Abstract

Building university timetables is a complex process that considers varying types of constraints and objectives from one institution to another. The problem solved in this paper is a real one featuring a number of hard and soft constraints that are not very conventional. The pursued [...]

Abstract

Inter-domain traffic engineering is a key issue when QoS-aware resource optimization is concerned. Mapping inter-domain traffic flows into existing service level agreements is, in general, a complex problem, for which some algorithms have recently been proposed in the literature. [...]

Abstract

In order to provide better Quality-of-Service (QoS) in large networks, several congestion pricing proposals have been made in the last decade. Usually, however, those proposals studied optimal strategies and did not focus on implementation issues. Our main contribution in this paper [...]

Abstract

In order realistically and cost-effectively to realize the ATM (Air Traffic Management) 2000+ Strategy, systems from different suppliers will be interconnected to form a complete functional and operational environment, covering ground segments and aerospace. Industry will be involved [...]

Abstract

Computer technology for communication has become an integral aspect of daily operation. The exponential growth of internet services with dynamic inquiries in such areas as manufacturing, business, air traffic control and mission critical systems demands that there be quick, reliable [...]

Abstract

In order to accommodate fluctuations in network conditions, adaptive applications need to obtain information about resource availability. Using active networks, new models for adaptive applications can be envisaged, which can benefit from the possibility to send mobile code to the [...]

Abstract

High reliability organizations do exist. They have been defined as those organizations that conduct thousands of high-consequence operations a year, essentially error-free. Naval air carriers, air traffic control, and commercial aviation are some of these kinds of organizations. How [...]

Abstract

The visualization of large, remotely located data sets necessitates the development of a distributed computing pipeline in order to reduce the data, in stages, to a manageable size. The required baseline infrastructure for launching such a distributed pipeline is becoming available, [...]

Abstract

The goal of any operation is to complete tasks efficiently and effectively. Working safely is completely consistent with efficient, reliable operations. Working in an unsafe manner is not effective or ultimately efficient. If someone is hurt, work stops. Following the steps advocated [...]

Abstract

Date of Conference: 1-3 Oct. 2003 Conference name: Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE Workshop on IP Operations & Management (IPOM 2003) We propose a novel traffic engineering architecture for IP networks with multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) backbones. In this architecture, two (primary [...]
