In recent years, the research on adaptive radar waveform design has received great impetus. Some of the noteworthy works in this area include [1]—[5], where the radar transmission parameters are continuously modified in order to improve the target parameter estimation in a time-varying radar environment. Another related development is the proposal of cognitive radar, which represents an innovat...

The Internet is a complex mesh of networks that use a common suite (TCP/IP) of networking protocols. A key feature of the Internet is that all of these constituent networks are interconnected, thereby providing system wide communication. The magnitude and pattern of the ow of routing information directly represents the con-nectivity stability of the Internet. The NSFNET backbone network provide...
