This paper presents the INTERMON dynamic monitoring architecture for spatio-temporal QoS and traffic mapping in inter-domain environment considering inter-domain routing (BGP-4 protocol) behaviour. The monitoring architecture is based on the collection of different types of time series data: QoS parameter time series data ,border router traffic data and BGP-4

Unexpected events in hierarchical production planning, such as rush orders, labor problems, lack of availability of materials and faulty machines have to be managed efficiently because they represent a risk for business continuity, based on their impact and duration. The use of inter-enterprise architecture offers multiple benefits for collaborative networks, including: business strategy and in...

Great Zimbabwe was the centre of an ancient Shona state from AD 1200 to 1700. It is known for its magnificent architecture and involvement in long-distance (inter-continental) local (inter-regi...

This paper deals with an autonomous cognitive network management architecture which aims at achieving inter-network (horizontal) and inter-layer (vertical) crossoptimization. The proposed architecture is based on the so-called Cognitive Managers transparently embedded in properly selected network nodes. The core of each Cognitive Manager are the so-called thinking modules, which are in charge o...

Inter-datacenter networks (Inter-DCNs) and Intra-datacenter networks (Intra-DCNs) are entirely different in communication scales, architecture topologies and sizes, and characteristics of traffic flows. An Inter-DCN is built upon the existing Internet backbone with a fixed mesh topology and is hence difficult to accommodate any physical update or change without significant human intervention. S...

This paper examines the problem of building scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems from collections of communicating process groups while maintaining well-deened end-to-end delivery semantics. Our approach to inter-group communication takes advantage of modular group composition. We introduce a generic model which provides a distinction between intra-group and inter-group communication, a...
