Multiobjective Network Design for Realistic Traffic Models

Tags:
network design

Overview Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume simplistic traffic models like Poisson. Such assumptions make the solutions inapplicable in the practical world. This paper formulates and solves a multiobjective network topology design problem for a realistic Internet traffic model which is assumed to be self similar. It optimizes for the average packet delivery delay and network layout cost to construct realistic network topologies.

Dear silicon.com... Tax crash, mobile driving, eBay feedback, Vista woes…

However inadequate the HMRC site might be, surely it's asking for trouble if you delay making your return until the last possible date? I too did my return a little while ago, but I left it until the last day to pay the bill - i.e.to be able to pay...

GPRS: At last the wait is over

It seems far more likely, in fact, that the delay of GPRS is down to technical, not health factors. And any delay in developing consumer applications for GPRS will hamper operators' access to revenue streams from the next stage in the evolution...

Opinion: We'll pay for ID cards

We have to assume, as with any computer system, that a failure rate will be present. Given that the UK has the highest failure rate for large-scale e-government projects in Europe and possibly the world, we must reasonably assume that if the ID...
