In this paper we study the Optical Burst Switching (OBS) paradigm for the support of the TCP flows in an All Optical Network (AON). We analyze the TCP send rate, i.e. the amount of...
The current Internet infrastructure has very few built-in protection mechanisms and is therefore vulnerable to attacks and failures. In particular, recent events have illustrated ...

We present a genetic algorithm for heuristically solving a cost minimization problem applied to communication networks with threshold based discounting. The network model assumes t...
In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (buffer overflow) probabilities in queueing networks using importance sampling. Unlike previously pr...
Distributed cognition of dynamic processes is commonly observed in mobile groups of animates like schools of fish, hunting lions, or in human teams for sports or military maneuvers...
