Most of the initial efforts to utilize Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) have been related to environments hosting devices with a single switching capability. The complexity raised by the control of such data planes is similar to that seen in classical IP/MPLS networks. By extending MPLS to support multiple switching technologies, GMPLS provides a comprehensive framework for the control of a multi-layer...

this paper aims to assess the application of support vector machine (svm) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. to this end, 10000 four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

Multi-antenna systems allow for a significant increase in the transmission rate of coherent wireless transmissions over flat Rayleigh fading channels. Various multi-antenna designs have been developed in recent years targeting either high-performance, or, high rate. In this paper, we design a layered space-time (ST) scheme equipped with linear complex field (LCF) coding, which enables full dive...

Dynamic Graph Analytic Framework (DYGRAF) is a domain agnostic framework from which data alignment, data association, and layered multi-modal network analysis can be performed. Past installments of DYGRAF have been able to provide analytic insight for small and medium-sized data sets, however scalability becomes problematic as the amount of collected data increases. In this work, we discuss ext...

Evidence suggests that many organizations are finding it hard to implement a CRM strategy. This article reports on the research conducted over the last five years that explores how organizations can successfully develop a CRM strategy. We propose a multi-layered framework for mapping and understanding the interrelationships between complex variables relating to CRM strategy implementation. The ...

In the development of large and complex applications is difficult to satisfy unique customer requirements without stretching development time. The need to support adaptability of applications is growing because of dynamic business processes. We analyzed of the literature in this domain. The analysis has shown that combination of the existing paradigm of application development is a good approac...

What is the impact of genetics and genomics on issues of identity and what do we mean when we speak of identity? This paper explores how certain concepts of identity used in philosophy can be brought together in a multi-layered concept of identity. It discusses the concepts of numerical, qualitative, personal and genetic identity-over-time as well as two rival concepts of genomic identity-over-...

This paper puts forward a neuro-rough model which is a combination of a multi-layered perceptron and rough set theory. The model is formulated using Bayesian framework and trained using Monte Carlo method and Metropolis criterion. The model is then tested on an ante-natal dataset and is able to combine the accuracy of the multilayered perceptron model and the transparency of rough set model. Th...

In order to improve the quality of video transmission over wireless relay system, some of the studies using Network Coding (NC) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) have been studied. In this paper, layered video streaming using scalable video coding (SVC) based on prioritized network coding is investigated. We propose a novel network coding scheme (prioritizedNC) in order to improve the quality ...

We present a lazy version of multi-layered abstraction-based controller synthesis (ABCS) for continuoustime nonlinear dynamical systems against safety specifications. State-of-the-art multi-layered ABCS uses pre-computed finitestate abstractions of different coarseness. Our new algorithm improves this technique by computing transitions on-the-fly, and only when a particular region of the state ...
