Extending WiMAX to Novel and Stringent Wireless Scenarios: An Introduction to the WEIRD Project

IEEE 802.16/WiMAX is one of the most promising technologies for Broadband Wireless Access, both for fixed and mobile use. Many application scenarios have been studied so far, including Wireless Local Loop, Wireless DSL and as an alternative to 3G in developing countries. This paper presents a WiMAX based end-to-end architecture...

A Short Proof of the VPN Tree Routing Conjecture on Ring Networks

The VPN Tree Routing Conjecture states that there always exists an optimal solution to the symmetric Virtual Private Network Design sVPND problem where the paths between all terminals form a tree. This paper presents a short proof of a slightly stronger conjecture which might also turn out to be useful...

Pamela, an antimatter lab in space

It's commonly admitted that about 80% of the Universe is made of 'dark matter.' But we had only rudimentary ways to detect it, such as high flying balloons. Now, the first satellite designed to detect both antimatter and dark matter has been launched last week. Nature writes that this antimatter...
