In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the performance modeling stochastic networks and statistical multiplexing second edition synthesis lectures on communication networks book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books. Mostly, it will relate to their necessity to get knowledge from the book and want to read just to get entert...

The Sonar Performance Prediction System (SPPS) will be introduced. The SPPS is an integrated ocean-acoustic propagation model coupled with a sonar performance prediction model. A stationary sea surveillance sonar consisting of a horizontally nested hydrophone array and a vertical transmitting/ receiving array may be used lo dctcct, localisc and track surface and subsurfacc contacts within its c...

One of the most important collective communication patterns used in scientific applications is the complete exchange, also called All-to-All. Although efficient algorithms have been studied for specific networks, general solutions like those available in well-known MPI distributions (e.g. the MPI Alltoall operation) are strongly influenced by the congestion of network resources. In this paper w...

According to the predictive results of query performance, queries can be rewritten to reduce time cost or rescheduled to the time when the resource is not in contention. As more large RDF datasets appear on the Web recently, predicting performance of SPARQL query processing is one major challenge in managing a large RDF dataset efficiently. In this paper, we focus on representing SPARQL queries...

The goal of IT governance is not only to achieve internal efficiency in an IT organization, but also to support IT’s role as a business enabler. The latter is here denoted IT governance performance, and cannot be controlled by IT management directly. Their realm of control includes IT governance maturity, indicated by e.g. different IT activities, documents, metrics and roles. Current IT govern...

A procedure is presented for simulating thesequential impoundment process of concrete-faced rockfilldam using nonlinear finite element method. The parametersof constitutive relationship of stress and strain aredetermined by tri-dimensional compression test inlaboratory. The model applied in this study adopts thetechnique of element birth and death to simulate thesequ...

The growing demand for quality and performance has become a discriminating factor in the field of software applications. Specifically in the area of web applications, performance has become a key factor for success creating the need for new types of performance evaluation models and methods capable of representing the dynamic characteristics of web environments. In this paper we will recall sem...

Many address lookup methods for use on IP routers to improve their packet-forwarding capability have been proposed. However, their performance prediction ability is poor because actual traffic characteristics are not considered in their evaluation processes. The actual traffic must be considered in order to predict router performance more accurately, especially for layer 3 and 4 address lookups...

This paper aims to explore the performance alignment in collaborative network environments. It has been stated that performance management based on data collection and the evaluation of key performance indicators (KPIs) may not be effective due to the different indicators and measurement systems in place for the various participants in a collaborative network (CN). Therefore, measuring the stra...

this study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a twenty20 match. based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. the developed measure is called ‘prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams dur...
