Ad hoc networks (AHNs) include mobile nodes with limited communication resources on which the path selection is usually made according to a best effort strategy. Today, AHNs are facing a new challenge: a resources reservation mechanism oriented quality of service. The importance of this challenge makes this issue focused by several researchers. In this paper we propose a flexible QoS reservation mechanism...
An e-Infrastructure allows end-user's applications to easily and securely access heterogeneous grid resources (e.g., computing and storage elements). Since e-Science applications are often characterized by huge data transfers and high computational loads, the selection and allocation of grid resources dramatically affect their performance. This paper proposes a distributed resource allocation algorithm,...
Content-based publish/subscribe allows for highly expressive descriptions of subscriptions and thus is more appropriate for content dissemination when a finer level of granularity is necessary. However, scalability has become an issue due to the expensive matching and delivering inherent in content-based events. In this paper we propose a novel content-based publish/subscribe framework built over...
This work proposes a novel priority based resource management framework for multimedia applications in distributed collaborative environment. Due to the dynamic nature of the collaborative environment, sometimes the network could be lightly loaded and sometimes highly congested. Moreover, application priority might be changed by the user dynamically. In this dynamic environment, Quality of Experience...
The Path Selection Problem (PSP) is essential for achieving high system capacity in IEEE 802.16j Mobile Multi-hop Relay (MMR) networks. In this paper, we focus on the PSP in IEEE 802.16j transparent MMR (T-MMR) systems, and point out the PSP is tightly bound with spectrum efficiencies and load-balance between resources. In IEEE 802.16 standard family, the resource for cyclic operations is defined...
In this paper, we study the delay performance of wireless network considering different resource allocation schemes with single-hop traffic. Existing works studying the delay performance only consider a given resource allocation scheme, either multi-channel system (sharing bandwidth) or time slotted system (sharing time). The fundamental question ignored is which type of resource allocation scheme...
In this paper, based on requirements of wireless Mesh network Multi-service and high speed, Is proposed based on more access control technology and the QoS control technology of new wireless resource allocation methods of the upward, To better solve the uplink bandwidths business concurrently, And both to delay and bandwidth requirements, improving the bandwidth of the system. Finally, simulation...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) should handle multiple sensing tasks for various applications. How to improve the quality of the data acquired in such resource constrained environment is a challenging issue. In this paper, we propose a sensor-channel co-allocation model for scheduling the sensing tasks. The proposed model considers the capability, coupling and load balancing constraints for sensing...
Intra- and Inter-flow interferences are the principal causes of network utilization degradation in MR-MC (Multi-Radio Multi-Channel) wireless mesh networks. To minimize these interferences, we propose in this paper a channel assignment algorithm and incorporate it in an on-demand routing protocol called the HCARP (Hybrid Channel Assignment Routing Protocol). In addition, HCARP uses load balancing...
In this paper, a new algorithm for dynamic traffic grooming is introduced. It considers the holding-time of the connections and it aims at balancing the load among existing lightpaths to avoid the formation of bottlenecks and, consequently, high blocking probability values. Results indicate that it produces significantly lower blocking probabilities when compared to other holding-time-aware algorithm...
With the deployment of more and more resilience-critical Internet applications, there is a rising demand for multi-homed network sites. This leads to the desire for simultaneously utilising all available access paths to improve application data throughput. This is commonly known as Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT); approaches for several Transport Layer protocols have been proposed. Combined with...
The pressure of the energy bill from operators and the request of the environmental protection from the governments and public results in more urgent requirement on the energy consumption and CO2 emission. Traditionally, the bandwidth and the transmit power are jointly considered to maximize the throughput of the wireless networks, while the energy efficiency of the wireless transmission is ignored...
The traditional client-server architecture widely adopted on the Internet is not adequate to meet the increasing user loads and bandwidth demands in live streaming systems especially for multimedia content delivery. Peer-to-peer P2P) overlay networks provide excellent system scalability and high resource utilization, which make it an attractive solution to this problem. This paper considers a hybrid...
Network Virtualization has recently emerged to provide scalable, customized and on-demand virtual network services over a shared substrate network. How to provide VN services with resiliency guarantees against network failures has become a critical issue, meanwhile the service resource usages should be minimized under the strict constraints such as link bandwidth capability and service resiliency...
Providing quality-of-service (QoS) for concurrent tasks in many-core architectures is becoming important, especially for real-time applications. QoS support for on-chip shared resources (such as shared cache, bus, and memory controllers)in chip-multiprocessors has been investigated in recent years. Unlike other shared resources, network-on-chip (NoC) does not typically have central arbitration of...
Load balancing is a key component of P2P network. In this paper, we present a new load balancing scheme for Chord system, called dynamic group-based duplications scheme (DGDS). Firstly, we divide Chord ring into several continuous groups, in which light-loaded peers share the load of overloaded peers. Secondly, DGDS computes out how many duplications are required to lighten the load of overloaded...
In this paper, we present a framework for performance modeling of virtual collaborative environments (VCE). Our model could be used as benchmarking tool for assessing the quality of experience of participants in a virtual environment. Our framework is designed to assess Second Life type of environments but could easily be extended to any kind of virtual worlds. We examine the case of users communicating...
Recently network virtualization is considered as a powerful way to overcome the current ossification of Internet, and is viewed as the keystone of the next-generation network architecture. In network virtualization, virtual network (VN) embedding problem, which assigns virtual nodes and links to physical network, plays an important role. Due to the scarcity of physical resource, efficient and effective...
Cloud computing offers a paradigm shift in management of computing resources for large-scale applications. Using the Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud computing model, users today can request dynamically provisioned, virtualized resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and network access in the form of virtualized resources. The client typically requests resources based on computational needs and...
To address interoperability and scalability issues for cloud computing, in our previous paper, we presented a novel cloud market model called CACM that enables a dynamic collaboration (DC) platform among different Cloud providers. As the initiator of dynamic collaboration, primary Cloud provider (pCP) needs an efficient local task selection and allocation algorithm to partition the whole tasks and...
