The bandwidth broker architectures introduced to manage diffserv still have scalability flaws in the mean of large volumes of end-to-end tunnels and workload they have to handle. ...
The advent of Grid environments made feasible the solution of computational intensive problems in a reliable and cost-effective way. As workflow systems carry out more complex and...
Supporting telephone services using wireless LAN as the access network is an important application nowadays. The SIP and IEEE 802.11e are the two most promising protocols to suppo...
We address visual perception for personal service robotic systems in the home. We start by identifying the main functional modules and their relationships. This includes self-loca...
This paper presents a distributed scheduling algorithm for the support of QoS in multiaccess networks. Unlike most contention-based multiaccess protocols which o er no QoS guarant...
