The Automated Network Games Enhancement Layer (ANGEL) project aims to leverage machine learning techniques to automate the classification and isolation of interactive (e.g. games, voice over IP) and noninteractive (e.g. web) traffic. This information is then used to dynamically reconfigure the network to improve the Quality of Service provided to the current interactive traffic flows and subseq...

The dominant view of the phylogeny of living elasmobranchs, based on morphological characters, is that batoids (skates and rays) are derived sharks, joined with saw sharks, and angel sharks in the clade Hypnosqualea [S.
