- Towards Management of SLA-Aware Business Processes Based on Key Performance Indicators
- It is increasingly important that Service Level Agreements SLAs are taken into account when business processes are exposed as services in a Service Oriented Architecture. SLAs define expected service behavior and nonfunctional properties of the service. The fact that the service provider has to offer certain guarantees concerning SLA properties...

- Optical Burst Transport Network (OBTN) - A Novel Architecture for Efficient Transport of Optical Burst Data Over Lambda Grids
- This paper presents a novel network architecture, called Optical Burst Transport Network OBTN, which can efficiently transport burst data over a virtual topology and reduce the port count of optical burst nodes. In OBTN nodes, bursts from attached optical feeder networks, e. g., metro networks, are multiplexed and transported to...

- Experiences With Node Virtualization for Scalable Network Emulation
- During the development of network protocols and distributed applications, their performance has to be analyzed in appropriate environments. Network emulation testbeds provide a synthetic, configurable network environment for comparative performance measurements of real implementations. Realistic scenarios have to consider hundreds of communicating nodes. Common network emulation approaches limit the number...

- Palin the reformer? In fact, a pattern of stonewalling and hiding
- The Associated Press takes a hard look at Sarah Palin's spotty – perhaps, hypocritical – record on open government and online transparency. She claims to be a reformer who will bring to Washington the government openness she says she established in Alaska. But the AP's review of her...
