This memo describes an extension to the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP). Specifically, it extends the TWAMP-Test protocol, which identifies and manages packet trains, in order to measure capacity metrics like the available path capacity, tight section capacity, and UDP delivery rate in the forward and reverse path directions.

Medion is not a product manufacturer. Rather, it is a service provider offering retail partners the right product at the right time at an attractive price so they can pass good value for money on to their customers. Medion supervises and manages the entire value chain, from the initial product idea right through to after-sales services.

We report on on-going work to derive translations of phrases from parallel corpora. We describe an unsupervised and knowledge-free greedy-style process relying on innovative strategies for choosing and discarding candidate translations. This process manages to acquire multiple translations combining phrases of equal or different sizes. The preliminary evaluation performed confirms both its pote...

This demonstration concerns system development methodologies and their supporting CASE products. The Object–Process Methodology (OPM) integrates system structure and behavior within one model and manages complexity through a scaling mechanism that controls the visibility of things in the system. The demonstration presented OPM principles and it application through OPCAT — Object–Process CASE To...

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) manages the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory, supporting space-based research that seeks to improve life on Earth. The National Laboratory is now open for use by the broad scientific community--and CASIS is the gateway to this powerful in-orbit research platform.

Media planning consists of (1) establishing a desired market; (2) finding media (in particular, periodicals and television shows) which reach that market; and (3) allocating advertising funds to these media. This paper discusses the design, implementation and operation of an interactive, terminal -based computer system which manages a large data base and provides models that aid the advertising...

Total Channel ControlTM is a patented automation design for large scale open canal irrigation networks that manages water distribution within capacity constraints to achieve on-demand water delivery whilst maximizing water distribution. Here it is shown that this decentralized and distributed control implementation realizes near globally optimal performance. Furthermore, the performance enhance...

The plethora and variance of learning resources embedded in modern web-based learning environments require a mechanism to enable their structured administration. This goal can be achieved by defining metadata on them and constructing a system that manages the metadata in the context of the learning environment. Both activities have to meet certain standards.

This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) ’cablelabs’ for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) used to identify resources published by Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs). CableLabs specifies and manages resources that utilize this URN identification model. Management activities for these and other resource types are handled by the manager of the CableLabs’ Assigned Names and ...

A factor has been purified that specifically facilitates RNA chain elongation in a chromatin context; the properties of this factor help to define the challenges that lie ahead in understanding how RNA polymerase manages to transcribe DNA that is packaged into chromatin.
