This paper presents a technique for providing collision avoidance of arbitrary objects in a computer graphics system. The recursive algorithm implements the method of avoiding the collisions by taking an alternate path and therefore among the available alternate paths, the shortest one is chosen. Under the cluttered environment, maneuvering among the static and moving obstacles is the biggest h...

It is a common misconception that game-based learning is, by its very nature, engaging for the majority of learners. This is not necessarily the case, particularly for learners in Higher Education who may need to be persuaded of the value of learning games. For some learners, games may simply not be perceived as engaging–either in terms of an initial motivation to play or sustained participatio...

The Internet provides physical path diversity between a large number of hosts, making it possible for networks to use alternative paths when one path fails to deliver the required Quality of Service. However, for various reasons, many established protocols (e.g. de facto Internet inter-domain routing protocol, Border-Gateway Protocol BGP) do not fully exploit such alternate paths. This paper su...

series of spectacular wells recently completed using alternate path (shunt) apparatus and procedures indicates that the technology has come of age and provides major advantages in many situations. The days of production limited by sand control measures appear to be over. Recent improvements in alternate path technology have eliminated most of the problems causing reduced productivity. Long-inte...

In recent years, on-demand routing protocols have attained more attention in mobile ad hoc networks as compared to other routing schemes due to their abilities and efficiency. There exist many ondemand routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETS). Most of the protocols, however, use a single route and do not utilize multiple alternate paths. Multi path routing allows the establishment ...

In diesem Beitrag wird ein Programm zur effektiven Sicherheitssensibilisierung im Unternehmen entwickelt. Schwerpunkte des Programms liegen auf Bedrohungsszenarien, der Form eines ‚Alternate Reality Game‘ zur Wissensvermittlung und messbaren Erfolgsgrößen. Mithilfe des Programms soll eine dauerhafte Verhaltensänderung erreicht werden.

Routing policies used in the Internet can be restrictive, limiting communication between source-destination pairs to one path, when often better alternatives exist. To avoid route flapping, recovery mechanisms may be dampened, making adaptation slow. Unstructured overlays have been proposed to mitigate the issues of path and performance failures in the Internet by routing through an indirect-pa...

progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. the current progressive collapse analyses and design methods in guidelines and codes focus on the alternate load path method. this method is suitable especially in the case of blast-induced progressive ...

This paper studies the performance of multi-homed transport protocols tolerant of network failure. It evaluates the performance of different retransmission policies combined with path failure detection thresholds, infinite or finite receive buffers for various path bandwidths, delays and loss rate conditions through SCTP simulation. The results show that retransmission policies perform differen...
