In manyoptimization and decision problems the objective function can be expressed as a linear combinationof competingcriteria, the weights of whichspecify the relative importanceo...
—We have currently reached a phase where big shifts in the network traffic might impose to rethink the design of current architectures, and where new technologies, being pushed ...
We design improved approximation algorithms for two variants of the ADM minimization problem. SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) are the dominant cost factor in SONET/WDM rings. T...
Communities of autonomous units are being developed for formal specification and semantic analysis of systems of interacting and mobile components. The autonomous units of a commu...
Application Level Multicast is a promising approach to overcome the deployment problems of IP level multicast by establishing delivery trees using overlay links among end systems....
