In many manufacturing processes, the quality of a product is characterized by a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Using nonlinear regression for monitoring nonlinear profiles have been proposed in the literature of profile monitoring which is faced with two problems 1) the distribution of regression coefficients in small samples is unkno...

For attribute data with (very) small failure rates control charts were introduced which are based on subsequent groups of r failure times, for some r ≥ 1. Within this family, it was shown to be attractive to stop once the maximum of such a group is sufficiently small, because this choice allows a very satisfactory nonparametric adaptation. The question we address here is whether a cumulative ap...

This paper describes a NSIS QoS Model for inter-domain signaling (InterDomain-QOSM) between adjacent domains to enable endto-end QoS provisioning over heterogeneous network domains. Specifically, it assumes a distinct separation between the intra-domain control plane and the inter-domain control plane at each administrative domain and is intended to implement a common inter-domain control inter...
