We are proposing to develop a fault-tolerant distributed computing and database system for use in High Energy Physics, but applicable to other disciplines. This system will allow us to solve the challenging problem of data processing, analysis and simulation by exploiting developments in distributed systems, fault tolerance, high performance networks and database technology. We will extend the ...

In high-speed communication networks, large propagation delays could have an adverse impact on the stability of feedback control algorithms. In this paper, classical control theory and Smith's principle are exploited to design an algorithm for controlling “best effort” traffic in high-speed asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. The designed algorithm guarantees the stability of network que...

This work designs and analyzes a cost-effective growable multicast asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch that has a new grouping network structure. The proposed switch can easily be enlarged by using more stages, since both cell routing and contention resolution are designed to distribute over switch elements. Experimental results indicate that, by allowing valid cells to enter grouping netwo...

The growth of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology and the maturity of coding standards have made the large-scale deployment of high-quality audiovisual services possible. In this article, we discuss the principal issues involved in transporting MPEG-2 streams over ATM networks for both constant bit-rate (CBR) and variable bit-rate (VBR) MPEG-2 Transport Streams. We review existing and p...

In this paper, we suggest diagnosing InterOperability Testing problems by integrating Constraint-Based and Case-Based Reasoning. We model the problem as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), then CaseBased Reasoning (CBR) is used to compensate for what is missing in this model. CBR supports the process of learning by supplying the case-base with new cases that can be used to solve future sim...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network technology is expected to become a central part of the emerging global information infrastructure. ATM networks introduce a number of features that distinguish them from earlier technologies and introduce new issues in network control. This paper ooers a framework for precisely deening and analyzing alternative approaches to the distributed control of AT...

Future high-speed computer communication networks are expected to utilize Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology. In order to broadly deploy ATM-based networks, numerous congestion control mechanisms are presently being developed by the industry and research community alike. In this paper, we propose a general method to evaluate the performance of a given congestion control scheme by obser...

This document describes the use of a single RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) reservation to aggregate other RSVP reservations across a transit routing region, in a manner conceptually similar to the use of Virtual Paths in an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network. It proposes a way to dynamically create the aggregate reservation, classify the traffic for which the aggregate reservation a...
