The frame approach for representing knowledge (ie, collection of frames are linked together
into frame-system) has been suggested by Marvin Minsky. In this approach, the frame …

Fast-recovery from link failures is a well-studied topic in IP networks. Employing fast-
recovery in Ethernet networks is complicated as the forwarding is based on destination MAC …

The stability of data transmission in the network can be maintained by a survivable spanning
connection (SSC), which consists of two not-fully-disjoint spanning trees. Existing works …

Fast Spanning Tree Reconnection (FSTR) is a newly proposed restoration method by us to
handle link failures in Metro Ethernet networks. Compared with other methods existing in the …

The paper focuses on a new class of combinatorial problems which consists in restructuring
of solutions (as sets/structures) in combinatorial optimization. Two main features of the …

As current traffic growth is expected to strain capacity of today׳ s metro network, novel
content distribution architectures where contents are placed closer to the users are being …

The massive growth and proliferation of media, content, and services on the Internet are
driving the need for more network capacity as well as larger networks. With increasing …

Ethernet, a popular technology in IT industry, with high transmission rate, simple
maintenance, and compatibility with different types of links was invented for local and small …
