When an executable file is loaded into memory, it is called a process. A process is an instance of a program in executing. It contains its current activity, such as its program code and also the contents of the processor’s register. It generally includes the process stack, which contain temporary data, and a data section, which global variables. During runtime, it may include a heap, or dynamically allocated memory. In contrast with a program, a process is “an active entity, with a program counter specifying the next instruction to execute and a set of associated resources” (Operating System Concept 106). A process is a program that executes a single instance of a thread. Multiple threads can exist which allows more than one task to perform at a time. Multithreaded processes may share resources such as code, data, and file section. They do not share resources such as registers and stack.
According to Microsoft, the simplest definition of a process is an executed program. A thread is “the basic unit to which the operating system allocates processor time”. A thread can “execute any part of the process code, including parts currently being executed by another thread”. In Windows, threads share its virtual address space and system resources. Unlike the conceptual model, each thread “maintains exception handlers, a scheduling priority, thread local storage, a unique thread identifier and a set of structures the system will use to save the thread context until it is scheduled”. Like the conceptual model of a thread, Windows’ threads do not share registers and stack resources. This is because the thread context includes “the thread’s set of machine registers, the kernel stack, a thread environment lock and a user stack in the address sp...

... to a session, a process group leader is “the process whose pid is the same as its process group ID”. On creation, a process becomes a member of its parent’s process group. A session contains a number of process groups. When a user logs out of the system, the kernel must be able to terminate all the processes it had running. Otherwise, the system will wait for inputs that will never come. To help with this task, processes are grouped into sessions. Every process group is in a unique session. On creation, a process becomes a member of its parent’s session. The session’s ID is “the same as the pid of the process that created the session through the setsid() system call” (Johnson and Troan). The session leader contains all of the process’ descendants unless the process is removed from the session. The setsid() returns the new session ID and does not take any arguments.
Suppose a process on machine X calls a procedure on another machine Y. The calling process (machine X) gets suspended, and procedure parameters are transferred to machine Y and procedure is executed on machine Y. Then after when the procedure finishes, results are transferred back to the calling environment (machine X), where execution resumes as if returning from regular procedure call.
There are several process and challenges found during examining process. In process there is a model called “process model” which is a step to prepare, collect, examine, analysis and report the evidences.
Process philosophy is known as the idea that everything is changing. Over the years, process philosophy has changed the way humans exist and go about their day to day lives. In order to fully grasp the concept of process philosophy we will first take a closer look at process philosophy, as a whole, its history, and the ideas behind this particular philosophy. Then we will discuss the effects process philosophy has had on marriage and family, followed by a brief commentary.
Throughout history, man has been trying to explain man’s origin, purpose, and identity. By trying to figure out these difficult questions, many have come to the realization that either man is either theistic and believes there is a God and a supernatural presence or that man is atheistic believing that there is not God and rejects the supernatural. Because of this man can choose either of those world views. If they in fact choose the atheistic worldview they in turn will turn to another belief or set of values that reject the supernatural and replaces it with another aspect of life. One of those alternate philosophies would be process philosophy. Process philosophy is the belief that reality and life is not fixed or absolute meaning that everything within reality has the ability to change and progress as time continues on. Process philosophy has had a great effect on American society involving civil rights. Within the past century many changes have occurred including: voting and equal rights for blacks and women and rights for those who are homosexual. These rights are direct examples of process philosophy working to its fullest extent within American society.
