In this paper, a method is proposed for network restoration using a centralized, static restoration after failure, where the restoration initiated at the local node or at the source using a hybrid strategy. The traditional approaches to network (re)routing are based on the heuristics that are prone to enter local minima. A new rerouting algorithm is proposed that attempts to identify the (near-...

The cooperative perception by an inter-vehicle network promises a multitude of improvements for advanced driver assistance systems. First, for the simultaneous estimation of the vehicle ego pose and the road network infrastructure, we propose a local, highly model-based fusion architecture for digital map and video information. Second, to extend the vehicle’s field of view, we include remote in...

This paper focuses on communication in personal area networks. A personal area networks (PAN) is characterized as an informal collection, or community, of connected small, lightweight, and resource-lean devices, or gadgets. Two basic concepts are visible in the development of PANs, the distributed and the centralized concept. The paper introduces a real-time communication protocol that is suita...

the proliferation of information and communications technology (ict) along with the incremental growth in the use of cloud services, enterprise network and data center technologies in recent years, have caused unprecedented expansion of computer networks. however, the existing network architecture was not well designed to meet the requirements of today's needs. one of the most important pr...

In the past, foreign borrowing by developing countries was comprised almost entirely of government borrowing. Recently, private firms and individuals in developing countries borrow substantially from foreign lenders. It is not clear whether the observed increase in private sector borrowing leads to overborrowing and frequent defaults by governments in developing countries. In this paper, we dev...

The use of wireless networking technologies has emerged over recent years in many application domains. The area of grids determines a potentially huge application domain, since the typical centralized computing centers require access from anywhere, e.g., from field engineers who are situated in a wireless network domain. Thus, the integration of suitable business views on mobile grids, of grid ...

In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

Multiparty conferencing is an important telephony service, provided in the PSTN by conference bridges. Internet telephony can enhance this basic service by video conferencing and collaborative work. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) can support many different conferencing architectures, including the centralized conferencing server model. We describe design issues and challenges in implemen...
