Upstart operates asynchronously; it handles starting of the tasks and services during boot and stopping them during shutdown, and also supervises the tasks and services while the system is running.

LTS applies the tenets of reliability engineering to the software development process and software release life cycle.Long-term support extends the period of software maintenance; it also alters the type and frequency of software updates to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software.
The application stores reading progress, bookmarks and annotations in a central directory using one JSON file per book. These can be synchronized with other devices, although it uses a format that does not work immediately with other reading software. It can also check for spelling errors in annotations and export them as Markdown. [8]
The Service Location Protocol (SLP, srvloc) is a service discovery protocol that allows computers and other devices to find services in a local area network without prior configuration. SLP has been designed to scale from small, unmanaged networks to large enterprise networks.