To understand how process theologians come to this conclusion I need to establish what process theology is. Process philosophy opposes the timeless reality that was established by most western metaphysical philosophers. For Plato it was form, for Aristotle essence, for Descartes the mind. Any change of a substance was merely aesthetic or temporary. Process philosophy’s centerpiece is change; entities are constantly becoming rather than situated in being. Every instance contains an actual entity, which is “each unit of process; it is a drop of experience which comes into existence through the creative process of concrescence. Actual entities are the ‘final real things of which the world is made up.’ They are the building blocks which, through an essential interconnectedness, make up the composite world of rocks, tress, and people” (Suchocki). These entities merge together and give us the present. God comes in as an arbiter and knower of all the actual entities. God consists of all potentialities of existence for actual occasions and offers possibilities by ordering the relevance of eternal objects. The consequent nature of God (God’s feelings in the world) prehends everything that happens in reality. Prehension “involves emotion, purpose, and valuation. Because of prehension, there is connectedness in the universe.”(Suchocki) This prehension and connectedness to the world is what makes God experience all of reality consciously. The last nature is the superjective or how the occasion has an effect beyond itself, which make God’s synthesis sensible for other actual entities. This connectedness causes God to lose his all-powerful status. Though he has persuasive power and basic non-human properties that would be considered power, Go...
group or one person have control of a group of people. There is two different
Leaders will often separate in-group and out-group members based on similarities of the group member and the leader. Other characteristics that can play into it are age, gender, or even a member’s personality. A member can be granted in-group status if the leader thinks the member is competent and is going above and beyond to perform the job functions. As mentioned the two groups that members can fall into are in-group and out-group. In-group members are those that share similarities with the leader. Those similarities can be personality, work ethic, common interests, or even alma maters. In-group members often go above and beyond their job description and the leader does more for these members. In-group members will have their opinions and work ideas looked at in higher regard than out-group members. In-group members typically have higher job satisfaction within the group and are less likely to experience turnover. In-group members are often promoted within the organization f...

Drama according to the Wikipedia free encyclopedia is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance, which comes from a Greek word (drao) meaning action. A dramatic production depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes, it put the characters in conflict with themselves, others, society and even natural phenomena. According to Learning Stream, “drama is a literary composition involving conflict, action crisis and atmosphere designed to be acted by characters on a stage before an audience.”
Virtualization technologies provide isolation of operating systems from hardware. This separation enables hardware resource sharing. With virtualization, a system pretends to be two or more of the same system [23]. Most modern operating systems contain a simplified system of virtualization. Each running process is able to act as if it is the only thing running. The CPUs and memory are virtualized. If a process tries to consume all of the CPU, a modern operating system will pre-empt it and allow others their fair share. Similarly, a running process typically has its own virtual address space that the operating system maps to physical memory to give the process the illusion that it is the only user of RAM.
...n extension as easy as possible for programmers to use (Denning, 1997). Virtual memory also makes better use of memory by loading in just a few pieces. This means at any one time, only a few pieces of any given process are in memory, therefore, more processes can be maintained in memory. For virtual memory to be realistic and effectual, two ingredients are needed. First, there must be hardware support for the paging and/or segmentation scheme to be employed. Second, the operating system must include software for managing the movement of pages and/or segments between secondary memory and main memory. Virtual memory combines your computer’s RAM with temporary space on your hard disk. When RAM runs low, virtual memory moves data from RAM to a space called a paging file. Moving data to and from the paging file frees up RAM so your computer can complete its work.
Process Management can be defined as a concept which helps integrate performance excellence and quality into the strategic management of organizations. Process management includes activities such as defining a process, establishing responsibilities, evaluating process performance and also identifying opportunities for improvement. Innovation, on the other hand, can be defined as the conversion of knowledge and ideas into new or improved products, processes or services to gain competitive advantage. After reading the first article it is clear that it focuses mainly on three different programs that are associated with process management. These three processes are listed as TQM, ISO 9000, and Six Sigma.
Continuous process: production method which is similar to assembly line but the product flow continuously such as drugs, chemicals rather than discrete like cars. Facilities operated on continuous basis they may not shutdown (24 hours). There are some risks or wastes in these kind of production for example overproduction, waiting time, inventory and processing waste.
computer architecture Computer architecture covers the design of system software, such as the operating system (the program that controls the computer), as well as referring to the combination of hardware and basic software that links the machines on a computer network. Computer architecture refers to an entire structure and to the details needed to make it functional. Thus, computer architecture covers computer systems, microprocessors, circuits, and system programs. Typically the term does not refer to application programs, such as spreadsheets or word processing, which are required to perform a task but not to make the system run.
