Broadband integrated services digital networks (B-ISDN) are aimed to transport both real-time traffic and non real-time traffic. Many of these applications require quality of service (QoS) guarantees. In the literature, not much work is found to provide QoS guarantees based on fault tolerance. Reliability of network links is considered as one of the parameters when providing QoS guarantees to applications. Considering reliability of network links as a parameter for QoS guarantees gives the applications more flexibility in choosing the network resources. A new terminology for dispersity routing is presented which will be useful in providing QoS guarantees based on reliability. Dispersity routing transmits the traffic along multiple paths. Also, a reliable backup resource allocation method is presented that can be used in the context of dispersity routing for fault tolerant real-time networks. An assumption is made that higher capacity is assigned to the links which are more reliable. This will help in availability of resources for a longer period of time. Also, reliability of links is considered to compute multiple paths along with shortest path metric.

Estimation of the defect content is important to enable quality control throughout the software development process. Capture-recapture methods and curve fitting methods have been suggested as tools to estimate the defect content after a review. The methods are highly reliant on the quality of the data. If the number of reviewers is fairly small, it becomes difficult or even impossible to get reliable estimates. This paper presents a comprehensive study of estimates based on two reviewers, using real data from reviews. Three experience-based defect content estimation methods are evaluated vs. methods that use data only from the current review. Some models are possible to distinguish from each other in terms of statistical significance. In order to gain an even better understanding, the best models are compared subjectively. It is concluded that the experience-based methods provide some good opportunities to estimate the defect content after a review.

This paper describes a TV program generation system using digest video scenes that are retrieved from video streams with the program indexes. The key features of the system are: (1) TV programs can be dynamically generated from digest video scenes selected by user preference. (2) Directions can be added using a happiness or sadness level based on the user preferences. (3) Personalized TV programs for an individual viewer can be made. The procedures taken by the system are as follows: (1) Conjunctive expressions between scenes are automatically generated; (2) Emotional expressions are automatically generated by user preference; (3) TV program metaphors are defined; (4) Direction templates corresponding to the metaphors are defined; (5) These expressions and definitions are coded using a markup language, and (6) Contents such as virtual characters and movies are synchronized. The resultant program can be shown on a TV set.
