Key Questions for Next-Generation Biomonitoring

Next Generation TCP: Open Questions

While there has been significant progress in recent years in the development of TCP congestion control algorithms for high BDP paths, consensus remains lacking with regard to a number of basic issues. The aim of the present paper is to highlight some of these key bottleneck issues and present a number of new results with a view to promoting discussion and fostering progress. Issues highlighted ...

Key challenges for next - generation pharmacogenomics

T he “post-genomic revolution” has advanced our understanding of the molecular etiology of a range of human genetic diseases, which might lead to improved disease prognosis and treatment. Over the past decade, genomics research has revealed the genomic variants underlying diseases, from single nucleotide variations to complex genome rearrangements, and/or altered gene expression patterns that l...

Key Technologies for the next-generation Internet

It is not an exaggeration to say that we are currently living in the “Age of the Internet”. In the past few years, the Internet has witnessed a phenomenal growth and affected the average man’s life in no ways that were predictable or even dreamed of when the initial designers of the Internet started working on ARPANET (the early conception of the current Internet) in the 60’s. The growth in the...

Middleware: the key to next generation computing

Key Principles for Wholesale Access over Next Generation Fixed Networks

The continuing trend of increasing broadband adoption and utilisation is driving the deployment of technologies with greater capabilities based on fibre deployment and widely referred to as Next Generation Access (NGA). Among the wire-line operators (as opposed to cable or mobile operators), the dominant technologies used for NGA will be VDSL2 or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP). FTTP can be via ei...
