The mission of the Utah Cancer Action Network is to reduce cancer incidence and mortality in Utah. Established in 2003, the network selected skin and colon cancers as the first priorities in its comprehensive plan. In its first year of operation, the network planned and implemented a cancer awareness campaign that was organized along two tracks: 1) marketing research, consisting of two telephon...

This essay marks the occasion of my fourth trip to Boulder to participate in one of Phil Weiser’s justly celebrated conferences on the state of the telecommunications industry. I’m happy to report that all is well in the industry for lawyers, because the same basic arguments rage on in all the usual forums and show little sign of abating. All is well for academic commentators too, because the a...

Internet telephony is receiving increasing interest as an alternative to traditional telephone networks. This article shows how the IETF’s Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) can be used to perform the services of traditional Intelligent Network protocols, as well as additional services.

The “EOIP; Every Thing Over IP“ networks are widely replacing today’s different pillar networks in to the single converged network for Telephony(Any type of Access i.e. Mobile or Fixed Line) and data. Definitely new services will be expected in the NGN / EOIP such as broadcast media transmission and video on demand. But one major issues are always from past so many years are associated with Int...

Real-time network traffic management is becoming more and more crucial in Telecommunications. In this paper, we propose a modular system based on neural networks, designed to help the operator for performing diagnosis at different levels of the network. In particular, we focus on local alarm generation at the secondary transit centres of a telephone network. We finally consider some future exte...

The majority of communications applications, from cellular telephone conversations to credit card transactions, assume the availability of a reliable network. At this level, data are expected to traverse the network and to arrive intact at their destination. The physical systems that compose a network, on the other hand, are subjected to a wide range of problems, ranging from signal distortion ...

Real-time network traffic management is becoming more and more crucial in Telecommunications. In this paper, we propose a modular system based on neural networks, designed as an aid to the operator, for performing diagnosis at different levels of the network. In particular, we focus on the local diagnosis problem e.g. at the secondary transit centres of a telephone network. Statistical and neur...

Chang et al. showed that the number of middle switches required forWSNB under strategies: save the unused, packing, minimum index, cyclic dynamic, and cyclic static, for the 3-stage Clos network C(n,m, r) with r 3 is the same as required for SNB. In this paper, we prove the same conclusion for the multi-logd N network. We also extend our results, except for the minimum index strategy, to a gene...
