There can be little doubt that, in practice, the genre is pretty well defined, con…Read more

    Evaluating the potential for using affect-inspired techniques to manage real-time systems
    with W. Scott Neal Reilly, Gerald Fry, Sean Guarino, Michael Reposa, Richard West, and Ralph Costantini

    We describe a novel affect-inspired mechanism to improve the performance of computational systems operating in dynamic environments. In particular, we designed a mechanism that is based on aspects of the fear response in humans to dynamically reallocate operating system-level central processing unit (CPU) resources to processes as they are needed to deal with time-critical events. We evaluated this system in the MINIX® and Linux® operating systems and in three different testing environments (two…Read more
