Design of universal personal computing using SDL

Universal Personal Computing (UPC) is a novel concept to support nomadic computing on the Internet. UPC enables mobile users to access their personalized computing environment anywhere on the Internet using any available terminals. The system is modeled as distributed objects using CORBA to facilitate their distribution, interfacing, and integration. We have chosen SDL for our system design. Th...

Signature-based method for run-time fault detection in communication protocols

IPv6 over ATM flow-handling

This paper explores the ways to obtain high capacity allocation in the backbone network. IPv6 offers new possibilities for IP over ATM signalling.

The impact of routing on multicast error recovery

We investigate the relationship between multicast routing algorithms and reliable multicast communication. To capture the impact of the multicast tree topology onto reliable multicast, we consider two performance measures, namely the probability mass function of successful receptions and the expected number of retransmissions needed to successfully deliver a packet from the source to all receiv...

A new distributed routing algorithm for supporting delay-sensitive applications

We propose a new distributed delay-constrained unicast routing algorithm which can always nd a delay-constrained path with small message complexity if such a path exists. At each network node, limited information about the network state is needed and only a small amount of computation is required. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has much better cost performance than the leas...
