Software distributed shared memory (SDSM) systems traditionally exhibit poor performance on applications with significant fine-grain or false sharing. Techniques such as relaxedconsistency models and multiple -writers protocols improve the performance of SDSM systems significantly, but their performance still lags that of hardware shared memory implementations. This paper describes Delphi, a sy...

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are posited as a tool for improving practice, policy and research in primary healthcare. This paper describes the Deliver Primary Healthcare Information (DELPHI) Project at the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Western Ontario, focusing on its development, current status and research potential in order to share experiences with researchers in s...

Nursing requires computer competencies. This study aimed at identifying those competencies required for the nursing profession in Taiwan. The Delphi technique was deployed in this study. In the Delphi questionnaires, computer competencies were sorted into seven domains: concepts of hardware, software, and networks; principles of computer applications; skills of computer usage; program design; l...

Software has a far ranging nature and sometimes it is difficult to predict the cost. So, it was demanded to develop some useful models that predict the accurate cost, schedule and quality of a software product. There is a great need to accurately predict the cost by selecting the appropriate estimation method. Expert Based Judgment is quite successful. Wideband Delphi estimation comes under thi...

The very first time that anyone is taught how to program, it is generally a difficult concept to come to grips with. With the advent of more advanced programming environments, such as Windows and eventdriven programming, the amount of overhead required to do even the more simple of tasks has become large. When teaching the first year programming course at UPE, it was decided to teach them using...

The characteristics of the smart city industry and its effects on the national economy of Korea are investigated using input-output analysis. The definition and industrial classification of a smart city are established using the Delphi technique for experts in various fields, from information and communication technologies (ICT) to governmental policies for urban matters. The results of the ana...
