flow
Editor's Blog: Back to the future
Comment Once I had climbed down into the sewer I found the flow - and I think you know what that is made up of - was about knee high, though it can rise to six feet. Never let it be said that we at silicon.com don't go to extremes to get you the best stories. [24 Jul 2008]
Yahoo! profits dip - yet claims 'strong' Q2
News Revenue was $1.8bn, and "operating cash flow on a normalized basis [was] $449m". Yahoo! s earnings for its second quarter came in one cent lower than expectations, with net income declining 19 per cent, but the company called the quarter "strong". [23 Jul 2008]
Photos: Broadband in London's Victorian sewers
Photo The sewer flow is about knee height, though it can go much higher. silicon.com took a trip out to the east end of London, to the Thames Water depot near Stratford, for a rare trip down inside London's Victorian sewer network to see a much more high... [22 Jul 2008]
VFMAs, Virtual-Flow Multipath Algorithms for MPLS
White Paper The virtual-flow multipath routing problem is formulated as a MultiCommodity Network Flow (MCNF) problem, and is solved by implementing on-line the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition method, which is proven to converge to the optimal solution through an... [18 Jul 2008]
FileVision Document Management Helps Access Consulting Go With the Flow From One Cost-Segregation Study to the Next
White Paper Access Consulting handles everything from project management of commercial and residential facilities to cost-segregation and feasibility studies that help small to large companies take advantage of immediate tax write-offs on disposable assets... [18 Jul 2008]
Simulation of an Advanced QoS Protocol for Mass Content
White Paper It provides a solution to guaranteeing certain flows that are forwarded along one or more congested links, by making others (typically the latest flow, or another flow selected because of policy reasons), the subject of focused packet discards. [18 Jul 2008]
Fairness and QoS in Multihop Wireless Networks
White Paper In contrast, the scheme that provides fairness requires per-flow (i.e.network-layer flow) queuing. In multihop wireless networks, fair allocation of bandwidth among different nodes is one of the critical problems that affects the serviceability of... [18 Jul 2008]
Techniques to Address Attention Fatigue and Info-Stress in the Too-Much-Information Age
White Paper The flow of messages and content faced by information workers is increasing but their attention spans remain fixed and limited. Each beneficial new communication and collaboration technology brings along the burden of one more channel that... [18 Jul 2008]
On the Throughput-Cost Tradeoff of Multi-Tiered Optical Network Architectures
White Paper This paper conducts a throughput-cost study of several optical network architectures: Optical Flow Switching (OFS), Tell-and-Go (TaG), Electronic Packet Switching (EPS), and Generalized MultiProtocol Label Switching (GMPLS). [18 Jul 2008]
On the Capacity of Optical Networks: A Framework for Comparing Different Transport Architectures
White Paper This paper compares three optical transport network architectures: Optical Packet Switching (OPS), Optical Flow Switching (OFS), and Optical Burst Switching (OBS). This comparison is based on a notion of network capacity as the set of exogenous... [18 Jul 2008]
Building Blocks for Mobile Free-Space-Optical Networks
White Paper To ensure uninterrupted data flow, auto-aligning transmitter and receiver modules are necessary. Existence of Line Of Sight (LOS) and alignment between the communicating antennas are one of the key requirements for Free-Space-Optical (FSO... [18 Jul 2008]
AC Algorithms in AQUILA QoS IP Network
White Paper Moreover, this method is supported by the declarations about the peak bit rate as well as by the measurements of mean bit rate on aggregate flow level. This paper presents the Admission Control (AC) algorithms that are implemented in the prototype... [18 Jul 2008]
Implicit Flow QoS Signaling Using Semantic-Rich Context Tags
White Paper An important feature of future context-aware and adaptive networks would be the ability to provide QoS to user flows. The approach enables end-hosts and other devices to expose and provide context information to the network to support underlying... [17 Jul 2008]
A Study on Using Network Flows in Hierarchical QoS Routing
White Paper This paper proposes a new state aggregation technique based on "Network-flow". QoS routing is the process of routing a connection based on the connection's resource requirements. The overhead involved in QoS routing increases with the network size. [17 Jul 2008]
A Quality-of-Service Architecture for High-Performance Numerical Components
White Paper The paper discusses the use of the architecture and quality metrics in the context of a driven cavity flow simulation, which has been shown to benefit from adaptive solution techniques that could be derived from a QoS architecture. [17 Jul 2008]
