This book constitutes the outcome of the Workshop on Measurement and Measurement Tools which was held as part of the Future Internet Research Experimentation (FIRE) initiative during the Future Internet Assembly conference (FIA) in May 2012. The 10 contributions included in this volume are invited extended versions of the presentations at the workshop. The book closes with a summary and conclusions of the findings in these papers.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th IEEE International Workshop on IP Operations and Management, IPOM 2005, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2005. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They are organized in topical sections on operations and management for VoIP, IMS and managed IP services, management of open interfaces, QoS and pricing in NGNs, autonomic communications, policy-based management, routing and topologies, routing and tools, as well as experiences from testbeds and trials.
This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series contains all the papersacceptedforpresentationatthe16thIFIP/IEEEInternationalWorkshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2005), which was held at the University Polit` ecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona during October 24– 26, 2005. DSOM 2005 was the sixteenth workshop in a series of annual workshop and it followed the footsteps of highly successful previous meetings, the most - cent of which were held in Davis, USA (DSOM 2004), Heidelberg, Germany (DSOM 2003), Montreal, Canada (DSOM 2002), Nancy, France (DSOM 2001), and Austin, USA (DSOM 2000). The goal of the DSOM workshop is to bring togetherresearchersintheareasofnetworks,systems,andservicesmanagement, from both industry and academia, to discuss recent advances and foster future growth in this ?eld. In contrast to the larger management symposia, such as IM (Integrated Management) and NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium), the DSOM workshops are organized as single-track programs in order to stimulate interaction among participants.
This book examines the cultural production of Catalan intellectuals in Cuba through a reading of texts and journeys that show the contrapuntal relationship between transcultural identities and narratives of nationhood. Both the concept of transculturation and its instrumentalization to tame conflict within nationalist projects are problematic. By uncovering and examining the contradictions between the fluid character of identities in the Cuban context of the first half of the twentieth century and nationalist discourses, within both the Catalanist community of Havana and Cuban society, this book joins wider debates about identities.
A network is a mathematical object consisting of a set of points that are connected to each other in some fashion by lines. It turns out this simple description corresponds to a bewildering array of systems in the real world, ranging from technological ones such as the Internet and World Wide Web, biological networks such as that of connections of the nervous systems, food webs or protein interactions, infrastructural systems such as networks of roads, airports or the power-grid, to patterns of social and professional relationships such as friendship, sex partners, network of Hollywood actors, co-authorship networks and many more. Recent years have witnessed a substantial amount of interest ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a scientific field of longstanding tradition, with origins in the early years of computer science. Today AI has reached a level of maturity that allows us to build highly sophisticated systems which perform very different tasks. Nevertheless, its evolution has opened up a number of new problems, ranging from specific algorithms to system integration, which remain elusive and assure a long life for this research field. Research progress in this area is today an international challenge that must be supported by world-class meetings and organizations, but in spite of this fact, there is also an objective need for meetings and organizations that support and disseminate research at other levels. This book focuses on new and original research on Artificial Intelligence.
Proceedings of an April 2001 symposium, addressing traditional discrete-event and continuous simulation topics, as well as topics in areas of distributed systems, network modeling, and advances in simulation methodology and practices. Material is in sections on simulation based performance analysis, network modeling and simulation, VLSI circuit simulators, simulation languages and environments, Web-based modeling and simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, and advances in simulation methodology and practices. Some subjects are queue structures for shared-memory multiprocessor systems, building a Web-based federated simulation system with Jini and XML, modeling and simulation of active networks, performance optimization of throttled time-warp simulation, and fault identification networks by passive testing. Lacks a subject index. c. Book News Inc.
Rand Mintzer woke up one day and realized that he was morbidly obese, barely passing his college classes, and without any real goals. Inspired by the memory of a television movie and encouraged by a college roommate, he started running and turned his life around. That was more than thirty years ago, and he's been running ever since-even finishing a marathon. Whether you are battling a weight problem or already consider yourself a runner, you will be motivated by his personal story of redemption. "Every runner's story is at once unique and cut from a common cloth. Rand Mintzer's story is filled with heartwarming lessons and goals reached while saturated with logical and practical advice from which every new runner can benefit. Essentially two books in one, Thirty-Three Years of Running in Circles runs from the inspiring personal to the logical and essential practical while covering everything in between." -Rich Benyo, editor, Marathon and Beyond magazine
