PQSresponsive
PQSresponsive is a framework and set of design principles for building software that adapts its user interface and resource management in response to Predictive Quality Signals (PQS). The aim is to maintain perceived responsiveness under varying conditions by prioritizing essential actions and deferring noncritical work.
The PQS concept collects signals such as user input latency, network conditions, device CPU and memory load,
Architecture typically includes a PQS core that aggregates signals, a priority queue scheduler, a resource allocator,
Applications include single-page applications, real-time dashboards, streaming clients, and other latency-sensitive software. It is particularly relevant
History and status: the concept emerged in research and industry discussions during the early 2020s as a
Limitations and critique: collecting signals incurs overhead, and misprioritized tasks can worsen performance. Adoption often requires
