Packet switching in connection-oriented networks that may have multiple parallel links between pairs of switches is considered. An e cient packet-scheduling algorithm that guarant...
Packet scheduling and queue management strategies are key issues of DiffServ per-hop behaviours. This paper proposes a queue management system that, in conjunction with scheduling ...
The two-dimensional orthogonal packing problem (2OPP) consists in determining if a set of rectangles can be packed in a larger rectangle of fixed size. We propose an exact method ...
In real systems, such as operating systems, the scheduler is often unaware of the remaining work in each job or of the ability of the job to take advantage of more resources. In th...
Characterizing mobility or contact patterns in a campus environment is of interest for a variety of reasons. Existing studies of these patterns can be classified into two basic a...
