Exploitation of Switched Lightpaths for e-Health: Constraints and Challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Exploitation of Switched Lightpaths for e-Science Applications (ESLEA) project is evaluating the feasibility of using switched lightpath networks to support various e-Science applications. This feasibility is being investigated via case studies, one of which pertains to the use of such networks to support distributed healthcare research and delivery. We consider some of the constraints and challenges associated with the use of switched lightpath networks in this context.

Data Gathering in Optical Networks with the TL1 Toolkit
This paper describes a new tool for gathering (performance) data from optical network devices. During the last few years many National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) have deployed hybrid networks. These hybrid networks consist of a traditional routed IP part and an innovative optical part. On the optical part lightpath services are offered. These lightpaths are high speed (up to 10 Gbp...
متن کامل“Enemies of the People?” Public Health in the Era of Populist Politics; Comment on “The Rise of Post-truth Populism in Pluralist Liberal Democracies: Challenges for Health Policy”
In this commentary, we review the growth of populist politics, associated with exploitation of what has been termed fake news. We explore how certain words have been used in similar contexts historically, in particular the term “enemy of the people,” especially with regard to public health. We then set out 6 principles for public health professionals faced with these situations. First, using th...
متن کاملResource Allocation in User-Controlled Circuit-Switched Optical Networks
The concept of a user-controlled circuit-switched optical network is gaining popularity in an effort to fulfill the insatiable data transport needs of the scientific community. We consider the resource allocation challenges that arise in such a network, based on prior experience in developing a user-controlled lightpath management system. In particular, we examine problems related to partitioni...
متن کاملCommunity Psychology as a Process of Citizen Participation in Health Policy; Comment on “The Rise of Post-truth Populism in Pluralist Liberal Democracies: Challenges for Health Policy”
This brief commentary discusses a recent paper by Speed and Mannion that explores “The Rise of post truth populism in liberal democracies: challenges for health policy.” It considers their assertion that through meaningful democratic engagement in health policy, some of the risks brought about by an exclusionary populist politics can be mediated. With an overview of what participation means in ...
متن کاملDynamic lightpath protection in WDM mesh networks under wavelength-continuity and risk-disjoint constraints
Path protection requires finding a working path and a protection path that are link disjoint. In this paper, we consider two fundamental problems on dynamic lightpath protection in WDM mesh networks. In the first problem, we consider a network without wavelength converters; thus both the working lightpath and protection lightpath are subject to the wavelength continuity constraint. Existing pol...
