C u r rently the IP version 4 (IPv4) header includes a field called “Type of Service” (TO S ) intended to indicate the quality of service (QOS) Internet packets should receive. QOS, a m e a s u rement for Internet traffic, quantifies d e l a y, throughput, and reliability that an Internet packet or packet stream is re c e i v i n g . D i ff e rent kinds of Internet traffic re q u i re d i fferi...

Until recently the World Wide Web (WWW) and associated browser technologies have provided no support for the delivery of continuous media in real time.

BACKGROUND There have been over 430 publications using the RE-AIM model for planning and evaluation of health programs and policies, as well as numerous applications of the model in grant proposals and national programs. Full use of the model includes use of qualitative methods to understand why and how results were obtained on different RE-AIM dimensions, however, recent reviews have revealed ...

The ability to represent stakeholders’ goals and their operationalizations, through tasks, resources, system requirements and specifications, helps better ensure that the projected system meets its intended goals. To offer such an ability, various notations have been developed, but somewhat independently of each other, each for its own concepts and with its own tool. As a result, it is difficul...

To obtain repeatable results in modern networks, test descriptions need an expanded stream parameter framework that also augments aspects specified as Type-P for test packets. This memo proposes to update the IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Framework with advanced considerations for measurement methodology and testing. The existing framework mostly assumes deterministic connectivity, and that a s...

The following activity recognition problem is considered: a description of the action capabilities of an agent being observed is given. This includes the preconditions and effects of atomic actions and of the activities (sequences of actions) the agent may execute. Given this description and a set of propositions, called history, about action occurrences, intended actions and properties of the ...
