Dynamics of a Time-outs Management System
Vincenzo De Florio, Chris L. Blondia · Complex Systems · 2006
We call "time-out" a software entity that postpones a function call by a given amount of time expressed as local clock ticks. The subject of this paper is a simple software system managing lists of time-outs. We briefly describe that system and discuss its dynamics. We show some experimental results that prove the emergence of complex behaviors.
