— Multiprotocol Label Switching or MPLS technology is being increasingly deployed by several of the largest Internet service providers to solve problems such as traffic engineer...
APS algorithms use the basic idea of distance vector routing to find positions in an ad hoc network using only a fraction of landmarks, for example GPS enabled nodes. All the node...
The analysis of real-time properties of an embedded system usually relies on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of the tasks to be executed. In contrast to that, in real world ...
The best known method to find exact or at least -approximate solutions to polynomial programming problems is the spatial Branch-and-Bound algorithm, which rests on computing lower...
