Modern high speed networks (and ATM networks in particular) use resource reservation as a basic means of establishing communications. One-way on-they reservation is a method for allocating resources for short bursts of data when regular reservation is too costly. The rst such algorithms were recently suggested by Turner. We investigate two examples that are characteristic to the way traac strea...

This paper investigates the performance of media access protocols based on on-line scheduling for an optically connected star-coupled system with Wavelength Division Multiple Access channels. Hybrid access protocols combining reservation and pre-allocation of receiver channels have been recently proposed. Transmission consisted of a reservation phase followed by a data phase. Each node was allo...

Demanding applications like distributed multi-physics simulations benefit from the combined computational performance and data storage of multiple clusters. A reservation mechanism spanning these clusters ensures the availability of all selected resources. Complex workflows with chronological dependencies are supported. This approach addresses network resources the same way as computation and s...

This paper studies the impact of resource reservation on the multi–path Quality–of–Service (QoS) routing schemes that use global network state to make routing decisions. Incorporating resource reservation into multi–path QoS routing algorithms greatly changes the communication characteristics in a network system and affects the performance of the routing algorithms. In this paper, we develop a ...

Parking in crowded urban areas is a precious resource that impacts driver stress levels, daily productivity, and the environment. A reservation system that enables individuals to buy parking spots prior to leaving their home would significantly ease these concerns. However, designing an infrastructure for guaranteed parking requires extensive sensor deployment and manpower, which is expensive a...

Media production networks require an e cient collaboration between geographically distributed actors and o er predictable workloads, making it possible to exploit this predictability and use advance bandwidth reservation services to achieve greater bandwidth utilization and service guarantees. To o er reliable reservations, the incorporation of fault-tolerance related features in bandwidth rese...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are being introduced by different manufacturers, thanks to their environment-friendly perspective alleviate CO 2 pollution. In this paper, the proposed EV charging management scheme enables pre-empted service for heterogeneous EVs (depends on capabilities, brands, etc.). ...
