The distribution of age-of-information performance measures for message processing systems

The idea behind the recently introduced “age-of-information” performance measure of a network message processing system is that it indicates our knowledge regarding the “freshness” of the most recent piece of information that can be used as a criterion for real-time control. In this foundational paper, we examine two such measures, one that has been extensively studied in the recent literature and a new one that could be more relevant from the point of view of the processor. Considering these measures as stochastic processes in a stationary environment (defined by the arrival processes, message processing times and admission controls in bufferless systems), we characterize their distributions using the Palm inversion formula. Under renewal assumptions, we derive explicit solutions for their Laplace transforms and show some interesting decomposition properties. Previous work has mostly focused on computation of expectations in very particular cases. We argue that using bufferless or very small buffer systems is best and support this by simulation. We also pose some open problems including assessment of enqueueing policies that may be better in cases where one wishes to minimize more general functionals of the age-of-information measures.

A typology of beliefs and misperceptions about the influenza disease and vaccine among older adults in Singapore.

Access to the influenza vaccine pose little barriers in developed countries such as Singapore and vaccination against influenza is highly recommended for at-risk populations including older adults. However, vaccination rates are much lower than recommended despite the significant morbidity and mortality associated with the disease among this vulnerable population. Given timely goals to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake, we explored Singaporean older adults’ misperceptions about influenza disease and vaccine. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted among 76 Singaporean adults aged 65 and above with no focus on a specific area in Singapore. Data were analyzed with grounded theory methods to understand participants’ attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge. We developed in vivo codes that reflect the verbiage used by participants and exhaustively catalogued themes through a constant comparison coding method. Focusing specifically on older adults’ misperceptions, seven main themes about influenza disease or vaccine emerged from our data analysis: familiarity with influenza, misperceptions about influenza, personal susceptibility to influenza, familiarity with the influenza vaccine, misperceptions about the influenza vaccine, misperceptions about influenza vaccine usage, and opinions about and barriers to influenza vaccine uptake. Notably, there is a lack of adequate knowledge and motivation in vaccinating against influenza among older adults in Singapore. Health communication needs to be more tailored toward older adults’ message processing systems and engage health professionals’ involvement in addressing the influenza disease and vaccine misperceptions identified in this study.

Automatic message compression with overload protection

In this paper, we show that it is possible to increase the message throughput of a large-scale industrial system by selectively compress messages. The demand for new high-performance message processing systems conflicts with the cost effectiveness of legacy systems. The result is often a mixed environment with several concurrent system generations. Such a mixed environment does not allow a complete replacement of the communication backbone to provide the increased messaging performance. Thus, performance-enhancing software solutions are highly attractive. Our contribution is (1) an online compression mechanism that automatically selects the most appropriate compression algorithm to minimize the message round trip time; (2) a compression overload mechanism that ensures ample resources for other processes sharing the same CPU. We have integrated 11 well-known compression algorithms/configurations and tested them with production node traffic. In our target system, automatic message compression results is a 9.6% reduction of message round trip time. The selection procedure is fully automatic and does not require any manual intervention. The automatic behavior makes it particularly suitable for large systems where it is difficult to predict future system behavior.

Text Message Collection and Processing System (TMCPS) to Facilitate Doctor and Patients

The purpose of this research is to develop a tool that is easy to manage by a doctor. Patient will be able to input his/ her details of disease as text message and get prescription or a token (date + number) depending on the symptoms of disease. Sometimes a patient cannot give extra details about his/ her symptoms on the spot, don't want to move physically for taking the number and time for checkup or the doctor becomes tired of listening to the patients. Moreover, there are doctors whose listening power are weak and cannot listen well. The text message collection centre will be a best solution to the above mentioned problems. The server will generate a report containing bar chart of patient's text messages sent to doctor(s) and a table containing patient id, patient name, patient mobile number, patient address, patient text message, doctor's code, and doctor's name. The text messages sent by different patients via Short Message Service (SMS) will be collected by a server. The server will accept only those text messages which contain valid doctor's code of a registered patient. We focused too much on software components and development rather than hardware components.

Research and Design on Universal Framework for Integration CAD / CAE System

This paper, which studied the structure of CAD/ CAE system, has proposed a universal CAD / CAE integration framework. This system, with good compatibility and being convenient to be used, can be the basic platform for all CAD / CAE systems. This framework, with a unified structure of command processor, the message processing system, selection mechanism, can transform the development of CAD / CAE integrated system to that of functional command module. With the help of this framework, functional development no longer relies on framework. Therefore, the framework greatly enhances the efficiency of software system development.

To overcome the standard mobile web services implementation, a SOAP message processing system (SMSP) was proposed in which the SOAP request and response messages are directly processed without using Servlet engine. Our system can completely support standard Web Services protocol, reducing communication overhead, message processing time, and server overload.

Analysis of Human Factors Case Studies of Complex Military Systems: Here's How We Can do Better

People in nearly every occupational setting can provide examples of poor system design. The focus for this paper is on an analysis of design problems found in complex military command and control systems and the ways in which these types of problems can be avoided in future system design. The source of data for this analysis was a group of case studies of sixteen U.S. military systems written by officer-students at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA. Systems analyzed include aircraft systems, communications systems, the M-16 rifle, a missile defense system, a message processing system, weapon systems, and decision support systems. Documented problems with system use were categorized according to the following measures of effectiveness: Performance, Safety, Usability, Reliability, Maintainability, Time and Cost to Train, and Workload. The number of problems encountered per system ranged from one to nine; the mean number of reported problems per system was 4.9. IEEE 1220-1998 includes a revised systems engineering approach with an increased emphasis on engineering the system for the human. Adhering to a user-centered design approach would have a positive impact on system design by significantly reducing the types of system problems described in this paper.

Distributed fax message processing system

In this paper, a distributed fax message processing system named AutoFax is described. The AutoFax system provides capabilities for recognizing, storing and managing fax messages automatically in a distributed environment. Fax message images are interpreted and routed to the appropriate receiver's mailbox. In addition, the contents of each fax message are recognized and stored according to their logical and layout formats in order to reduce the amount of storage required. The proposed system is based on a client–server architecture. The server is responsible for recognizing and storing of fax messages. The client provides an interface for the user to compose, manage and send fax messages.
