We re-examine the literature on mobile termination in the presence of network externalities. Externalities arise when firms discriminate between onand off-net calls or when subscription demand is elastic. This literature predicts that profit decreases and consumer surplus increases in termination charge in a neighborhood of termination cost. This creates a puzzle since in reality we see regulat...

JRoute is a set of Java classes that provide an application programming interface (API) for routing of Xilinx FPGA devices. The interface allows various levels of control from connecting two routing resources to automated routing of a net with fanout. This API also handles ports, which are useful when designing object oriented macro circuits or cores. Each core can define its own ports, which c...

We consider connecting networks in which we allow existing calls to be rearranged (rerouted) to accommodate a new call. This capability exists, for example, in the network of the recently proposed automatic main distribution frame [2,3,4] (where the need for switching live calls does not arise). For pract~cal reasons, we are particularly interested in networks in which we allow a fixed small nu...

Present concurrent languages do not support any form of analysis of the communication structure of programs. To support high level speciication and analysis of distributed systems, we propose two new constructs-handshake and unit. The handshake construct is a remote procedure call generalized for multiple parties. The unit construct restricts the possible calls to various handshake procedures, ...

We propose an auxiliary strategy, called per-user forwarding, for locating users who move from place to place while using Personal Communications Services (PCS). The forwarding strategy augments the basic location strategy proposed in existing standards such as GSM and IS-41, with the objective of reducing network signalling and database loads in exchange for increased CPU processing and memory...

We propose an auxiliary strategy, called per-user caching, for locating users who move from place to place while using Personal Communications Services (PCS). The caching strategy augments the basic location strategy proposed in existing standards such as GSM and IS-41, with the objective of reducing network signaling and database loads in exchange for increased CPU processing and memory costs....
