Abstract--To ensure state synchronization of signalling operations, many signaling protocol designs choose to establish "soft" state that expires if it is not refreshed. ...
In multi-user networked virtual environments such as Second Life, 3D streaming techniques have been used to progressively download and render 3D objects and terrain, so that a ful...
Flexbility and deployment simplicity are among the numerous advantages of wireless links when compared to standard wired communications. However, challenges do remain high for wire...
Abstract The significant overhead related to frequent location updates from moving objects often results in poor performance. As most of the location updates do not affect the quer...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
