'Greedy' appliances to power one million homes
News The government also announced an initiative with retailers to take inefficient light bulbs off the shelves by 2011, claiming energy saving light bulbs can reduce lighting costs by up to £100 over the lifetime of the bulb. [14 Jul 2008]
Local Recovery Solutions From Multi-Link Failures in MPLS-TE Networks With Probable Failure Patterns
White Paper PFP's are characterized by their probability (or frequency) of occurrence during the network lifetime. MPLS TE Fast Reroute proposes a local protection mechanism to quickly reroute protected TE LSPs onto pre-computed and signaled bypass tunnels. [11 Jul 2008]
A Node-Centric Load Balancing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
White Paper By spreading the workload across a sensor network, load balancing reduces hot spots in the sensor network and increases the energy lifetime of the sensor network. A node-centric algorithm is designed that constructs a load-balanced tree in sensor... [10 Jul 2008]
