Network virtualization has been recognized as an important technique to overcome the perceived ossification of the current Internet. Several variations of network virtualization have already been discussed in the literature. These approaches use virtualization to partition and/or combine physical network resources into virtual network resources. An actual deployment of virtual networks then req...

This study seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms through which knowledge management (KM) influences organizational performance based on the concept of KM capability. It is proposed that organizational and human resources moderate the effects of physical resources on KM capability. The effect of KM capability under environmental dynamism is also examined. Recognizing that public organiza...

In the virtualization based cloud computing environment, multiple computers are allowed to run as virtual machines (VM) in a single physical computer. Efficient scheduling of limited underlying resources has been a key issue. This paper presents a formal method of CPU resources scheduling (FRS). VMs are divided into three resources statuses according to resources requirements and their run info...

For scalability purposes, multiple physical resources that interconnect Label Switching Routers (LSRs) can be combined to form a single traffic engineering (TE) link for the purposes of path computation and signaling. These resources may represent one or more physical links that connect the LSRs, or they may represent a Label Switched Path (LSP) if LSP hierarchy [RFC4206] is used. The managemen...

BACKGROUND It has commonly been suggested (including by this author) that individual or household deprivation (for example, low income) is amplified by area level deprivation (for example, lack of affordable nutritious food or facilities for physical activity in the neighbourhood). DISCUSSION The idea of deprivation amplification has some intuitive attractiveness and helps divert attention aw...

Physical activity has been identified as a public health priority. In response, training and professional development opportunities have been created to increase the capacity of public health practitioners to address this issue. Currently, training resources are primarily reaching national- and state-level professionals. Local-level physical activity and public health practitioners can also ben...

There is a disconnect between developments in modern data analysis and some parts of the physical sciences in which they could find ready use. This introduction, and this issue, provides resources to help experimental researchers access modern data analysis tools and exposure for analysts to extant challenges in physical science. We include a table of resources connecting statistical and physic...

The concept of schedulable region previously introduced to broadband networks with quality of service guarantees is extended to multimedia devices such as audio/video processing and disk storage units. The resulting multimedia capacity region characterizes the amount of resources a physical device is able to provide under quality of service constraints. The modeling methodology supports a strai...
