Traditionally, research on routing and wavelength assignment over wavelength-routed WDM
networks is concerned with immediate reservation (IR) demands. An IR demand typically …

New e-Science and grid applications require the coordination of geographically distributed
scientific instruments along with data and computing resources. Due to the quality of service …

Performance of data streaming applications is co-determined by both networking and
computing resources, and therefore they should be co-scheduled and co-allocated in an …

Providing QoS for big data applications requires a way to reserve computing and networking
resources in advance. Within advance reservation framework, a multi-domain scheduling …

Grid data streaming applications are novel from others in that they require real-time data
supply while the processing is going on, which necessitates harmonious collaborations …

Conventional approaches to designing one signaling protocol for each type of traffic will not
be scalable, economical and efficient when new applications emerge, each with significantly …

The advance reservation (AR) of connections is becoming an increasingly important
requirement for many emerging commercial bandwidth and scientific computing users …

As grid applications evolve, the need for user controlled network infrastructure is apparent in
order to support emerging dynamic and interactive services. Due to the inherent bandwidth …

This thesis deals with issues of collaborative environments orchestration. We show that
manual orchestration of collaborative environments is not only extremely cumbersome but …

Advance reservation is a technique employed so that a request is guaranteed 100%
availability of the resource it applied for sometimes earlier. In this paper we introduce the …
