We extend the service abstraction in the Open Grid Services Architecture citeogsa for Quality
of Service (QoS) properties. The realization of QoS often requires mechanisms such as …

We present A-GAP, a novel protocol for continuous monitoring of network state variables,
which aims at achieving a given monitoring accuracy with minimal overhead. Network state …

Over the last decade, the number, size and complexity of large-scale networked systems has
been growing fast, and this trend is expected to accelerate. The best known example of a …

The ability to create views of a network on a fast time scale becomes increasingly important
as the complexity and diversity of networks increase. These views, which combine …

We present an efficient middleware-based fault-tolerant Ethernet (FTE) developed for
process control networks. Our approach is unique and practical in the sense that it requires …

In this paper, we propose a new gossip-based signaling dissemination method for the Next
Steps in Signaling protocol family. In more detail, we propose to extend the General Internet …

Network search makes operational data available in real-time to management applications.
In contrast to traditional monitoring, neither the data location nor the data format needs to be …

We present A-GAP, a novel protocol for continuous monitoring of network state variables,
which aims at achieving a given monitoring accuracy with minimal overhead. Network state …

While there is agreement on the drawbacks of centralized management, many approaches
that address those do not scale well to large networks. We believe that effective …

One of the major challenges in ambient networking is to provide interworking between
heterogeneous and dynamically changing networks. This paper presents a novel network …
