This document describes the mechanism of OLIA, the "Opportunistic Linked Increases Algorithm". OLIA is a congestion control algorithm for MPTCP. The current congestion control algorithm of MPTCP, LIA [4], forces a tradeoff between optimal congestion balancing and responsiveness. OLIA's design departs from this tradeoff and provide these properties simultaneously. Hence, it solves the identified...

This paper describes the extension of the Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation (OLiA) with respect to discourse features. The OLiA ontologies provide a a terminology repository that can be employed to facilitate the conceptual (semantic) interoperability of annotations of discourse phenomena as found in the most important corpora available to the community, including OntoNotes, the RST Discourse...

This paper announces the release of the Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation (OLiA). The OLiA ontologies represent a repository of annotation terminology for various linguistic phenomena on a great band-width of languages. This paper summarizes the results of five years of research, it describes recent developments and directions for further research.

This paper describes the Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation (OLiA) as one of the data sets currently available as part of Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) cloud. Within the LLOD cloud, the OLiA ontologies serve as a reference hub for annotation terminology for linguistic phenomena on a great band-width of languages, they have been used to facilitate interoperability and information integrati...

In the LOD era, the conceptual interoperability of language resources is established by using modular architectures like the Ontologies of Linguistic Annotations (Chiarcos, 2008a, OLiA). Available as a part of the Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) cloud,1 OLiA provides ontological representations of annotation schemes for over 70 languages, as well as their linking to a reference model. We suc...

MPTCP has been proposed as a mechanism to support transparently multiple connections to the application layer and is under discussion at the IETF [1]. It can effectively use the available bandwidth and it improves throughput and fairness, compared to independent TCP flows in many scenarios [2–4]. However we show, by measurements over our testbed and analytically, that MPTCP still suffers from t...

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has emerged as a facilitator for harnessing and pooling available bandwidth in wireless/wireline communication networks data centers. Existing implementations of MPTCP such as, Linked Increase Algorithm (LIA), Opportunistic LIA (OLIA) BAlanced LInked Adaptation (BALIA) include separate algorithms congestion control packet scheduling, with pre-selected parameters. We propos...

This document describes the mechanism of Balia, the "Balanced linked adaptation", which is a congestion control algorithm for Multipath TCP (MPTCP). The recent proposals, LIA and OLIA, suffer from either unfriendliness to Single Path TCP (SPTCP) or unresponsiveness to network changes under certain conditions. The tradeoff between friendliness and responsiveness is inevitable, but Balia judiciou...
