Soviet and Post-Soviet Telecommunications: An Industry under Reform
Authors: Robert Wellington Campbell
Venue:  (1995)

:A crucial link in post-Soviet economic reconstruction will be telecommunications, which all modern economies must have in order to thrive. How ready are the telecommunications systems in the countries of the former USSR to meet the challenge? This book shows that the system inherited from the Soviet period falls far short of what is needed and describes the many changes in policies and institutional structures that will have to be made if the system is to be modernized and expanded. Robert Campbell briefly outlines the origins and development of Soviet telecommunications, assessing its organizational and technological capacities as well as its potential for further growth. He critically examines the effects that specific policies have had and explores the ways in which the structures of the old Soviet economy and telecommunications system continue to shape the current development of industries and markets. Campbell provides an informative analysis of the progress made so far toward the goals of a healthy telecommunications system and a modern, market-oriented economy.

Authors: Hans Delfs, Helmut Knebl
Venue:  (2002)

Due to the rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange, information security has become a crucial issue in industry, business, and administration. Modern cryptography provides essential techniques for securing information and protecting data. In the first part, this book covers the key concepts of cryptography on an undergraduate level, from encryption and digital signatures to cryptographic protocols. Essential techniques are demonstrated in protocols for key exchange, user identification, electronic elections and digital cash. In the second part, more advanced topics are addressed, such as the bit security of one-way functions and computationally perfect pseudo random bit generators. The security of cryptographic schemes is a central topic. Typical examples of provably secure encryption and signature schemes and their security proofs are given. Though particular attention is given to the mathematical foundations, no special background in mathematics is presumed. The necessary algebra, number theory and probability theory are included in the appendix. Each chapter closes with a collection of exercises. Answers to the exercises are provided on the Web page for this book.

Active Template Library: A Developer's Guide, 1st edition
Authors: Tom Armstrong
Venue:  (1998)

:The Active Template Library -- fast, flexible, and reusable -- is quickly replacing the aging Microsoft Foundation Class for programmers developing distributed applications anywhere in a networking environment. Now, instead of building every application from scratch, this developers guide to the Active Template Library (ATL) shows you the inside track on using C++ and C++ templates to effectively build software components to use again and again. Beginning with the foundations of ATL, by clearly explaining how C++ templates work within the Component Object Model (COM) architecture, Active Template Library: A Developer's Guide leads you step-by-step through more advanced elements of ATL programming: containment, automation support, connection points, component persistence, and COM threading. Eventually youll be putting ATL to work by converting MFC controls, implementing asynchronous downloads, and building your own custom transparent controls. An invaluable appendix on Visual C++ native COM support ties ATL techniques into Microsofts programming library even further. Software developer Tom Armstrong simplifies the mystique surrounding the ATL in readily understandable language that eases your transition into ATL, or improves and refines your ATL skills. And the book is supported by the authors own Web site, which features all the examples and code from the book, as well as updates and additional coverage to keep you up to speed on the evolution of the ATL.
Flexible bandwidth allocation in high-capacity packet switches
Authors: Aleksandra Smiljanić
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2002)

This paper introduces a protocol for scheduling of packets in high-capacity switches, termed weighted sequential greedy scheduling (WSGS). WSGS is a simple, greedy algorithm that uses credits to reserve bandwidth for input-output pairs. By using a pipeline technique, WSGS implemented by the current technology readily supports a switching capacity exceeding 1 Tb/s. Admission control is straightforward, allowing bandwidth reservations on a submillisecond time scale. Namely, the central controller readily determines if the newly requested bandwidth can be assigned to the given input-output pair. We have shown that a newly requested bandwidth should be assigned if both the input and output have enough capacity, which requires checking of only two inequalities. Therefore, WSGS is well suited for switching in data networks where sessions might require high bit rates and last for a short time. The WSGS allows bandwidth reservations with fine granularity, e.g., bandwidth can be reserved for individual web sessions, video streams, etc.
Reimer's inequality and tardos' conjecture
Authors: Clifford Smyth
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) Let f: {0,1}n &rarr; {0,1} be a boolean function. For &egr;&roe; 0 De(f) be the minimum depth of a decision tree for f that makes an error for &xie;&egr; fraction of the inputs &khar; &Egr; {0,1}n. We also make an appropriate definition of the approximate certificate complexity of f, C&egr;(f). In particular, D0(f) and C0(f) are the ordinary decision and certificate complexities of f. It is known that $D_0(f) \leq (C_0(f))^2$. Answering a question of Tardos from 1989, we show that for all $\Ge > 0$ there exists a $\Gd' > 0$ such that for all $0 \leq \Gd < \Gd'$, we have $D_\Ge(f) \leq K (C_\Gd(f))^2$ where $K = K(\Ge,\Gd) > 0$ is a constant independent of f. The algorithm used in the proof is modeled after those developed by R. Impagliazzo and S. Rudich for use in other problems.

