Responsiveness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about responsiveness in human computer interaction. For responsiveness of a vehicle, see Throttle response. For a related concept in electrical engineering, see Responsivity. For an unrelated concept in chemistry, see Reactivity (chemistry).
Not to be confused with High availability.
Responsiveness as a concept of computer science refers to the specific ability of a system or functional unit to complete assigned tasks within a given time.[1] For example, it would refer to the ability of an artificial intelligence system to understand and carry out its tasks in a timely fashion.[2]

In the Reactive principle, Responsiveness is one of the fundamental criteria along with resilience, elasticity and message driven.[3]
It is one of the criteria under the principle of robustness (from a v principle). The other three are observability, recoverability, and task conformance.
