This paper develops a design framework toward the profitable operation of generic service overlay networks (SON) assuring inter-domain QoS. The building blocks of the framework, namely, the QoSbandwidth demand mapping and the topology optimization are elaborated in detail. Moreover, some preliminary results are presented to demonstrate the gains of using the developed framework.

The wider connectivity of WWW architectures is opening new rooms for agents technology. This results in increasing inter-operability, optimization and negotiation in inter e-business processes. We give here a short review of some efficient algorithms used in the framework of distributed constraint satisfaction (DisCSP). This formalism allows generic negotiations in multi-agents systems. We pres...

Modeling and analyzing inter-organizational business processes is complicated substantially by heterogeneous process-modeling languages (e.g., surface vs. analysis languages) as well as by their inherent properties of loose coupling and local control (views). On top, multiple concerns must be addressed when modeling interorganizational business processes, such as process data, behavior, distrib...

Background Granisetron is a first-generation 5-HT3-receptor antagonist that has shown efficacy in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). In this randomized double-blind parallel-group clinical trial, we assessed the efficacy of generic granisetron versus Kytril®, in the prevention of PONV in patients undergoing general anesthesia for gynaecological surgeries. Method One hundred an...

This paper evaluates an overhead introduced by components that build a framework for inter-ORB request level bridge. It shows that TypeCode processing complexity is the most innuential factor that determines eeciency of almost each generic bridge. This has been experimentally proved by evaluation of the components of the implemented half-bridge between Orbix 1.31 and IIOP domain.

this contrastive study, in the first place, examined the generic structure and, in the second place, explored the face theory proposed by arundale (2006) in 140 doctoral dissertation acknowledgments written by native speakers of persian (nsp) and native speakers of english (nse) in 7 disciplines representing soft sciences to find out what discourse genre components writers employ to articulate ...

This work describes a novel and simple modification of the current microarray format. It reduces the sample/reagent volume to 1 microl and the hybridization time to 500 s. Both 20mer and 80mer oligonucleotide probes and singly labeled 20mer and 80mer targets, representative of the T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia 1 (TAL1) gene, have been used to elucidate the performance of this hybridization ...

The aim of Para++ is to provide a user-level C++ interface to message passing libraries, by encapsulating the notions of processes and inter-processes communications into specificC++ objects and streams. Actually, this abstraction level allows to implement Para++ with any kind of message passing library. Para++’s main idea is to add new C++ io-streams allowing inter-tasks communications. These ...

â â â  â â  abstract: â  china and asean have been maintaining a relationship both cooperative and competitive in the textile trade. due to its labor intensive feature and high dependence on foreign trade , the textile trade has received much attention after the 2008 financial crisis. the customs data (classified by the hs code) from year 2006-2009 is employed to research the impact of the cris...

Current theoretical studies on mechanisms promoting species co-existence in diverse communities assume that species are fixed in their mating behavior. Each species is a discrete evolutionary unit, even though most empirical evidence indicates that inter-specific gene flow occurs in plant and animal groups. Here, in a data-driven meta-community model of species co-existence, we allow mating beh...
