It is anticipated that a large amount of multicast traffic needs to be supported in future communication networks. The network coding technique proposed recently is promising for e...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of provisioning spare capacity in two-layer backbone networks using shared backup path protection. First, two spare capacity alloc...
We present a new machine learning method that, given a set of training examples, induces a definition of the target concept in terms of a hierarchy of intermediate concepts and th...
