and adaptation of open source software...

In requirements engineering, there are several approaches for requirements modeling such as goal-oriented, aspect-driven, and system requirements modeling. In practice, companies often customize a given approach to their specific needs. Thus, we seek a solution that allows customization in a systematic way. In this paper, we propose a metamodel for requirements models (called core metamodel) an...