Simulation output analysis via dynamic batch means
Authors: Yingchieh Yeh, Bruce Schmeiser
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper is focused on estimating the quality of the sample mean from a steady-state simulation experiment with consideration of computational efficiency, memory requirement, and statistical efficiency. In addition, we seek methods that do not require knowing run length a priori. We develop an algorithm of nonoverlapping batch means that is implemented in fixed memory by dynamically changing both batch size and number of batches as the simulation runs. The algorithm, denoted by DBM for Dynamic Batch Means, requires computation time similar to other batch means data-collection methods, despite its fixed memory requirement. To achieve satisfactory statistical efficiency of DBM, we propose two associated estimators, VT B M and VP B M, of the variance of the sample mean and investigate their statistical properties. Our study shows that the estimator VP B M with parameter w = 1 is, as a practical matter, better than the other proposed estimators.
Asynchrony in parallel computing: from dataflow to multithreading
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

The paper presents an overview of the parallel computing models, architectures, and research projects that are based on asynchronous instruction scheduling. It starts with pure dataflow computing models and presents an historical development of several ideas (i.e. single-token-per-arc dataflow, tagged-token dataflow, explicit token store, threaded dataflow, large-grain dataflow, RISC dataflow, cycle-by-cycle interleaved multithreading, block interleaved multithreading, simultaneous multithreading) that resulted in modern multithreaded superscalar processors. The paper shows that unification of von Neumann and dataflow models is possible and preferred to treating them as two unrelated, orthogonal computing paradigms. Today's dataflow research incorporates more explicit notions of state into the architecture, and von Neumann models using many dataflow techniques to improve the latency hiding aspects of modern multithreaded systems.

Generalized processor sharing with heterogeneous traffic classes
Authors: Sem Borst, Michel Mandjes, Miranda van Uitert
Venue: ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (2001)

We consider a system with two heterogeneous traffic classes, one having light-tailed characteristics, the other one exhibiting heavy-tailed properties. The two traffic classes are served in accordance with the Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) discipline. GPS-based scheduling algorithms, such as Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ), have emerged as an important mechanism for achieving service differentiation in integrated-services networks.We determine the workload asymptotics of the light-tailed class for the situation where its GPS weight is larger than its traffic intensity. The GPS mechanism ensures that the workload is bounded above by that in an isolated system with the light-tailed class served in isolation at a constant rate equal to its GPS weight. We show that the workload distribution is in fact asymptotically equivalent to that in the isolated system, multiplied with a certain pre-factor, which accounts for the interaction with the heavy-tailed class. Specifically, the pre-factor represents the probability that the heavy-tailed class is backlogged long enough for the light-tailed class to reach overflow. The results provide crucial qualitative insight in the typical overflow scenario.
A relational algebra for data/metadata integration in a federated database system
Authors: Catharine Wyss, Dirk Van Gucht
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

The need for interoperability among databases has increased dramatically with the proliferation of readily available DBMS and application software. Even within a single organization, data from disparate relational databases must be integrated. A framework for interoperability in a federated system of relational databases should be inherently relational, so that it can use existing techniques for query evaluation and optimization where possible and retain the key features of SQL, such as a modest complexity and ease of query formulation. Our contribution is a logspace relational algebra, the Meta-Algebra (MA), for data/metadata integration among relational databases containing semantically similar information in schematically disparate formats. The MA is a simple yet powerful extension of the classical relational algebra (RA). The MA has a natural declarative counterpart, the Meta-Query Language (MQL), which we briefly describe. We state a result showing MQL and the MA are computationally equivalent, which enables us to algebratize MQL queries in fundamentally the same way as ordinary SQL queries. This algebratization in turn enables us to use MA equivalences to facilitate the application of known query optimization techniques to MQL query evaluation.

XML and free text
Authors: Ken Roger Riggs
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

We show several problems with marking free text, text that is either natural language or semigrammatical but unstructured. These problems prevent well-formed XML from marking text for readily available meaning. A solution is proposed to mark meaning in free text that is consistent with the intended simplicity of XML versus SGML.

Manufacturing sypply chain management: distributed supply chain simulation across enterprise boundaries
Authors: Boon Ping Gan, Li Liu, Sanjay Jain, Stephen J. Turner, Wentong Cai, Wen-Jing Hsu
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The effective practice of supply chain management (SCM) is crucial to improve corporations' competitive advantage. Many corporations have built simulation models to facilitate the application of simulation in designing, evaluating, and optimizing their supply chain. Traditionally, a supply chain involves only a single enterprise with multiple facilities and distribution centers. Hence, sharing of detailed simulation models is not a problem in this scenario. But in recent years, the scope of SCM has evolved to cross the enterprise boundaries. Applying simulation in designing, evaluating, and optimizing the supply chain becomes more difficult since the participating corporations might not be willing to share their simulation models with partners. In this paper, distributed simulation techniques are presented as an enabling technology that allows corporations to construct a cross enterprise simulation while hiding model details within the enterprise. This can be realized by either building the simulation on top of the Runtime Infrastructure of the High Level Architecture or building the simulation on top of a customized distributed discrete event simulation protocol. These alternative approaches are compared in terms of their performance and interoperability. The comparison of the performance is done through a benchmarking test of a semiconductor supply chain model.
