A distributed transportation simplex applied to a Content Distribution Network problem

Rafaelli de C. Coutinho, Lúcia M. A. Drummond, Yuri Frota (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

A Content Distribution Network (CDN) can be defined as an overlay system that replicates copies of contents at multiple points of a network, close to the final users, with the objective of improving data access. CDN technology is widely used for the distribution of large-sized contents, like in video streaming. In this paper we address the problem of finding the best server for each customer request in CDNs, in order to minimize the overall cost. We consider the problem as a transportation problem...

A model of route lifetime optimization with linguistic knowledge in wireless ad-hoc networks.

E. Natsheh, S. Khatun, A. Jantan (2006)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol has been and continues to be a very active and fruitful research protocol since its introduction in the wireless ad-hoc networks. AODV uses a static value for its route lifetime parameter called Active Route Timeout (ART) which indicates the time that the route can stay active in the routing table. Route lifetime may be more accurately determined dynamically via measurement, instead of static value. To accomplish this, the fuzzy logic system...

A simplex trained neural network-based architecture for sensor fusion and tracking of target maneuvers

Yee Chin Wong, Malur K. Sundareshan (1999)

Kybernetika

One of the major applications for which neural network-based methods are being successfully employed is in the design of intelligent integrated processing architectures that efficiently implement sensor fusion operations. In this paper we shall present a novel scheme for developing fused decisions for surveillance and tracking in typical multi-sensor environments characterized by the disparity in the data streams arriving from various sensors. This scheme employs an integration of a multilayer neural...

Algorithmic Background of the Host Recommendation in the Adaptive Distributed Multimedia Server

Szkaliczki, Tibor, Goldschmidt, Balázs, Böszörmenyi, Laszlo (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Partial support of the Hungarian State Eötvös Scholarship, the Hungarian National Science Fund (Grant No. OTKA 42559 and 42706) and the Mobile Innovation Center, Hungary is gratefully acknowledged.In a distributed server architecture an obvious question is where to deploy the components. Host recommendation, which gives the answer, faces problems such as server selection, host deployment and, in case of multimedia servers, video replication. It is especially relevant for the Adaptive Distributed...

Anycasting in connection-oriented computer networks: Models, algorithms and results

Krzysztof Walkowiak (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Our discussion in this article centers around various issues related to the use of anycasting in connection-oriented computer networks. Anycast is defined as a one-to-one-of-many transmission to deliver a packet to one of many hosts. Anycasting can be applied if the same content is replicated over many locations in the network. Examples of network techniques that apply anycasting are Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Domain Name Service (DNS), Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. The role of anycasting is...
