¿Es necesario seguir un ritual? explorando los usos sociales de los medios de comunicación by Bent Steeg Larsen, Thomas Tufte

“…And there is much evidence that some kinds of media use actually liave the fonn and the functions of rituals. Most notably, perhaps, are the so called media events (royal weddings, Olympic Games, state funerals etc.) that can be seen as occasional ritual celebrations of society, constructed and transmitted by electronic media. …”

On the performance optimization for the cloud architecture with sleep-mode and registration service by Shunfu JIN, Haixing WU, Tiantian HUO, Wenjuan ZHAO

“…In order to balance the energy conservation and the service quality for anonymous users,a novel sleep-mode based architecture with the free cloud service and the registration cloud service was proposed.Regarding the free cloud service as the first service,the registration cloud service as the second service and the sleep sate as the vacation,a partial asynchronous multiple vacation queueing model with a second optional service was built.Applying the method of a matrix-geometric solution,the steady-state distribution of the queueing model was derived,and then the energy saving rate of system as well as the average response time of anonymous users were estimated.By considering the benefits from accessing the cloud service and the time cost on waiting for the cloud service,benefit functions were constructed.Numerical results were carried out to reveal the relationship between Nash equilibrium arrival rate and social optimal arrival rate of anonymous users.The proposed cloud architecture provides a theoretical basis for social optimization.…”
