Problem statement: Identifying critical tasks in a project network is easily done when task times are deterministic, but doing so under stochastic task times is problematic. The few methods that have been proposed contain serious drawbacks which lead to identifying critical tasks incorrectly, leaving project managers without the means to (1) identify and rank the most probable sources of projec...

Real-time systems are characterized by several nonfunctional properties which are used to describe the temporal behaviour. Traditional schedulability analysis allows to determine whether the timing requirements are going to be met or not. On the other hand sensitivity analysis is also capable to measure the admissible variation to the non-functional properties. This is extremely important in pr...

Prior research has shown that flexibility within mental budgets allows consumers to make exceptions to budget rules in order to justify indulgent choices. However, other research has suggested that too stringent of mental budgets can lead to self-control failure through self-control depletion and the “what-the-hell” effect. We propose that including slack, defined as a region of constrained fle...

This paper develops a slack-based decomposition of profit efficiency based on a directional distance function.

This research is quantitative with simple regression analysis and moderate analysis. The objectives of this study: firstly, to analyze the effect budgetary participation in budget slack, secondly, organizational commitment on thirdly, slack information asymmetry as a moderating variable, fourthly, relationship between slack. sample study was 47 respondents Tidore Islands city government. Based ...

The increasing power consumption of today’s system-onchip (SoC) outpaces the trend of increasing battery capacity. The applications offered to customers grow tremendously too, a trend that is accelerating in the future. This yields stronger requirements for lower power consumption. During design, a system is dimensioned to worst-case workload requirements. Most of the time, workload is far belo...

This paper choose Chinese high-tech listed companies as the samples to testify the slack resources’ moderating role between intellectual capital and corporate value. The results based on hierarchical moderating regression (HMR) show that intellectual capital of high-tech listed companies not only has a significant influence on corporate value creation, but also has a significant impact on the p...

Real-time applications are ubiquitous in generalpurpose computing environments, while the real-time systems are growing in complexity. Thus in these hybrid real-time systems, schedulers must guarantee that all hard real-time jobs be completed before their deadlines and improve QoS of soft real-time tasks as much as possible. Towards this goal we have proposed a new slack reclaiming algorithm fo...

a r t i c l e i n f o The first decade of the twenty-first century has witnessed a significant increase in technology strategy research related to innovation capacity and technological diversity. Recent studies in the field of innovation capacity investigate whether the underlying performance differential among firms is attributable to organizational slack resources. However, few scholars have ...
