The notion of timeout (namely, the maximal time to wait before retrying an action) turns up in many networking contexts, such as packet transmission, connection establishment, etc....
This paper considers a two-stage development problem for information goods with costless quality degradation. In our model, a seller of information goods faces customers that are ...
A custom genetic algorithm was developed and implemented to solve multiple objective multi-state reliability optimization design problems. Many real-world engineering design proble...
Backscatter radio is proposed for sensor networks. In that way, the transmitter for each sensor is simplified to a transistor connected to an antenna and therefore, the cost for ea...
In this paper, we propose a new SLA model for best effort IP traffic over WDM networks. This model jointly considers two QoS metrics, workable traffic volume and availability, as ...
