Interconnection networks enable fast data communication between components of a digital
system. Today, interconnection networks are used in a variety of applications such as switch …

Designing a backbone network is hard. On one hand, users expect the network to have very
high availability, little or no congestion, and hence little or no queueing delay. On the other …

Hybrid switching--in which a high bandwidth circuit switch (optical or wireless) is used in
conjunction with a low bandwidth packet switch--is a promising alternative to interconnect …

Network operators would like their network to support current and future traffic matrices,
even when links and routers fail. Not surprisingly, no backbone network can do this today: It …

There is a need to identify factors that affect the result of empirical studies in software
engineering research. It is still the case that seemingly identical replications of controlled …

Accessing of data from cloud storage is growing as many users are getting in to the internet
use. Data are stored in at multiple locations and can access services of different layers …

File distribution and storage in a cloud storage environment is usually handled by storage
device providers or physical storage devices rented from third parties. Files can be …

Hybrid switching—in which a high bandwidth circuit switch (optical or wireless) is used in
