Traditionally, research on routing and wavelength assignment over wavelength-routed WDM
networks is concerned with immediate reservation (IR) demands. An IR demand typically …

Novel routing paradigms based on policies, quality of service (QoS) requirements, and
packet content have been proposed for the Internet over the last decade. Constraint-based …

Providing quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees in packet networks gives rise to several
challenging issues. One of them is how to determine a feasible path that satisfies a set of …

Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) have been recently proposed as a promising solution to complex
on-chip communication problems. The lack of an unified representation of applications and …

Prompted by the advent of QoS routing in the Internet, we investigate the properties that path
weight functions must have so that hop-by-hop routing is possible and optimal paths can be …

The underlying concepts of an exact QoS routing algorithm are explained. We show that
these four concepts, namely 1) nonlinear definition of the path length; 2) a/spl kappa …

ICTs and e-learning technologies have been exploited thoroughly, in an effort to improve the
education procedures and techniques and ensure that nontraditional students (disabled …

One of the key steps in Network-on-Chip (NoC) based design is spatial mapping of cores
and routing of the communication between those cores. Known solutions to the mapping …

Advance reservation is a useful network service that can not only provide guaranteed
services for real-time applications but also allow networks to better plan their resource …

Abstract We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem: given a
collection ℛ of n axis-parallel rectangles, find a maximum-cardinality subset of disjoint …
