This paper compares different approaches which provide guaranteed assurance to connection-oriented group communications based on the use of working and backup disjoint route sets. Specifically, we present experimental results showing the effect of disjoint backup route sets on mesh/tree/ring: (1) feasibility and (2) cost.

Development agencies are in a period of major refocusing. On the one hand, the information and communications technology revolution, globalisation and the rise of knowledge economies lead them to develop new knowledge management systems. On the other, commitments to partnership, greater inter-agency coordination and the emphasis on sectoral and cross-sectoral planning fundamentally reorient the...

In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of Multiword Expression (MWE) resources in the task of MWE recognition in text. We present results based on the Wiki50 corpus for MWE resources, generated using unsupervised methods from raw text and resources that are extracted using manual text markup and lexical resources. We show that resources acquired from manual annotation yield the best MWE taggi...

SIMO algorithms ensure important increasing of radio communications robustness, but their performances strongly depend on channel propagations conditions and antenna characteristics. This article presents performances of different SIMO treatments applied on WLAN (802.11b and 802.11g) transmissions in a multi-standard and multi-channel context. These performances are obtained by measure, under d...

We report the first demonstration of silica-based thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) working in the 1.65 – 1.7 μm waveband. Up to 29 dB small signal gain and noise figure as low as 6.5 dB are achieved. OCIS codes: (060.2320) Fiber optics amplifiers and oscillators; (060.2330) Fiber optics communications

Nowadays, enterprises cooperate more extensively with other enterprises during the entire product life cycle. Temporary alliances between various enterprises emerge such as those in Virtual Enterprises. Collaborative applications are demanded that enable enterprises to engage in such endeavors. This paper aims to present a framework with which collaborative applications can be characterized and...

The Virtual Company educational scenario engages students in a professional setting for working and learning. Students are enabled to develop competencies that are derived from professional practice. This allows us to use assessment strategies that are different from the practice in traditional educational settings. In the Virtual Company educational scenario the competence assessment procedure...

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...
