Croatia is characterised by a foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, mainly in the service sector, which partly understandable owing to country's orientation towards tourism. On other hand, theoretical and empirical research indicates weak impact of FDI sector on economic growth recipient country. Following framework critical analysis previous research, paper, example period q1/2000 - q3/2020,...

Recently the ATM Forum defined the Guaranteed Frame Rate service category to provide a minimum service guarantee to classical best-effort services. The eligibility of frames for this service category is determined with the Frame Based Generic Cell Rate Algorithm and the transmission is guaranteed by a queuing-discipline based on two thresholds. In this paper we present a discrete-time analysis ...

certain advantages of service-oriented architecture have led to the spread of this type of architecture around the world. however, some special features of this type of architecture have led to more compromise between the security in the information system and other information systems. the purpose of this paper is to identify and examine the impact of factors and dimensions of the information ...

background: in-service training courses are one of the most available programs that are used to improve the quantity and quality level of the staff services in various organizations, including libraries and information centers. with the advent of new technologies in the field of education, the problems and shortcomings of traditional in-service training courses were replaced with virtual ones. ...

Ž . The Available Bit Rate ABR service has been developed to support data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Ž . Mode ATM . The ABR service uses a closed-loop rate-based traffic management framework where the network divides left-over bandwidth among contending sources. The ATM Forum traffic management group also incorporated open-loop control capabilities to make the ABR service robust to...

Rate-Function Scheduling (RFS) is a new deadline-based packet-scheduling service discipline that supports qualityof service guarantees for applications with real-time communication requirements. RFS is distinguished from other service disciplines in that it achieves all of the following goals: analytically-derived perjormance bounds, perjormance isolation among sessions, jlexible and eficient a...

In this paper, we consider a two-phase queueing system with impatient customers and multiple vacations. Customers arrive at the system according to a Poisson process. They receive the first essential service as well as a second optional service. Arriving customers may balk with a certain probability and may depart after joining the queue without getting service due to impatience. Lack of servic...

The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support 21st century data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ABR service uses a closed-loop rate-based traac management framework where the network divides left-over bandwidth among contending sources. The ATM Forum traac management group also incorporated open-loop control capabilities to make the ABR service robus...

Traditionally, research focusing on the design of routing and staffing policies for service systems has modeled servers as having fixed (possibly heterogeneous) service rates. However, service systems are generally staffed by people. Furthermore, people respond to workload incentives; that is, how hard a person works can depend both on how much work there is, and how the work is divided between...
