Agent-Based Decision Support: A Case-Study on DSL Access Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network management is a complex task involving various challenges, such as the heterogeneity of the infrastructure or the information flood caused by billions of log messages from different systems and operated by different organizational units. All of these messages and systems may contain information relevant to other operational units. For example, in order to ensure reliable DSL connections for IPTV customers, optimal customer traffic path assignments for the current network state and traffic demands need to be evaluated. Currently reassignments are only manually performed during routine maintenance or as a response to reported problems. In this paper we present a decision support system for this task. In addition, the system predicts future possible demands and allows reconfigurations of a DSL access network before congestions may occur.

COPS-Based Dynamic QoS Support for SIP Applications in DSL Networks
In this paper, several dynamic QoS solutions including Direct DiffServ, Admission-based Direct DiffServ, Indirect DiffServ, and Hybrid DiffServ are proposed to support largely emerging SIP-based P2P(Peer-to-Peer) and ASP(Application Service Provider) multimedia applications in DSL networks, most widely deployed as broadband access networks. The proposed solutions are designed to be based on sta...
متن کاملDecision Support System for Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of visual loss among the elderly. It causes degeneration of cells in the macula. Early diagnosis can be helpful in preventing blindness. Drusen are the initial symptoms of AMD. Since drusen have a wide variety, locating them in screening images is difficult and time-consuming. An automated digital fundus photography...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
متن کاملFlow-Level Upstream Traffic Behavior in Broadband Access Networks: DSL versus Broadband Fixed Wireless
In this paper, we present flow-level upstream traffic behavior based on data collected from Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) and Digital Subscriber Link (DSL) access services. The study involves data collected using Cisco’s NetFlow tools on both access networks. The observations indicate that a number of applications based on peer-to-peer (P2P) concepts are creating most of the upstream traffic. ...
متن کاملOrganizational Learning and Knowledge Spillover in Innovation Networks: Agent-Based Approach (Extending SKIN Framework)
In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
