This paper presents the results of simulation and control experiments using a recently proposed method for real-time switching among a pool of controllers. The switching strategy selects the current controller based on neural network estimates of the future system performance for each controller. This neural-network-based switching controller has been implemented for a simulated inverted pendul...

For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...

Attention is called to previous research on realization of an arbitrary switching function by a network of threshold gates (or threshold elements) and modulo 2 gates (or parity elements), establishment of greatest lower bounds on the number of gates needed, artifices that lead to further network reduction in special cases, and systematic minimization of the number of module 2 gates required. Al...

Dynamic network reconfiguration is described as the process of replacing one routing function with another while the network keeps running. The main challenge is avoiding deadlock anomalies while keeping limitations on packet injection and forwarding minimal. Current approaches which have a high complexity and as a result have a limited practical applicability either require the existence of ex...

INTRODUCTION This book is about the performance evaluation of high-speed switching fabrics and networks. More simply, it concerns how the next generation of telecommunications technology can be designed, analyzed, and understood. But this idea requires some explanation. The roots of today's high-speed switching technology go back to the advent of the digital computer in the 1940s. For the first...

As the bit rates of routed data streams exceed the throughput of single wavelength-division multiplexing channels, spectral and spatial traffic aggregation become essential for optical network scaling. These aggregation techniques reduce network routing complexity by increasing spectral efficiency to decrease the number of fibers, and by increasing switching granularity to decrease the number o...

One of new applications on a new generation network (NwGN) is a contents centric network (CCN). The target of CCN is contents based networking. We enhanced a concept of CCN to machine-to-machine communications, streaming communications, and contents creation services within the network. This is called an enhanced-type data-centric network (E-DCN). To develop EDCN, orchestration between packet s...

MAGNET II is a testbed for integrated networks. It was designed and implemented based on requirements of real-time network management and control. Quality of service requirements explicitly appear in the design speci cations of the network on the media access level. Switching is based on the concept of Asynchronous Time Sharing. The core of the network distinguishes between three tra c classes....

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes white-opaque phenotypic switching, which enhances its adaptation to host niches. Switching is controlled by a transcriptional regulatory network of interlocking feedback loops acting on the transcription of WOR1, the master regulator of white-opaque switching, but regulation of the network on the translational level is not yet explored. Here,...
