Dynamic Allocation of Servers to Jobs in a Grid Hosting EnvironmentBT Technology Journal - Tập 22 - Trang 251-260 - 2004
C Kubicek, M Fisher, P McKee, R Smith
As computational resources become available for use over the Internet, a
requirement has emerged to reconfigure servers to an optimal allocation to cope
with an unpredictable flow of incoming jobs. This paper describes an
architecture that allows the dynamic reconfiguration of servers to process
incoming jobs by switching servers between conceptual pools. The system makes
use of heuristic policies... hiện toàn bộ
Edge Mobility Architecture — Routeing and Hand-offBT Technology Journal - Tập 19 - Trang 114-126 - 2001
A W O'Neill, G Tsirtsis
This paper presents a network architecture for supporting edge mobility, and
goes on to consider IP networks in which the core topology is fixed but where
the hosts at the edge of the network may be mobile, as is the case in cellular
networks. Within this architecture, mobile enhanced routeing (MER) protocols are
used to support the prefix-routed requirements of the fixed Internet, along with
the ... hiện toàn bộ
Emerging Broadband Access TechnologiesBT Technology Journal - Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 187-195 - 1998
Clarke, D. E. A., Lampard, G., Merrett, R. P., Smith, D. W., Wakeling, J. F., Whitley, T. J., Young, G.
This paper briefly outlines the wide variety of emerging technologies that are
set to challenge the traditional copper pair access network for new services.
Features such as capacity and geographical coverage of the alternatives are
discussed.
Out and About — Real World TeleconferencingBT Technology Journal - Tập 18 - Trang 80-82 - 2000
M Billinghurst, H Kato
Videoconferencing has traditionally been confined to desktop or office
environments. However, a large percentage of the workforce is engaged in mobile
occupations away from the desktop. In this paper we describe how augmented
reality can be used to develop new forms of teleconferencing to support these
workers. To provide an example of one approach, we have developed an augmented
reality system th... hiện toàn bộ
A Distributed Framework for Parallel Data Mining Using HPJavaBT Technology Journal - Tập 17 - Trang 146-154 - 1999
O. Rana, D. Fisk
Java has become a language of choice for applications executing in heterogeneous
environments utilising distributed objects and multithreading. To handle large
data sets, scalable and efficient implementations of data mining approaches are
required, generally employing computationally intensive algorithms. Conventional
Java implementations do not directly provide support for the data structures
of... hiện toàn bộ
Video QoS enhancement using perceptual quality metricsBT Technology Journal - Tập 23 - Trang 208-216 - 2005
D. Hands, A. Bourret, D. Bayart
As the market for broadband video services matures, the ability to deliver
high-value video content will become increasingly important. For the
telecommunications industry to compete effectively with other video providers,
it is vital that the quality of video services matches the expectations of
customers. A major challenge lies in ensuring that the trade-off between price
and quality is acceptab... hiện toàn bộ
OSS ResponsibilitiesBT Technology Journal - Tập 18 - Trang 78-79 - 2000
M Holladay, C Russell, P B Barnsley, T Babbs
We are all familiar with technological advances that have transformed the
telecommunications industry in recent history. Why, it was only last millennium
that the simplicity of digital signalling replaced the click-whirr of analogue
pulses. With all these advances, we have taken for granted that sophisticated
mechanisms exist behind the scenes to support the operation of the services we
use. Your ... hiện toàn bộ
