Many researchers have explored enhancements of the Internet s best e ort service model that allow real time and other inelastic applications to obtain preferential Quality of Service However these applications are limited to utilizing the opportunistic shortest path routes pro vided by the current routing infrastructure To better support real time applications this paper introduces extensions t...

This research used a custom event-driven network simulator to evaluate Alternate Path Routing’s (APR’s) behavior in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). In particular, it investigated how much route-diversity is inherent in typical ad-hoc networks, and the ability of a globally reactive routing-protocol (such as the Zone Routing Protocol) to capture and utilize that route diversity. It then explore...

The respiration of fresh potato (Solanum tuberosum, var. Russet Burbank) slices is predominantly cyanide-sensitive whether in the presence or absence of uncoupler. By contrast, the wound-induced respiration which develops in thin slices with aging is cyanide-resistant, and in the presence of cyanide, sensitive to chlorobenzhydroxamic acid, a selective inhibitor of the cyanide-resistant respirat...

A new adaptive RWA (Routing and Wavelength Assignment) algorithm is proposed, which may be used in photonic networks with no wavelength conversion. The problem we address is how to increase the utilization of WDM network resources by taking account of future demand efficiently. In the proposed method, blocking probability is minimized by taking account of future path establishment, using a meth...

The Distributed Version Storage Server (DVSS) provides an underlying storage mechsniim for a CAD-oriented data model. DVSS supports such project management features as version histories. alternate data versions, and multi-reader multi-writer access control in a heterogeneous network of workstations and fileservers. Each design object is managed as a rooted directed acyclic graph @AG) of version...

In this paper, a new algorithm to route traffic efficiently is proposed. The proposed algorithm finds additional routes to the destination and identifies the critical links in the network that are responsible for congestion The traffic in the network is routed through the paths that have no or least number of critical links. This avoids congestion in the critical links and increases the perform...

In the next generation Internet, the network should not only be considered as a communication medium, but also as an endless source of services available to the end-systems. These services (i.e. Overlay Applications) would be composed of multiple cooperative distributed software elements that dynamically build an ad hoc communication mesh (i.e. an Overlay Association). In this paper we propose ...

the task of balancing of assembly lines is well-known in mass production system but this problem is np-hard even for the simple straight line. therefore, utilizing heuristic methods for these problems is totally unquestionable. furthermore, in line with balancing problems, heuristic methods are the foundation of the metaheuristic methods, thus it seems to be necessary to use more efficient heur...
