In this paper we compare the performance of fault localization schemes for communication networks. Our model assumes a number of management centers, each responsible for a logically autonomous part of the whole telecommunication network.

In this paper we develop design principles for a serious game on data sharing in business ecosystems. Even though has been said to be the new fuel of economy, have not seen much large-scale trading industrial settings. The purpose is experimentally study dynamics simulated ecosystems, particularly under different kinds governance structures: centralized and decentralized objective also support ...
