Today’s information-centric networks (ICNs) represent a 100-year evolution of communication networks from circuit-switched networks to packet-switched networks to ICNs, sharing common features with both of these earlier network architectures, but having many unique characteristics of its own. We describe and survey ongoing research and identify challenges in the modeling, design and analysis of...

This paper proposes a new high-speed network architecture DBTN(Dynamic burst transfer time-slot-base network), which is based on circuit-switched network technology. A routing tag is attached to a burst at an ingress edge node and the burst is selfrouted in a DBTN network by creating a circuit dynamically. The routing tag, which is called time-slots-relay, is a series of link identifiers to the...

High-capacity optical transmission technologies have made possible very high data rates and a large number of wavelength channels. Further, optical network functionality has made progress from simple point-to-point WDM links to automatically switched optical networks. In the future, dynamic burst-switched and packet-switched photonic networks may be expected. This paper describes a novel archit...

As switched networks providing services to end users become more commonplace, integral components of these networks must have an increasing level of dependability. One area of interest is determining the optimal number of network servers required for a switched network application by taking into consideration the characteristics of the network tra c and failure rate of the servers. A stochastic...

Design of switched capacitor circuits in scaled CMOS technologies is becoming difficult because of low device intrinsic gain and reduced power supply voltage. To solve these problems, comparator-based switched-capacitor (CBSC) circuits and zero-crossing based circuits (ZCBC) were suggested as a possible solution to the op-amp based circuits. In this thesis, we explore zero-crossing based circui...

Different protection and restoration mechanism is the most important feature of automatic switched optical network (ASON). Through testing 1356NT, which is an optical network planning and design tool of Alcatel-Lucent Company, this paper analyzes the restoration time and proposes the application strategy of different circuits. It is significant for the plan and design of ASON. Keywords-automati...

This paper presents work on a switched Ethernet network extended to allow for periodic real-time traffic, using earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling. A scheme of asymmetrically dividing deadlines of real-time channels between the in and outgoing links to/from the switch is proposed (ADPS). The result of the simulations of setting up RT channels over a full-duplex switched Ethernet network i...

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent stability criterion of uncertain periodic switched recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays.When uncertain discrete-time recurrent neural network is a periodic system, it is expressed as switched neural network for the finite switching state. Based on the switched quadratic Lyapunov functional approach SQLF and freeweighting matrix ...
