Apart from mobile cellular networks, IEEE 802.11-based wireless local area networks
(WLANs) represent the most widely deployed wireless networking technology. With the …

After more than a decade of active research on Quality of Service in IP networks and the
Internet, the majority of IP traffic relies on the conventional best-effort IP service model …

Radio resource management (RRM) plays a major role in Quality of Service (QoS)
provisioning for wireless communication systems. The performance of RRM techniques has …

This paper gives an overview of the methods and models used for the performance
evaluation of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based broad-band integrated services …

Now that cellular networks are being called upon to support real-time interactive multimedia
traffic such as video teleconferencing, these networks must be able to provide their users …

Actions in real world applications typically take place in cluttered environments with large
variations in the orientation and scale of the actor. We present an approach to …

In service oriented systems, Quality of Service (QoS) is a service selection driver. Users
evaluate QoS at run time to address their service invocation to the most suitable provider …

In this paper, we proposed a novel call admission and rate control (CARC) scheme. Unlike
previous research works that are focused on providing service differentiation in the …

The allocation of physical resources to virtual networks, ie, the virtual network embedding
(VNE), is still an on-going research field due to its problem complexity. While many solutions …

This work considers the problem of hosting multiple third-party Internet services in a cost-
effective manner so as to maximize a provider's business objective. For this purpose, we …
