Abskuct-The Internet has been a startling and dramatic success. Originally designed to link together a small group of researchers, the Internet is now used by many millions of people. However, multimedia applications, with their novel traffic characteristics and service requirements, pose an interesting challenge to the technical foundations of the Internet. In this paper we address some of the...

The idea of assigning effective properties to an inhomogeneous medium, for example a composite material or a suspension of particles in fluid, is well known [4, 9, 14], but some methods used to calculate these effective properties have been sources of controversy over the years. In particular, the appearance of non-convergent integrals (or sums) in several calculational schemes has generated ma...

This demo proposal describes an autonomic management solution based on the recently defined programmable node architecture NetServ.

Overlay applications generate huge amounts of traffic in the Internet, which determines a problem for Internet Service Providers, since it results in high charges for inter-domain traffic. Traditional traffic management techniques cannot deal successfully with overlay traffic. An incentive-based approach that employs economic concepts and mechanisms is required in order to deal with the overlay...

Every subject is said to have both an inside and an outside. Its outside has to do with the relationships between the subject and matters external to it; while its inside is concerned with the subject's own internal dynamics. My talk concerns the dynamics of information in today's institutions with specific reference to the problems of command and control. Thus I shall leave questions concerned...

This is a particularly difficult period for Americans, as we struggle with internal economic and fiscal challenges even as we continue to take stock of our place in the post-9/11 world. But take stock we must. And as we do so, one of the most elusive challenges that we face is coming to terms with the cultural dimension of our encounter with the Muslim world. Even now, as we skirmish over issue...

In the last 5000 years, global mean sea level has been dominated by the redistribution of water masses over the globe. In the last 300 years, sea level has been oscillation close to the present with peak rates in the period 1890–1930. Between 1930 and 1950, sea fell. The late 20th century lack any sign of acceleration. Satellite altimetry indicates virtually no changes in the last decade. There...

In this paper, we investigate and model interactions and incentives between competing ISPs employing different pricing strategies (dynamic congestion-based pricing vs. volume pricing). We focus here on a scenario where all users are considered to be multihomed. Keywordsmultihoming; pricing; congestion marks; future Internet

Cities nowadays face complex challenges to meet objectives regarding socio-economic development and quality of life. The concept of “smart cities” is a response to these challenges. This paper explores “smart cities” as environments of open and user-driven innovation for experimenting and validating Future Internet-enabled services. Based on an analysis of the current landscape of smart city pi...
