ATM is seen by many users today as a solution to networks with bandwidth limitation. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the amount of communication bandwidth actually available to applications rather than raw network bandwidth. In order to determine ATM’s bandwidth between applications, we studied the performance of an ATM LAN based on Fore Systems’ hardware. This was achieved by emulating...

While IP is declared as the key technology of the future’s wired and mobile communication, the currently used version of IP, IPv4 itself is not suitable to be used in mobile scenarios. Next generation mobile users require special support to provide connectivity, although they change their place of attachment to the network frequently. The task of mobility management is to provide this support, ...

Due to its topological generality and exibility, the k-ary n-cube architecture is actively researched exploring network design tradeoos as well as characterizing the topology. Processor allocation problem, which has been extensively attempted for hypercubes and meshes, however, has not been addressed for the k-ary n-cube parallel computers. 22]]23] are the only reported works but their schemes ...

Partial rearrangement of executing tasks has been proposed as a means of alleviating the fragmentation of free logic elements that occurs on space{shared run{time reconngurable FPGA systems. In this paper, we present and assess a new solution to this strategy. Local repacking of executing tasks aims to free suucient contiguous resources for the next waiting task so as to minimize allocation and...

Political discourse in the Norwegian welfare state is characterized by the ambition to establish and secure universal welfare. In comparative terms, it has been quite successful in translating utopian goals to practical politics. The modernization of Norway, more so than most other western countries, has nourished a shared sense of politics as a collective activity and as the privileged tool fo...

One of the major challenges for a wireless network design is the efficient authentication scheme. A mobile node (MN) attached to a WLAN and then moved into an area where the radio signal coverage from the access point (AP) does not exist. The mobile node may reconfigure itself into ad hoc mode and connect to this network. Before the mobile node using the resource, it must be verified whether le...

1 $EVWUDFW AQUILA, a joint European research project funded by EU, defines and implements a new Resource Control Layer (RCL) to enable dynamic end to end QoS provisioning in IP networks for QoS sensitive applications in a scalable and efficient way. The RCL controls the resource usage in an IP backbone that supports different transport services through the 'LIIHUHQWLDWHG 6HUYLFHV (DiffServ) app...

Decay studies of very neutron-deficient nuclei ranging from 39 Ti to 49 Ni have been performed during a projectile fragmentation experiment at the GANIL/LISE3 separator. 49 Ni, half-lives and decay spectra have been measured. In a few cases, γ coincidence measurements helped to successfully identify the initial and final states of transitions. In these cases, partial decay scheme are proposed. ...

International IP network tra c is evaluated for applications utilizing the TCP transport protocol. This evaluation is based on an analysis study performed in January 1992 across an infrastructural connection between Japan and the PACCOM network. This tra c measurement allows an examination of the current status of international information ow. Such analyses are a rst, and essential, step toward...

Political campaigning involves the intense usage of all possible media that the campaigners can afford to reach as many potential supporters as possible. Networked information technologies provide an endless source of applications and means of communication. When using computer technologies as a campaigning medium, it is essential to carefully assess the efforts concerning infrastructural and s...
