In 21st century, convergences of technologies and services in heterogeneous environment have contributed multi-traffic. This scenario will affect computer network on learning system in higher educational Institutes. Impl...

The book presents the treatment of advanced topics in computer networks - mainly in those of high speed - which the designer or the network manager necessarily needs to know. These topics relate to multimedia traffic sup...

Materias / palabras clave: Computer network; Computer science; Optimized Link State Routing Protocol; Wireless Routing Protocol; Mobile ad hoc network; Wireless ad hoc network; Adaptive quality of service multi-hop routing; Host (biology); Ad hoc ...

This study aims to evaluate the criteria and procedures for the selection of antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs purchased by the public health network of the cities in the Ourinhos Micro-region, Sao Paulo, Brazil....

Statistical Bit Rate (SBR) transfer capability is considered a good option for supporting Variable Bit Rate (VBR) services. However, its study is somewhat in lag compared with Deterministic Bit Rate (DBR) or Available Bi...

System survivability is the ability to give service in spite of failures of some of the components. To assure survivability is an important goal when designing a communications network backbone, to ensure that it can res...

Fast response, storage efficiency, fault tolerance and graceful degradation in face of scarce or spurious inputs make neural networks appropiate tools for Intelligent Computer Systems. But on the other hand, learning alg...

An accurate procedure for evaluating the strong correlation and conflicting goals of coverage, capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) is required for efficient planning of 3G radio networks. In this paper, we explore and ...

An attempt has been made in this paper to access the control layer of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network base station (BS), using throughput optimization. We focus on the effect of packet transmissions on th...

An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing infrastructure. We present Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector Ro...

This paper introduces the conceptual design of a new information technology integrating wireless telephony and Internet services to assist in locating lost or displaced people in a moment of crisis. This public safety se...

A large quantity of data of different types and priorities pass through on high-speed networks. A relevant part of these data, like continuous media (audio, video, and so), need a control of its Quality of Service (QoS)....

The publication of Mobile IPv6 RFC 3775 by the IETF is a breakthrough in the data communications industry to achieve the technology convergence required by ubiquitous mobile devices. MIPv6 not only brings the possibility...

The ability of learning networks to generalize can be greatly enhanced by providing constraints from the task domain. This paper demonstrates how such constraints can be integrated into a backpropagation network through ...

Software radios are emerging as platforms for multiband multimode personal communications systems. Radio etiquette is the set of RF bands, air interfaces, protocols, and spatial and temporal patterns that moderate the us...

BACKGROUND: The number of prokaryotic genome sequences becoming available is growing steadily and is growing faster than our ability to accurately annotate them. DESCRIPTION: We describe a fully automated service for ann...

Decisions involve many intangibles that need to be traded off. To do that, they have to be measured along side tangibles whose measurements must also be evaluated as to, how well, they serve the objectives of the decisio...

Providing Quality of Service (QoS) in Video on Demand systems (VoD) is a challenging problem. In this paper, we analyse the fault tolerance on a P2P multicast delivery scheme, called Patch Collaboration Manager / Multica...

E-mail texts are hard to process due to their short length. In this article, the use of a diffuse neural network that is capable of identifying the most relevant terms in a set of e-mails is proposed. The associations be...

Nowadays Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems became an important part of Internet, millions of users have been attracted to use their structures and services. The popularity of Peer-to-Peer systems speed up academic research join...

The author presents a conceptual model of brand equity from the perspective of the individual consumer. Customer-based brand equity is defined as the differential effect of brand knowledge on consumer response to the mar...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis in the absence of a history of significant alcohol use or other known liver disease. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive f...

Economic theory has suffered in the past from a failure to state clearly its assumptions. Economists in building up a theory have often omitted to examine the foundations on which it was erected. This examination is, how...
