The automatically switched optical networks (ASONs) and the generalized multi protocol label switching (GMPLS) control plane are envisaged to play an important role in the next generation Internet. ASON/GMPLS networks enable the multilayer traffic engineering (MTE) paradigm which facilitates the interaction between the IP and the dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) layers. In such dynamic scenario the lightpaths are considered to be on-demand services rather than static aggregation core pipes and therefore the quality of service (QoS) and the service differentiation (DiffServ) are issues to be addressed in both IP and optical layer and preferably in an integrated fashion. This paper proposes a DiffServ scheme for ASON/GMPLS networks which logically divides the IP/MPLS virtual topology into two virtual topologies used to carry high priority and low priority traffic, respectively. The control plane uses different routing/grooming and topology reconfiguration strategies offering more stability - and therefore strict QoS commitments - to the topology carrying high priority traffic. The fairness problem is also addressed by defining a parameter that allows the operator to control the quantity of resources assigned to the two virtual topologies. The performance of the proposed scheme has been evaluated by means of a simulation study.

Real-time data collection in a distributed embedded system requires dealing with failures such as data corruptions by malicious devices and arbitrary message delays in the network. Replication of data collection devices is employed to deal with such failures, with voting among the replica devices to move a correct data to the end-user. Here, the data being voted upon can be large-sized and/or take long time to be compiled (such as images in a terrain surveillance system and transaction histories in an intrusion detection system). The goal of our paper is to engineer the voting protocols to achieve good performance while meeting the reliability requirements of data delivery in a high assurance setting. The performance metrics are the data transfer efficiency (DTE) and the time-to-complete a data delivery (TTC). DTE captures the network bandwidth wasted and/or the energy drain in wireless-connected devices; whereas, TTC depicts the degradation in user-level QoS due to delayed and/or missed data deliveries. So, improving both DTE and TTC is a goal of our performance engineering exercise. Our protocol-level optimizations focus on reducing: i) the movement of user-level data between voters, ii) the number of voting actions/messages generated, and iii) the latency caused by the voting itself. The paper describes these optimizations, along with the experimental results from a prototype voting system.

The concept of spectrum sensing is, in the broad sense, the ability to detect and interpret other signals in the band and take appropriate actions by implementing adaptive techniques in the upper layers in addition to traditional interference cancellation techniques applied in the PHY layer. In this paper we present algorithms to trigger and detect interference from microwave oven for WLAN devices in the 2.4GHz spectrum and methods to mitigate the impact from the interference. The concept can be extended to other coexistence issues as well as spectrum sharing between primary and secondary users.

communication and collaboration is supported by a multitude of different (client) applications and backend systems. At the same time, new patterns of collaboration between knowledge workers arise: people want to communicate in-time, share resources, keep track of their issues and yet do not want to be unnecessarily disturbed in their concentration. We analyse several systems and approaches to support team-collaboration and finally introduce our understanding of "instant collaboration". In our research we support first patterns with a middleware and client-side prototype. The system is built upon proven systems for (instant) messaging, communication and repositories, and suggest a system that allows support for new work-patterns, yet integrates seamlessly into existing IT and workgroup infrastructure and company policies.

In this work, we compare current approaches to dynamic adaptation (DA) and identify the need for further research on mechanisms for DA, which should allow for higher compositionality and flexibility. Moreover, after exploring the research landscape in DA we identified the need for a framework that permits to compose several elements of a softwaresystem and specially the ones that perform adaptation. Finally, we identified the need for a framework that allows for runtime discovery or replacement of services with a runtime environment capable of verifying the reliability of changes and preservation of the execution time bounds of the softwaresystem.

A general web-based distance system uses video data and audio data to provide synchronize between teacher and student. This paper presents the design and implementation of an error and an application program sharing agent for collaborative multimedia distance education system which is running on RCSM (Reconfigurable Context Sensitive middleware) for ubiquitous networks. RCSM provides standardized communication protocols to interoperate an application with others under dynamically changing situations. it describes a hybrid software architecture that is running on situation-aware middleware for a web based distance education system which has an object with an various information for each session. There are two approaches to software architecture on which distributed, collaborative applications are based. Those include CACV (Centralized-Abstraction and Centralized-View) and RARV (Replicated-Abstraction and Replicated-View). And it also supports an application sharing model with fault tolerance for multimedia distance education system based RCSM.

In traditional cellular systems, the call requests initiated by mobile stations (MSs) must be carried through a base station (BS) via the cellular interface, but when MSs are located in the dead spots, their call requests mill be blocked because the MSs cannot communicate with the BS. It is considered to relay these blocked communication traffic by using ad hoc relaying, which will improve the performance of the system as a whole. This paper firstly introduces a novel architecture of two-hop-relay cellular system, and analyzes the communication traffic characteristics of the traditional cellular system and two-hop-relay cellular system respectively in the dead spots environment. Numerical results show that the two-hoprelay cellular system outpetforms the traditional cellular system in terms of the call blocking rate when considering the impact of dead spots.

Currently one can see a surge of evolving technologies supporting the creation of Rich Internet Applications. All of these approaches however traditionally address the classic Client/Server scenario in which a dedicated Web Server acts as application provider for thin clients. This paper argues, that there are many scenarios in which a Peer-to-Peer approach enabling every application/process to export parts of its graphical user interface in a lightweight and interoperable way would be more desirable. This work-in-progress paper presents the lightweight middleware prototype SEMPA, proving that these scenarios can be supported by combining the readily available technologies extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and Web Services.
