The Boltzmann machine is a massively parallel computational model capable of solving a
broad class of combinatorial optimization problems. In recent years, it has been successfully …

State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission
rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate …

Over the past several years there has been a considerable amount of research within the
field of quality of service (QoS) support for distributed multimedia systems. To date, most of …

The World Wide Web includes a netWork of servers on the Internet, each of Which is
associated With one or more HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) pages. The HTML pages …

Over the past several years there has been a considerable amount of research within the
field of quality-of-service (QoS) support for distributed multimedia systems. To date, most of …

Network arrivals are often modeled as Poisson processes for analytic simplicity, even
though a number of traffic studies have shown that packet interarrivals are not exponentially …

For applications relying on the transfer of multimedia, and in particular continuous media, it
is essential that quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed system-wide, including end-systems …

Many designs for integrated services networks offer a bounded delay packet delivery service
to support real-time applications. To provide a bounded delay service, networks must use …

A new ATM service category, the available bit rate service, is currently the subject of intense
development. This new service will systematically and dynamically allocate available …

The authors examine the transport and storage of video compressed with a variable bit rate
(VBR). They focus primarily on networked video, although they also briefly consider other …
