- Islands of hope in an ocean of energy
- Courtesy Wavebob. Britain and Ireland have a long and bloody mutual history. They've ended open hostility and the neighboring nations now share and compete with a possible future energy source: the restless waves of the North Atlantic. Both Ireland and the United Kingdom are looking...

- ireland, labor migration and globalization
- It was great to see Ireland again, something I did as part of a trip to London (for those looking for cheap trips to Europe, try flying to Shannon, Ireland then using one of the many discount airlines that fly into that airport, like EasyJet, RyanAir or CentralWings). ...

- If Skype was disruptive to telcos, then Cubic Telecom is their nightmare (and good for you)
- A few weeks prior to my scheduled departure for Dublin, Ireland where I ran the most recent Mashup Camp, I started handing out the phone numbers of my hotel and traveling companions to people who might want to reach me while I was over there. For cell phone usage,...

- ireland: Where the soul of the developer can be found
- After a blur of a long weekend in Dublin, Ireland, I'm replaying in my mind the course of events that took place at Mashup Camp Dublin and the great many new and old friendships that I and the rest of the Mashup Camp team either started fresh or nurtured. ...

- Why Choose ireland as Your Online Backup Location?
- Ireland is among the worlds most sought after and successful investment locations. Local policies have greatly encouraged this. In excess of 1,400 overseas companies do world-wide business from Ireland. Few countries can equal Irelands benefits of location, demographics, language, climate, telecommunications and economics. It is for these reasons that it...

- TCP Testing - Preventing Global Internet Warming
- Do the new TCP congestion control algorithms and other changes have unfairness that could lead to congestion collapse? Testing multiple flows using applications (rsync and ftp) shows some unfairness exists when the bottleneck queue is large; but the new algorithms are no more unfair than standard TCP. The Transmission Control...

- Experimental Evaluation of Cubic-TCP
- This paper presents an initial experimental evaluation of the recently proposed Cubic-TCP algorithm. Results are presented using a suite of benchmark tests that have been recently proposed in the literature, and a number of issues are of practical concern highlighted. While some of these issues may be considered minor (including...

- Experimental Evaluation of TCP Protocols for High-Speed Networks
- In this paper we present experimental results evaluating the performance of the Scalable-TCP, HS-TCP, BIC-TCP, FAST-TCP and H-TCP proposals in a series of benchmark tests. In summary, we find that both Scalable-TCP and FAST-TCP consistently exhibit substantial unfairness, even when competing flows share identical network path characteristics. Scalable-TCP, HS-TCP, FAST-TCP...

- Investigation of the Block ACK Scheme in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks
- A Block Transmission and Acknowledgement (BTA) scheme, also called Block ACK, has been proposed in the IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN (WLAN) specification to improve efficiency of the medium access control layer. The idea of the BTA scheme is to transmit multiple data frames followed by only one acknowledgment frame in...

- Impact of Drop Synchronisation on TCP Fairness in High Bandwidth-Delay Product Networks
- This paper considers the performance of several well known high speed protocols in environments where individual flows experience different probabilities of seeing a drop in drop-tail buffers. The initial results suggest the properties of networks in which these protocols are deployed can be sensitive to changes in these probabilities. These...

- H-TCP: A Framework for Congestion Control in High-Speed and Long-Distance Networks
- This paper presents a new AIMD congestion control algorithm, H-TCP that is suitable for deployment in high speed and long distance networks as well as conventional networks. H-TCP generalises the AIMD strategy to significantly improve the manner in which responsiveness and efficiency scale with path bandwidth-delay product and level of...

- Exposing Semantic Web Service Principles in SOA to Solve EAI Scenarios
- Traditional Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) focuses on the integration of application interfaces by pipelining different middleware technologies like message queuing or remote method invocations. Web Service enabled Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) used in EAI were a step towards providing an abstraction layer for the involved interfaces by using the Web Service...

- Modeling the 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function With Heterogenous Finite Load
- Analysis of the 802.11 CSMA/CA mechanism has received considerable attention recently. Bianchi presents an analytic model under a saturated traffic assumption. Bianchi's model is accurate, but typical network conditions are non-saturated and heterogenous. This paper presents an extension of his model to a non-saturated environment. The model's predictions, validated against...
