Virtual channel reservation is a simple approach for providing guaranteed throughput services in a virtual channel network-on-chip. However, its performance is limited by the number of virtual channels per physical channels. In this paper we explore the limits of the approach and investigate how these limits depend on the routing algorithm, the traffic locality, the network topology and the net...

this study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. a theoretical framework is proposed based on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. there are four basic tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. subsequently, an exploratory case study in iranian food industry...

Online virtual worlds, including Second Life, are rapidly becoming recognized as an important new channel for marketing and brand-building. However, the nature of the channel and its consumers or users is likely to be quite different to other channels, including the Web. Consequently, this may have knock-on effects for traditional multi-channel brand management strategies. In an effort to under...

Accurate and tractable channel modeling is critical to realizing the full potential of antenna arrays in wireless communications. In this paper we propose a framework for modeling multi-antenna multipath channels based on the notion of virtual spatial angles. The virtual angles are fixed a priori and are determined by the number of antennas at the transmitter and receiver and the spacing betwee...

We have the privilege and the honour to welcome you all to the 5 IEEE IEEE International Workshop on Performance and Management of Wireless and Wired "on"Mobile Networks in Zurich, jointly with the LCN conference. Over the years, P2MNet has consolidated to become a major event in the performance evaluation of heterogeneous wireless and wired networks. Thus, let us first offer our special thanks...

This year, we received 142 full papers (8 pages) and 7 short papers (2 pages) submissions from 29 countries. We requested for three independent reviews for all papers using a single blind review process. Papers with new ideas were given preference to stimulate discussions during the conference. We selected 42 full papers for oral presentation. Three high quality papers were additionally accepte...

Modern SoC architectures use NoCs for high-speed inter-IP communication. For NoC architectures, highperformance efficient routing algorithms with low power consumption are essential for real-time applications. NoCs with mesh and torus interconnection topologies are now popular due to their simple structures. A torus NoC is very similar to the mesh NoC, but has rather smaller diameter. For a rou...

Asynchronous quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) NoCs have several advantages over their clocked counterparts. Virtual channel (VC) is the most utilized flow control method in asynchronous routers but spatial division multiplexing (SDM) achieves better throughput performance for best effort traffic than VC. A novel asynchronous SDM router architecture is presented. Area and latency models are provide...
