Majoration des retards dans les réseaux ATM
The Progressive Second Price mechanism (PSP), recently introduced by Lazar and Semret to share an infinitely-divisible resource among users through pricing, has been shown to verify very interesting properties. Indeed, the incentive compatibility property of that scheme, and the convergence to an efficient resource allocation where established, using the framework of Game Theory. Therefore, that auction-based allocation and pricing scheme seems particularly well-suited to solve congestion problems...
The principal modelling and simulation features of multistage interconnection networks operating in packet switching are discussed in this paper. The networks studied interconnect processors and memory modules in multiprocessor systems. Several methods are included to increase the bandwidth achievable with this kind of networks. Besides using network buffering, the possibility of having queues of requests at the memory modules is considered. Network conflicts can be reduced using a second network...
