The world's smallest book

According to a short article in LabnewsOnline, Canadian physicists have created the world's smallest book. This book, which was 'printed' in the nano-imaging lab of Simon Fraser University SFU, measures only 0.07 mm by 0.10 mm, and is composed of 30 microtablets. This book, complete with an International Standard Book...

Stability Analysis of RED Gateway With Multiple TCP Reno Connections

It has been observed that a bottleneck Random Early Detection RED gateway becomes oscillatory when regulating a flow in multiple TCP connections. The stability boundary of the TCP-RED system depends on various network parameters, making the adjustment of the RED gateway a difficult task. Based on a fluid-flow model, the...

QoS-Aware Streaming in Overlay Multicast Considering the Selfishness in Construction Action

Most existing overlay multicast proposals have assumed that the nodes are cooperative and thus focus on the global topology optimization. However, a unique and important characteristic of overlay nodes is that, as application-layer agents, they can be selfish with their own interests. To achieve better Quality-of-Service QoS or to minimize...
