A new algorithm for path selection in Automatically Switched Optical Networks is presented and demonstrated. This algorithm is based upon Eye Closure Penalty and involves a simple modification of the current OSPF protocol. ASON, path selection, OSPF, Eye Closure Penalty

The Bomhuetter/Fergnason loss reserving method consists of selecting a development pattern and, for each accident year, an initial ultimate loss ratio. From these, the reserve estimate is derived. In this paper, the usual way to obtain the development pattern from the cl~in ladder link ratios is criticized because it assumes a multiplicat~ve connection between past and future loss amounts where...

We present a connectionist model of false memories called the Associative Self-Organizing Network (ASON) model. Four mechanisms underlying the Constructive Memory Framework (CMF) guide the design of the ASON model, a connectionist operationalisation of the CMF. Simulation studies of experiments in the DRM paradigm reveal the ASON model to exhibit false memories. In addition, the effects of Mean...
