In this paper we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a programmable architecture for profiling, composing and deploying handoff services. We argue that future wireless access networks should be built on a foundation of open programmable networking allowing for the dynamic deployment and management of new mobile and wireless services. Customizing handoff control and mobility ma...

Females frequently score higher on standard tests of empathy, social sensitivity, and emotion recognition than do males. It remains to be clarified, however, whether these gender differences are associated with gender specific neural mechanisms of emotional social cognition. We investigated gender differences in an emotion attribution task using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Subjects e...

This paper proposes a new approach for providing different levels of QoS in IP networks over MPLS. The system’s operator wishes to maximize the throughput of the high priority flows by choosing the less congested paths while taking care of the applications’ requirements. These requirements give rise to an optimization problem that consists of finding resource-constrained shortest paths in a dir...

InfiniBand is a new standard for communication between processing nodes and I/O devices as well as for interprocessor communication. The InfiniBand Architecture (IBA) supports distributed routing. However, routing in IBA is deterministic because forwarding tables store a single output port per destination ID. This prevents packets from using alternative paths when the requested output port is b...
