RSS quantitativeArchitecture and Compiler Optimizations for Data Bandwidth Improvement in Configurable Processors
White Paper This paper first presents a quantitative analysis of the data bandwidth limitation in configurable processors, and then proposes a novel low-cost architectural extension and associated compilation techniques to address the problem. [11 Jul 2008]
An Exploration in MAS Scalability
White Paper Surprisingly though, while MAS infrastructure has received a fair amount of attention, the quantitative evaluation of infrastructure components has been lacking. Naming and capability-mediated services, such as Agent Name Services and middle agents... [11 Jul 2008]
Relation Between Willingness to Pay and Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth in Multiple-Priority Service
White Paper In this paper, the quantitative relation between the guaranteed minimum bandwidth and the willingness to pay is shown by the subjective experiment of streaming contents and by the questionnaire survey of the waiting time for download. [11 Jul 2008]
A Quantitative Comparison of Load Balancing Approaches in Distributed Object Computing Systems
White Paper This paper describe in detail three representative approaches, which are all practicable, and present a quantitative comparison using this experimental distributed object computing platform. Several load balancing schemes are recently proposed for... [10 Jul 2008]
On the Relation Between Bandwidth and Robustness of Indoor UWB Communication
White Paper This measure allows for an objective, quantitative analysis of the relation between small-scale fading and signal bandwidth. The paper focuses on the effect of small-scale fading on the throughput of communication systems that operate with... [10 Jul 2008]
Distributed Algorithms for Dynamic Bandwidth Provisioning in Communication Networks
White Paper This paper introduces a new service model that provides quantitative per-flow bandwidth guarantees, where users subscribe for a guaranteed rate; moreover, the network periodically individuates unused bandwidth and proposes short-term contracts... [08 Jul 2008]
On the Relation Between Bandwidth and Robustness of UWB Channel in Complex Confined Areas
White Paper The objective of this dissertation is to obtain a quantitative analysis of the relation between robusteness and signal bandwidth of the UWB channel propagation in underground mines. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication has been the subject of... [08 Jul 2008]
The Precaution of the Network Virus and the Quantitative Analysis of the Epidemic Situation
White Paper The quantitative analysis of broadband network virus epidemic situation is given, too. Comparing with the traditional host virus, the network virus has more attack ability and is more infectious in open network environment. [03 Jul 2008]
A Utility-Based Approach for Quantitative Adaptation in Wireless Packet Networks
White Paper This paper assesses the state-of-the-art in quality of service (QoS) adaptive wireless networks and proposes new adaptation techniques that better suit application specific needs. The contribution of the paper is as follows: we propose an adaptive... [03 Jul 2008]
Quantitative Ultra Shallow Dopant Profile Measurement by Scanning Capacitance Microscope
White Paper This paper compares scanning capacitance microscope (SCM) signals of an n-MOS transistor implanted with arsenic ions at an energy as low as 5 keV with a vertical secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profile of the same device. [03 Jul 2008]
Quantitative Methods - Principles of Function Points
White Paper Function points are a work-product measure, meaning that they quantify data processing work outputs. As the name implies, function points actually measure the amount of information processing function, in other words, the functionality of an... [03 Jul 2008]
Human Capital and Earnings Distribution Dynamics
White Paper Recent work in macroeconomics has explored the quantitative implications of dynamic models for the distribution of consumption, income and wealth. These models would appear to be attractive models for assessing the distributional effects of changes... [03 Jul 2008]
Sell It or Rent It?: Our Spreadsheet Can Help You Decide What to Do With a Former Residence
White Paper It is important to understand that there are qualitative as well as quantitative considerations to the decision. The spreadsheet will be most helpful in dealing with the quantitative factors, while the paper addresses a number of the qualitative... [03 Jul 2008]
Taking Care of Business - the Evolution from Frame Relay to IP VPNs
White Paper This 16 page document was written by TeleChoice, Inc.for Nortel Networks and looks at some of the qualitative and quantitative benefits of IP VPNs. While frame relay has been the work-horse technology for the enterprise community to date, IP VPNs... [03 Jul 2008]
The Effectiveness of Interactive Distance Education Technologies in K-12 Learning: A Meta-Analysis
