Responsiveness

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.

The rationale behind the responsiveness principle is that the system should deliver results of an operation to users in a timely and organized manner.

There are at least three user tolerance thresholds (i.e.):[4] Although numerous other options may exist, the most frequently used and recommended answers to responsiveness issues are:

Responsiveness requires a low latency/delay of the entire input-output-loop.
