Network self-awareness is the ability of a network to observe its own behavior using internal probing and measurement mechanisms, and to make effective autonomous use of these obs...
— This paper examines burst contention resolution problems in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Since burst contentions take place i) when the network is congested by incre...
- We present a new protocol for reliable data transfer in time-critical applications with zero tolerance for data loss in wireless sensor networks which uses less time and fewer me...
— We present in this work a new mechanism based on an innovative hybrid approach for traffic and collision control in wireless ad hoc networks. We combine the well known equatio...
The global network of datacenters is emerging as an important distributed systems paradigm -- commodity clusters running high-performance applications, connected by high-speed `la...
