Representation of a FIFO queue. In computing and in systems theory, first in, first out (the first in is the first out), acronymized as FIFO, is a method for organizing the manipulation of a data structure (often, specifically a data buffer) where the oldest (first) entry, or "head" of the queue, is processed first.
A backup rotation scheme is a system of backing up data to computer media (such as tapes) that minimizes, by re-use, the number of media used.The scheme determines how and when each piece of removable storage is used for a backup job and how long it is retained once it has backup data stored on it.
The operations of a queue make it a first-in-first-out (FIFO) data structure. In a FIFO data structure, the first element added to the queue will be the first one to be removed. This is equivalent to the requirement that once a new element is added, all elements that were added before have to be removed before the new element can be removed.
The use of FIFO is a response to the precarity of resource extraction sectors: the workers can be shipped in quickly during resource booms and sent away during busts. [4] Usually, a fly-in fly-out job involves working a long shift (e.g., 12 hours each day) for a number of continuous days with all days off spent at home rather than at the work site.
State diagram for a simple Mealy machine with one input and one output. (For every input value outputs 1 if the current input value is different from the previous or 0 otherwise.) A simple Mealy machine has one input and one output. Each transition edge is labeled with the value of the input (shown in red) and the value of the output (shown in ...
It has since been extended to A/S/c/K/N/D where K is the capacity of the queue, N is the size of the population of jobs to be served, and D is the queueing discipline. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] When the final three parameters are not specified (e.g. M/M/1 queue ), it is assumed K = ∞, N = ∞ and D = FIFO .

Stock rotation is a way of mitigating stock loss. It is the practice, used in hospitality and retail, especially in food stores such as restaurants and supermarkets, of moving products with an earlier sell-by date to the front of a shelf (or in the cooler if the stored item is on repack so they get worked out before the new product), [1] so they get picked up and sold first, and of moving ...
