Improving client outcomes whilst maintaining scheme sustainability

Whilst Maintaining Robust Epidemiological Predictions

Preserving privacy whilst maintaining robust epidemiological predictions.

Mathematical models are invaluable tools for quantifying potential epidemics and devising optimal control strategies in case of an outbreak. State-of-the-art models increasingly require detailed individual farm-based and sensitive data, which may not be available due to either lack of capacity for data collection or privacy concerns. However, in many situations, aggregated data are available fo...

Maintaining Consistency of Client-Cached Data

This paper addresses the problem of cache consistency in a client-server database environment. We assume the server provides shared database access for multiple client workstations and that client workstations may cache a portion of the database. Our primary goal is to investigate techniques to maintain the consistency of the client cache and to improve server throughput. We propose a new cache...

Experience of maintaining laboratory educational website's sustainability

Laboratory methodology websites are specialized niche websites. The visibility of a niche website transforms it into an authority site on a particular "niche of knowledge." This article presents some ways in which a laboratory methodology website can maintain its sustainability. The optimal composition of the website includes a basic content, a blog, and an ancillary part. This article discusse...

Client-to-Client Streaming Scheme for VOD Applications

In this paper, we propose an efficient client-to-client streaming approach to cooperatively stream the video using chaining technique with unicast communication among the clients. This approach considers two major issues of VoD 1) Prefix caching scheme to accommodate more number of videos closer to client, so that the request-service delay for the user can be minimized. 2) Cooperative proxy and...
