Experimental results on the support of TCP over 802.11b: an insight into fairness issues

Great attention has been dedicated, in the recent years, to the WLAN standards that are opening the market to the short range and high data rate wireless services in the local and hot spot areas. Technically speaking, the main strength of the most quoted standard, the IEEE 802.11, is the fully distributed nature of the access scheme, that provides cheap and easy-to-install components, able to o...

An Insight into Swarm Intelligence

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a type of artificial intelligence based on the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems. The expression was introduced by Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang in 1989, in the context of cellular robotic systems. Swarm Intelligence systems are typically made up of a population of simple agents or boids interacting locally with one another and with their envir...

An insight into domain combinations

Domains are the building blocks of all globular proteins, and are units of compact three-dimensional structure as well as evolutionary units. There is a limited repertoire of domain families, so that these domain families are duplicated and combined in different ways to form the set of proteins in a genome. Proteins are gene products. The processes that produce new genes are duplication and rec...
