Experience With Integrating Java With New Technologies: C#, XML and Web Services
White Paper Java programmers cannot but be aware of the new initiative from Microsoft of a complete language, C#, network environment, .NET, and host of supporting technologies such as web services. Before moving all development to a Microsoft environment... [20 Jun 2007]
Experience in Integrating Java With C# and .NET
White Paper Java programmers cannot but be aware of the advent of C#, the .NET network environment, and a host of new supporting technologies, such as web services. Before taking the big step of moving all development to a new environment, programmers will... [20 Jun 2007]
Comparing Windows NT, Linux, and QNX as the Basis for Cluster Systems
White Paper Clusters use commodity hardware and software components to provide an environment for high performance parallel processing. A major issue in the development of a cluster system is the choice of the operating system that will run on each node. [19 Apr 2007]
An AGENDA for Testing Relational Database Applications
White Paper Database systems play an important role in nearly every modern organization, yet relatively little research effort has focused on how to test them. This paper discusses issues arising in testing database systems, presents an approach to testing... [14 Sep 2006]
Roaming and Service Management in Public Wireless Networks Using an Innovative Policy Management Architecture
White Paper Nowadays, public Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), commonly called hotspots, are being largely deployed by WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers) as a means of offering ubiquitous Internet access to their customers. [23 Aug 2006]
Monitoring and Controlling QoS Network Domains
White Paper Increased performance, fairness, and security remain important goals for service providers. In this paper the authors design an integrated distributed monitoring, traffic conditioning, and flow control system for higher performance and security of... [23 Aug 2006]
Active Resource Management for the Differentiated Services Environment
White Paper This paper presents a mechanism for Active Resource Management (ARM) in a differentiated services environment. While the differentiated services architecture and the bandwidth broker agent provide a mechanism for QoS management through resource... [23 Aug 2006]
Self-Aware Management of IP Networks With QoS Guarantees
White Paper Self-aware management allows the network to react and to adapt to changes of situation. In this paper an architecture is described for self-aware management of IP networks offering QoS guarantees. This architecture uses policy-based management and... [18 Aug 2006]
Providing and Verifying Advanced IP Services in Hierarchical DiffServ Networks - The Case of GEANT
White Paper The differentiated services (DiffServ) framework is widely proposed as an efficient method for providing advanced IP services to large-scale networks, with QoS requirements. However, the provisioning of such services in production networks has... [10 Aug 2006]
A Survey of QoS Enhancements for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN
White Paper Quality-of-Service (QoS) is a key problem of today's IP networks. In wireless environments, bandwidth is scarce and channel conditions are time-varying and sometimes highly lossy. Although IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) is the most widely used... [24 May 2006]
A Novel Compact Cable-Fed Antenna for a GSM/DCS Handset
White Paper By using a branch-line ground plane, a monopole radiator, and parasitic patches, a newly compact cable-fed antenna is investigated in order to overcome the thickness problem of the Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA). [12 May 2006]
Layered View of QoS Issues in IP-Based Mobile Wireless Networks
White Paper With the convergence of wireless communication and IP-based networking technologies, future IP-based wireless networks are expected to support real-time multimedia. IP services over wireless networks enhance the mobility and flexibility of... [10 May 2006]
Medium Access Control in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Challenges and Solutions
White Paper Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are useful in environment where fixed network infrastructure is unavailable. To function normally, MANETs demand an efficient and distributed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. [10 May 2006]
A Mobile Service Platform Using Proxy Technology
White Paper This paper proposes iMobile, a proxy-based platform for developing mobile services for various mobile devices and wireless access technologies.iMobile acts as a message gateway that allows mobile devices to relay messages to each other through... [10 May 2006]
Designing the GIS Database Schema
White Paper Database designers use the word schema to refer to the diagram and documents that lay out the structure of the database and the relationships that exist between elements of the database. A schema is like a blueprint for a database that tells a... [01 Sep 2005]
