Today, traditional mechanical and electrical systems are replaced with special ICT (Information and communication technology) based solutions and with the invention of new technologies; this trend is increasing further more. This special ICT-based domain is called Real-time systems and today's drive-by-wire, electronic stability programs in car, control software in vehicles are just a few examp...

Many of the application systems being designed today, variously known as marketing information, decision support, and management reporting systems, aim to exploit the strategic value of operational data of a commercial enterprise. These applications depart from the row-at-a-time update transaction model of the DebitCredit [1] and TPC benchmarks, and are almost wholly dependent for their perform...

As XML becomes the standard for electronic data interchange, benchmarks are needed to provide the comparative performance analysis of XML management systems (XMLMS). Typically a benchmark should adhere to four criteria: relevance, portability, scalability and simplicity [1]. The data structure of a benchmark for XML must be complex enough to capture the characteristics of XML data representatio...

We present the results of a benchmark study for a convection-driven magnetohydrodynamic dynamo problem in a rotating spherical shell. The solutions are stationary aside from azimuthal drift. One case of non-magnetic convection and two dynamos that differ in the assumptions concerning the inner core are studied. Six groups contributed numerical solutions which show good agreement. This provides ...

We study decision making in complex discrete-time dynamic environments where Bayesian optimization is intractable. A decision maker is equipped with a finite set of benchmark strategies. She aims to perform similarly to or better than each of these benchmarks. Furthermore, she cannot commit to any decision rule, hence she must satisfy this goal at all times and after every history. We find such...

The traditional performance measurement for computers on scienti c application has been the Linpack benchmark [2], which evaluates the e ciency with which a machine can solve a dense system of equations. Since this operation allows for considerable reuse of data, it is possible to show performance gures a sizeable percentage of peak performance, even for machines with a severe unbalance between...

The analysis of natural scenes is an important research area. Scene analysis research provides the foundation for the development of autonomous systems whose vision sensors provide important information about the surrounding environment. In this paper we introduce the MINERVA scene analysis benchmark to the vision community and provide preliminary results on this data. The scene analysis benchm...
