Future networked appliances should be able to download new services or upgrades from the network and execute them locally. This flexibility is typically achieved by processors tha...
Network design models with more than one facility type have many applications in communication and distribution problems. Due to their complexity, previous studies have focused on...
Building on an existing 2-approximate algorithm for the class of network design problems with downwards-monotone demand functions, many of which are NP-hard, we present an algorith...
—Switched networks have been adopted in on-chip communication for their scalability and efficient resource sharing. However, using a general network for a specific domain may res...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
