The implementation of successful assured forwarding (AF) services according to the DiffServ framework remains a challenging problem today, despite the numerous proposals for AF PHB mechanisms and AF-based service implementations. In this work, we propose two modules, the TCP-window aware marker (TWAM) and the dynamic WRED (DWRED) mechanism for implementing the DiffServ AF PHB. We provide analytical models and an experimental evaluation in order to demonstrate how they succeed in enhancing the quality, increasing fairness, improving the performance and easing the deployment of a production- level AF-based service.

In this paper, we first present and compare existing categorization schemes for neuro-symbolic approaches. We then stress the point that not all hybrid neuro-symbolic approaches can be accommodated by existing categories. Such a case is rule-based neuro-symbolic approaches that propose a unified knowledge representation scheme suitable for use in expert systems. That kind of integrated schemes have the two component approaches tightly and indistinguishably integrated, offer an interactive inference engine and can provide explanations. Therefore, we introduce a new category of neuro-symbolic integrations, namely ‘representational integrations’. Furthermore, two sub-categories of representational integrations are distinguished, based on which of the two component approaches of the integrations is given pre-eminence. Representative approaches as well as advantages and disadvantages of both sub-categories are discussed.

This paper presents the work that is taking place in the Region of Western Greece in order to develop state-of-the-art broadband infrastructure. The current status of broadband infrastructure in the region is being analyzed and the main principles on which the deployment of the networks will be based on is being described, by presenting the metropolitan area networks and the wireless access networks that will be developed. Two case studies of such municipal networks are also presented in this paper

In this paper a quantum computer based on the recombination processes happening in semiconductor devices is presented. A “data element” and a “computational element” are derived based on Schokley‐Read‐Hall statistics and they can later be used in order to manifest a simple and known quantum algorithm. Such a paradigm is shown by the application of the proposed technology onto the Shor’s period‐finding algorithm.

Enterprise integration is significant for the enforcement of novel business models in an enterprise/industry. The great heterogeneity of systems/applications in the enterprise environment requires the introduction of interoperability aspects in order to resolve integration problems in a flexible and dynamic way. Our approach introduces an advanced enterprise semantic model representing both enterprise structure and available services, through the use of ontologies. The model is associated by a specific architecture that uses the above model in combination with state-of-the-art technologies such as Web services and workflows

The pDSL technology is used for providing multiple, high-speed broadband links over power lines in the indoor environment This work addresses the problem of bandwidth allocation between the various links of a pDSL network and proposes an algorithm for determining the allocation of the various subchannels during network activation and periodically during the normal network operation. The paper also demonstrates the performance of the proposed algorithm using an illustrative example.

This paper presents a dynamic discrete bit-loading algorithm for multicarrier pDSL communication links that utilize the indoor power line network. In order to confront the time varying behavior of power line transmission media, the proposed algorithm provides fast adaptive bit and power loading with reduced complexity using channel state information and a subchannel link-allocation profile. Numerical results based on simulated network loading scenarios demonstrate the performance and the complexity of the proposed method.

Wireless network communities face a number of difficulties due to lack of integration between network and community resources management. In this work, we present a novel solution and we outline the architecture, design and implementation of an intelligent Web based management system for metropolitan area wireless network communities. The system supports multi-user and personalization features combined with wireless node configuration and monitoring, in a portal-like environment. Additionally to the software discussed, a test-bed implementation is presented to confirm platform and software robustness and cost-effectiveness of the proposed solutions. The overall environment is already operational for two years, while user and administrators' feedback has been incorporated into the system in a regular manner. Evaluation of the work has been performed in the online wireless network environment by computer and communication engineers and it strongly indicates that the proposed mechanism is both effective and efficient. Finally, future steps and enhancements are discussed.

In this paper, we present an integrated system architecture for metacomputing on top of distributed scientific resources via semantic-driven information management. Our approach is to consider both data and programs as objects of an application-specific ontology, describing them via corresponding metadata schemata that can be exploited to search for and to generate information in an efficient and automated way. Metacomputations are expressed in the form of workflows thereby enabling a flexible combination of data and program objects that can reside on different servers or grid resources. Workflow descriptions are associated with ontology concepts and can be activated as a side-effect of searching for information to produce new data on demand. We also report on the current status of an implementation that provides support for several aspects of this architecture.
