Cost Efficient Upgrading of OPS Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We come back on a technique to build modular switch nodes. This approach allows for a more cost effective expansion of OPS nodes. We give two example designs, showing that the method is useful only for Broadcast & Select OPS nodes when taking price decrease in function of time into account.

Improving Minimum Cost Spanning Trees by Upgrading Nodes
We study budget constrained network upgrading problems. We are given an undirected edge weighted graph G V E where node v V can be upgraded at a cost of c v . This upgrade reduces the weight of each edge incident on v. The goal is to find a minimum cost set of nodes to be upgraded so that the resulting network has a minimum spanning tree of weight no more than a given budget D. The results obta...

Several problems arising in the areas of communication networks and VLSI design can be expressed in the following general form: Enhance the performance of an underlying network by upgrading some of its nodes. We investigate one such problem. Consider a network where nodes represent processors and edges represent bidirectional communication links. The processor at a node v can be upgraded at an ...
متن کاملffi cient Job Upgrading , Search on the Job and Output Dispersion ∗
A worker’s job can be improved through on-the-job search (OJS) and job upgrading. Incorporating these external and internal job dynamics into a directed search model, this paper analytically characterizes the socially efficient allocation and quantitatively evaluates the model. The analysis shows that efficient OJS is front-loaded in a worker’s career and stops after a finite number of job swit...
متن کاملTWAN: A way of networking third-world astronomers
This talk describes a proposal to set up a series of international institutions in different parts of the world to serve as nodes in a network that links astronomers from the developing nations worldwide. This network, along with its nodes is visualized as an economic way of upgrading the facilities for teaching, research and development of astronomy in the Third World countries. By way of illu...
متن کاملA novel key management scheme for heterogeneous sensor networks based on the position of nodes
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...
