	Availability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Note 2: Typical availability objectives are specified either in decimal fractions, such as 0.9998, or sometimes in a logarithmic unit called nines, which corresponds roughly to a number of nines following the decimal point, such as "five nines" for 0.99999 reliability.
		Availability is well established in the literature of Stochastic Modeling and Optimal Maintenance.
		Availability measures are classified by either the time interval of interest or the mechanisms for the system downtime.

	Dummies::Figuring Out Availability in Project 2002
		By default, a resource is assigned to a task at 100% availability, but you can modify that if you know someone will be busy with several tasks and is likely to put in only part of their time over the course of a task.
		Remember, the availability setting is there to help you spot overbooking of a resource that might work on multiple tasks at the same time in a project schedule.
		In addition to being available only a certain percentage of the time on any task, a resource may be available for only a certain period of time during the life of the task.

	Availability Heuristic
		Things which are easier to imagine, for example if they are very vivid makes themselves more available.
		This may also be why we can seem egocentric: because our own experiences are more available to us.

	Nature Debates: Authors willing to pay for instant web access (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although availability varies greatly by discipline, more than a million research articles are now freely available on the web.
		Online availability of an article may not greatly improve access and impact without efficient and comprehensive search services; a substantial percentage of the literature needs to be indexed by these search services before scientists consider them useful.
		Figure 1 shows the probability that an article is freely available online as a function of the number of citations to the article, and the year of publication of the article.

	An Analysis of Netflix's DVD Allocation System
		When the number of customers who have a movie at the the top of their queue is greater than the number of copies available, Netflix must decide which customers to allocate the available copies to.
		A slashdot poster suggested average rental price was in fact what is affecting availability, and this it would take into account the various rental plans.
		This can occur, for example, when your top choices are not available to you from your closest distribution center or the number of shipments to be processed by the distribution center on that day has been exceeded.

	Prime Palaver #6
		As a practical proposition, the theory behind the Free Library is that, certainly in the long run, it benefits an author to have a certain number of free or cheap titles of theirs readily available to the public.
		If being available for free in the Library has hurt me any, with that book, I'd be puzzled to see how.
		Making one or a few titles of an author's writings available for free electronically in the Free Library seems to have no other impact, certainly over time, than to increase that author's general audience recognition-and thereby, indirectly if not directly, the sales of his or her books.

		All applications are available at least some of the time, but Web-based applications and mission-critical enterprise applications must typically provide round-the-clock services.
		However, availability is not easy to implement and requires a considerably more complex architectural infrastructure than the previous generation of client/server applications.
		If your application requires high availability, you will want to understand how design choices help maximize application availability and how testing can validate planned service levels.
