The notion of a compensation is widely used in advanced transaction models as means of recovery from a failure. Similar concepts are adopted for providing “transaction-like” behavior for long business processes supported by workflows technology. Generally, designing a compensating task in the context of a workflow process is a non-trivial job. In fact, not every task is compensatable. This work...

this work supports the effectiveness of the employment of communication strategies for bet-ter and more efficient communication. communication strategies varies as a function of dif-ferent factors such as personality traits, pedagogical setting, l2 context, etc. the present re-search aimed at delving into the relationship between shyness, task nature and the frequency and type of communication ...

Framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported L2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of Iranian EFL learners. The goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the Input Hypothesis (Krashen, 1985) and the Output ...

In this paper, we review the literature on efficient task scheduling on multi-core system. The number of cores on one chip are increasing very rapidly. For achieving high performance without more power consumption and without heating up the system, multi-core processing technology is used. In addition for fully utilization of system resources in more efficient way task scheduler are developed, ...
