In this poster we present the FAIR-IMPACT project, “Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC”, which is funded by European Commission Horizon Europe programme. The acronym stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. project coordinated DANS supported 27 additional partners from 11 countries. will build on successful practices, policies, tools technical specifications arising FAIRsF...

Weak fairness guarantees that continuously enabled actions are executed infinitely often. Strong fairness, on the other hand, guarantees that actions that are enabled infinitely often (but not necessarily continuously) are executed infinitely often. In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for scheduling actions for execution. Assuming weak fairness for the execution of this algorithm,...

We present a method for providing response-time guarantees for multimedia traffic in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The method extends our ResponseTime Analysis (RTA) for ATM networks to better capture the behaviour of MPEG-type multimedia traffic. RTA is intended for admission control of hard real-time traffic, i.e., it determines if a new connection can be admitted without violati...

—This paper presents a new rate based call gapping method. The main advantage is that it provides maximal through-put, priority handling and fairness for traffic classes without queues, unlike Token Bucket which provides only the first two or Weighted Fair Queuing that uses queues. The Token Bucket is used for call gapping because it has good throughput characteristics. For this reason we prese...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to evaluate the level of knowledge of diabetes among the Thai general population, identify areas of deficiency for targeted health education effort, and identify respondent characteristics that may be associated with knowledge of diabetes. METHODS A survey involving 1000 respondents (age > or = 15 years) was conducted in the central region of Thail...

We explain why and how a crossbar switch with weighted fair queues (a deterministic device) converges to weighted max-min fair rates of service. Based on a plausible technical hypothesis we prove that a small mean number of buffers suffices to this end. WMMF-rates comprise the unique Nash equilibrium of a natural switching game—a fact that supports further their use.

We study the packet dispersion phenomenon that a traffic flow experiences when it passes through a router. We show that when there are competing flows and the router schedules packets first-come-first-served (FCFS), the dispersion is not described well by the bottleneck spacing effect. We therefore introduce the term FCFS-spacing effect. We also show that for a router implementing weighted fair...
