Using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum to Determine the Responsiveness of a TCP Aggregate to Packet Drops
(2003)
In this paper we introduce a test through which the responsiveness of a TCP aggregate can be measured. The first introduced test is based on dropping a few packets from the aggregate and measuring the resulting rate decrease ...
Rollout Algorithms for Integrated Topology Control and Routing in Wireless Optical Backbone Networks
(2003)
We consider a wireless backbone network with free space optical point-to-point links. Such a network could form a backbone for either a cellular or hierarchical ad hoc network. Each backbone node has a limited number of ...
Feedback Control of Border Collision Bifurcations in Two-Dimensional Discrete-Time Systems
(2002)
The feedback control of border collision bifurcations is consideredfor two-dimensional discrete-time systems. These are bifurcations that can occur when a fixed point of a piecewise smooth system crosses the border between ...
A Dynamic Optimization Approach to the Scheduling Problem in Satellite and Wireless Broadcast Systems
(2002)
The continuous growth in the demand for access to information andthe increasing number of users of the information delivery systemshave sparked the need for highly scalable systems with moreefficient usage of the bandwidth. ...
Adaptive Identification and Control of Hysteresis in Smart Material Actuators
(2003)
Hysteresis exhibited by smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators and sensors. In this paper methods are studied for recursive identification and adaptive inverse control of smart material actuators, ...
Tool Wear Estimation from Acoustic Emissions: A Model Incorporating Wear Rate
(2001)
Almost all prior work on modeling the dependence of acoustic emissions on tool wear have concentrated on the effect of wear-level on the sound. We give justification for including the wear-rate information contained in the ...
Load balancing in multi-beam satellite systems
(2004)
We propose an approach to optimize resource sharing and in a multi-beam broadband satellite system that supports both unicast and multicast flows. We show that in this architecture, the load on every spot-beam queue could ...
OPTIMAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE POLICIES FOR UNRELIABLE QUEUEING AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
(2003)
Preventive Maintenance (PM) models have traditionally concentrated on utilizing machine ``technical" state information such as the degree of deterioration. However, in real manufacturing systems, additional system operational ...
Making Computer and Internet Usability a Priority (2000)
(2005)
As usability professionals, we are all too aware of the productivity losses, frustration, and lost business that results from poorly designed user interfaces. And we are uncomfortable with the risks created by poorly ...
Jitter Analysis of CBR Streams in Multimedia Networks
(2003)
The performance of real time applications such as video andvoice streams relies on packet delay jitter. Large delay jittercauses buffer overflow or underflow at the receiver end and theuser encounters interrupts. The delay ...
