The search for and correction of errors in software are often time consuming and expensive components of the total cost of software development. The current research investigates ...
This paper studies the system parameters that affect the total cost of managing the multicast group on a router. A Petri net model is first proposed to describe the states and t...
In Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) networks, the mobility anchor point (MAP) is introduced to localize binding update messages destined to the home agent. In a large-scale wirel...
We consider the total cost of cutting down a random rooted tree chosen from a family of so-called very simple trees (which include ordered trees, d-ary trees, and Cayley trees); th...
The location of facilities in order to provide service for customers is a well-studied problem in the operations research literature. In the basic model, there is a predefined cos...
The cost and complexity of administration of large systems has come to dominate their total cost of ownership. Stateless and soft-state components, such as Web servers or network ...
All resources need to be managed to realize opportunities. Isolating the benefits of Information Technology and relating them to the associated costs has proved elusive and threat...
