- DiffServ Traffic Management With MPLS
- This paper describes a proportional differentiated services architecture based on MPLS constraint based routing for traffic engineering. Three classes are defined: Gold, Silver and Bronze. The Gold class gets the best service and, whenever possible, the double of the bandwidth of the Silver class. The Bronze class is a best...

- Query-Log Mining for Detecting Polysemy and Spam
- Through their interaction with search engines, users provide implicit feedback that can be used to extract useful knowledge and improve the quality of the search process. This feedback is encoded in the form of a query log that consists of a sequence of search actions, which contain information about submitted...

- Load Balancing by Domain Decomposition: The Bounded Neighbours Approach
- This paper presents a new domain decomposition approach whose main goal is the computation of a load balancing partition while reducing the overhead to compute such a partition. In the proposed approach, the number of neighbours of each sub-domain produced by the decomposition can be bounded by a user supplied...

- For-LySa: UML for Authentication Analysis
- The DEGAS project aims at enriching standard UML-centred development environments in such a way that the developers of global applications can exploit automated formal analyses with minimal overhead. This paper presents For-LySa, an instantiation of the DEGAS approach for authentication analysis, which exploits an existing analysis tool developed for the...

- Formalizing an Adaptive Security Infrastructure in Mobadtl
- The paper discusses an approach to the logic specification of an Adaptive Security Infrastructure and, within it, of a specific adaptive policy, namely a routing one. The proposal is based on previous work on logic based specification of secure mobile systems. The approach builds on Mob, a model for communication...

- A Survey on TCP Performance Evaluation and Modeling
- This paper is an introduction to the recent advances in performance evaluation and modeling of Internet congestion control. In particular, it focuses on the class of analytic models of TCP that explicitly consider the interaction between the transport and the network layer. Being analytic models, they can determine the impact...

- An Event-Condition-Action Logic Programming Language
- Event-Condition-Action ECA languages are an intuitive and powerful paradigm for programming reactive systems. Usually, important features for an ECA language are reactive and reasoning capabilities, the possibility to express complex actions and events, and a declarative semantics. This paper introduces ERA, an ECA language based on, and extending the framework...

- A Compact Multi Band PIFA for Wireless LAN Mobile Terminals
- A novel compact Planar Inverted-F Antenna PIFA for laptop computers is presented. The proposed antenna is a multi-band single-feed PIFA operating in the IEEE 802.11a (5150-5350 MHz, 5725-5825MHz), IEEE 802.11b,g (2400-2484 MHz) and HIPERLAN2 (5470- 5725MHz) frequency bands. The broad impedance bandwidth is achieved by combining a trapezoidal feed plate...

- Energy Saving Scheduling for Embedded Real-Time Linux Applications
- The problem of reducing energy consumption is becoming very important in the design of embedded real-time systems. Many of these systems, in fact, are powered by rechargeable batteries, and the goal s to extend, as much as it is possible, the autonomy of the system. To reduce energy consumption, one...
