In this paper, an event network is presented for exploring open information, where linguistic units about an event are organized for analysing. The process is divided into three steps: document event detection, event network construction and event network analysis. First, by implementing event detection or tracking, documents are retrospectively (or on-line) organized into document events. Seco...

This article introduces the course Discrete Event Simulation – Modelling and Simulation of Computer Networks which was recently developed at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The course is developed as part of the Tempus IV project – Modernization of Master Program Networks and Communication. The course has become very popular at TUM since it provides students with a sophisticated theor...

In this paper we present a tool for the simulation of fluid models of high-speed telecommunication networks. The aim of such a simulator is to evaluate measures which can not be obtained through standard tools in reasonable time or through analytical approaches. We follow an event-driven approach in which events are associated with rate changes in fluid flows. We show that, under some loose res...
