Inventory Service Level Agreements as Coordination Mechanisms: The Effect of Review Periods
White Paper This kind of service level agreement is an important, but under-studied coordination mechanism. A supplier stocking goods for delivery to a retailer may face a finite-horizon service-level agreement. In this context, the... [04 Aug 2006]
Multi-User, 10 Gb/s Spectrally Phase Coded O-CDMA System With Hybrid Chip and Slot-Level Timing Coordination
White Paper This paper demonstrates a multi-user, 10Gb/s spectrally phase coded O-CDMA system with hybrid chip and slot-level timing coordination utilizing low power nonlinear processing. A new double Hadamard coding scheme is... [16 Jun 2006]
Schedulable Regions and Equilibrium Cost for Multipath Flow Control: The Benefits of Coordination
In other words, coordination can strictly increase the schedulable region that is the set of demand vectors for which the system is stable. The paper also shows that, even when uncoordinated multipath routing stabilises... [09 Jun 2007]
Adaptive Access Control in Coordination-Based Mobile Agent Systems
White Paper The increased pervasiveness of mobile devices like cell phones, PDAs, and laptops draws attention to the need for coordination among these networked devices. The openness of these environments also requires users to... [31 Aug 2007]
