Since recent work shows that there exists long-term correlation in traac of both local and wide area networks, not only in traditional data traac but also in newly emerging video traac, it is likely that future Internet may have to support traac that has long-term correlation. It is therefore important to understand impact of traac correlation on network performance. This paper presents a solid...

The phenomenal increase in network capacity to hundreds and thousands of Gbits/s in the core as well as Gbits/s at the access, is soon to witness stupendous amounts of packets that have to be processed and switched at amplifying line rates. Looking into the future, we address the need for the integration of packets of larger size, called XLFrames (XLFs), into the future Internet framework. This...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study on the impact of manufacturing strategies and resources on innovation performance in two newly industrialised countries in the South East Asian region, Thailand and Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative approach was employed. The survey data was drawn from 95 Thai and 44 Vietnamese middle or senior managers in...

This paper presents the key ideas behind the ICT CROWD (Connectivity management for eneRgy Optimised Wireless Dense networks) project, funded by the European Commission. The project moves from the observation that wireless traffic demand is currently growing exponentially. This growing demand can only be satisfied by increasing the density of points of access and combining different wireless te...

Emerging Telecollaboration (TC) environments are part of the major interactive multimedia initiatives that will pave the way for high-speed interactivity among the geographically separated groups of people and businesses. It is realized that best use of the interactive power of a Telecollaboration business system could potentially shape any process and outcome focused business through the use o...

A standardized descriptive ontology supports efficient querying and manipulation of data from heterogeneous sources across boundaries of distributed infrastructures, particularly in federated environments. In this article, we present the Open-Multinet (OMN) set of ontologies, which were designed specifically for this purpose as well as to support management of life-cycles of infrastructure reso...

The increase of networking complexity requires the design of new performance optimization schemes for delivering different types of sessions to users under different conditions. In this scope, special attention is given to multi-homed environments, where mobile devices cross areas with overlapping access technologies (Wi-Fi, 3G, WiMax). In such scenario, efficient multiparty delivery depends up...

Network virtualization is a concept where physical resources are used to create virtual resources that are combined to form virtual networks. As one of the key enablers of the future Internet, network virtualization solves a number of issues associated with today’s networks. Concepts of network virtualization that are not restricted to virtualization technology, termed as overall concepts that ...

The TEFID framework for Traffic Engineering in Future Internet Domains is outlined. The framework provides QoS and GoS by a set of inter-dependent traffic control and resource allocation functions. Traffic engineering relies on a relationship between three models: traffic model, network model, and performance model. The objective is to achieve fair and efficient sharing of resources among the n...
