Final Thesis: A Theory of Software Update Systems
Abstract: Software updates resolve shortcomings within already released products. Technological advances provided for a vast frequency increase of such improvements. Large and diverse installation populations require the support of patch delivery by adequate utility systems. Such a software update system (henceforth abbreviated as SUS) is regarded a key element in achieving high penetration of patches. By […]Abstract: Software updates resolve shortcomings within already released products. Technological advances provided for a vast frequency increase of such improvements.
