Automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes are effective to recover non-real-time data corrupted by channel errors, but their use with real-time traffic is seldom considered because p...
Integration of different radio access networks will become a reality in a near future. Our interworking architecture assumes a ubiquitous primary network (the cellular one) and se...
Learning Object repositories play a key role in the vision of reusable learning contents and learning designs, serving as providers for learning-oriented artefacts. Nevertheless, ...
This paper presents an evaluation of partial and intermittent (PI) resource support on JXTA and proposes a new MANET rendezvous service, optimized for handling PI resources. JXTA ...

Due to the increasing use of service level agreements for the provisioning of IT services, providers have to ensure that the guarantees for the quality of their offered services, ...
Programming on the Web enlights some classical problems encountered on large distributed applications with a particular emphasis on dynamic changes. In that context, we are intere...
PlanetLab has significantly lowered the barriers to deploying overlays. This paper describes how to lower them further by introducing a general data plane for overlay networks. R...
The choice of the scheduling algorithm is a major design criteria of a switch. Whereas it is known that maximum weight matching algorithms guarantee the stability of an input queu...
This paper defines a new layered architecture for supporting optical burst switching in an optical core network. The architecture takes into account both the control plane as well...
