Our society continues to depend upon systems that are built in a way that they end up being inflexible and intolerant to change. Therefore there is an urgent need to investigate innovations and approaches to the management of adaptive and dependable systems. These studies are usually implemented through design, development, and the evaluation of techniques and models to structure computer systems as adaptive systems. Innovations and Approaches for Resilient and Adaptive Systems is a comprehensive collection of knowledge on increasing the notions and models in adaptive and dependable systems. This book aims to enhance the awareness of the role of adaptability and resilience in system environments for researchers, practitioners, educators, and professionals alike.
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles/Trains, Nets4Cars 2012 and Nets4Trains 2012, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in April 2012. The 4 full papers of the rail track and 11 full papers of the road track presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They provide an overview over latest technologies and research in the field of intra- and inter-vehicle communications (protocols and standards), mobility and traffic models (models, methodologies, and techniques), testing, and applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2009, held in Lyon, France, in November 2009. The 49 revised full papers and 14 brief announcements presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. The papers address all safety and security-related aspects of self-stabilizing systems in various areas. The most topics related to self-* systems. The special topics were alternative systems and models, autonomic computational science, cloud computing, embedded systems, fault-tolerance in distributed systems / dependability, formal methods in distributed systems, grid computing, mobility and dynamic networks, multicore computing, peer-to-peer systems, self-organizing systems, sensor networks, stabilization, and system safety and security.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2006, held in Budapest, Hungary in June 2006. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stochastic process algebra, workloads and benchmarks, theory of stochastic processes, formal dependability and performance evaluation, as well as queues, theory and practice.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Advanced Communication and Networking, ACN 2011, held in Brno, Czech Republik, in June 2011. The 57 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers focus on the various aspects of progress in Advanced Communication and Networking with computational sciences, mathematics and information technology and address all current issues of communication basic and infrastructure, networks basic and management, multimedia application, image, video, signal and information processing.
IP is clearly emerging as the networking paradigm for the integration of the tr- ?c ?ows generated by a variety of new applications (IP telephony, multimedia multicasting, e-business, ...), whose performance requirements may be extremely di?erent. This situation has generated a great interest in the development of te- niques for the provision of quality of service (QoS) guarantees in IP networks. Two proposals have already emerged from the IETF groups IntServ and Di?- Serv, but research and experiments are continuing, in order to identify the most e?ective architectures and protocols. The Italian Ministry for University and Scienti?c Research has been funding a research program on these topics, named “Techniques for quality of service guarantees in multiservice telecommunication networks” or MQOS for short, in the years 1999 and 2000. At the end of its activity, the MQOS program has organized in Rome (Italy) in January 2001 the International Workshop on QoS in Multiserevice IP N- works (QoS-IP 2001), for the presentation of high-quality recent research results on QoS in IP networks, and the dissemination of the most relevant research results obtained within the MQOS program.
"This book provides high quality, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive and dependable systems that are built to sustain quality of service and experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments"--Provided by publisher.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Teletraffic Congress, ITC 2007, held in Ottawa, Canada, June 2007. Coverage includes IPTV planning and modeling, network performance, traffic engineering, end-to-end delay in converged networks, queuing models, impact of convergence and divergence forces on network performance, traffic management in wireless networks, and network design for capacity and performance.
Information Highways are widely considered as the next generation of high speed communication systems. These highways will be based on emerging Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN), which - at least in principle - are envisioned to support not only all the kinds of networking applications known today but also future applications which are not as yet understood fully or even anticipated. Thus, B-ISDNs release networking processes from the limitations which the communications medium has imposed historically. The operational generality stems from the versatility of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) which is the transfer mode adopted by ITU-T for broadband public ISDN as well a...
Matrix-analytic methods are fundamental to the analysis of a family of Markov processes rich in structure and of wide applicability. They are extensively used in the modelling and performance analysis of computer systems, telecommunication networks, network protocols and many other stochastic systems of current commercial and engineering interest.This volume deals with: (1) various aspects of the theory of block-structured Markov chains; (2) analysis of complex queueing models; and (3) parameter estimation and specific applications to such areas as cellular mobile systems, FS-ALOHA, the Internet and production systems.
