We propose Delegated Tuning and Forwarding (DTF), a new architecture for dynamically assigning wavelength channels in a \broadcast star" optical network. DTF exploits tunable components without making excessive demands on tuner agility by combining the tuning on demand of receivers with the forwarding of packets over a logical topology. We describe the control algorithms of DTF and prove some r...

In his article "New Challenges for the Archiving of Digital Writing" Heiko Zimmermann discusses the challenges of the preservation of digital texts. In addition to the problems already at the focus of attention of digital archivists, there are elements in digital literature which need to be taken into consideration when trying to archive them. Zimmermann analyses two works of digital literature...
