Detailed analysis is given by taking into account several key statistical factors, such as service traffic model, the ratio between the polling period and the contention period (CP), burst generation probabilities.

New options of fitness functions, variation and selection operators were proposed to increase the ability to generate feasible routes. The simulations were performed in two networks: the 33-node European GEANT WAN network to assess the capacity to find viable solutions and a 100-node network to test the capacity to handle larger networks.

Generally on such networks, any packet from a node is forwarded toward a destination along the same path, even if some of the packets belong to a different flow with different characteristics. In accordance with packet characteristics and to fulfil demands such as traffic engineering and QoS routing, flow-level multi-path forwarding allows explicit selection of the paths on which to send packets. Multi protocol label switching (MPLS) technology has been used to perform this function so far. However, to apply MPLS on an existing IPv6 network, all non-MPLS-enabled routers in the network must be replaced with MPLS-enabled routers. Therefore, the migration cost is generally expensive. Our previous work has proposed a technique called flow-mapping explicit host routing (FMEHR,), that renders similar results to MPLS using unused address spaces such as IP private addresses. This paper describes the FMEHR concept and its realization on an IPv6 network and discusses its characteristics.","PeriodicalId":185969,"journal":{"name":"20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Volume 1 (AINA'06)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126694553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the degree of subjectivity embedded in human trust often clashes with the requirements imposed by the target scenario: on one hand, pervasive computing calls for autonomic and light-weight systems that impose minimum burden on the user of the device (and on the device itself); on the other hand, computational models of human trust seem to demand a large amount of user input and physical resources. The result is often a computational trust model that does not 'compute': either the degree of subjectivity it offers is limited, or its complexity compromises its usability. In this paper, we present an accurate and efficient trust prediction model that is based on a basic Kalman filter. We discuss simulation results to demonstrate that the predictor is capable of capturing the natural disposition to trust of the user of the device, while being autonomic and light-weight.","PeriodicalId":185969,"journal":{"name":"20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Volume 1 (AINA'06)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129284020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vertical seamless handover between different wireless systems is possible while the Internet's QoS mechanisms are difficult to integrate into the handover procedures. ITEA's Easy Wireless project develops a new approach to end-to-end QoS in wireless heterogeneous networks. In this paper we discuss how the IP end-to-end QoS architectures can be supported when a seamless vertical handover is executed between different network systems. We focus on analyzing the latest standardized versions of the existing wireless 2/sup nd/ and 3/sup rd/ generation cellular systems together with WLAN or WMAN technologies.
