Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Using Neural-Fuzzy In Atm Network, Yan Sing Chua

Student Works (2000-2009)

Dynamic bandwidth allocation is becoming one of the crucial issues in the design and research in the computer network. This is due to the continuous increasing demand of intensive applications that require more bandwidth while retaining higher quality. Dynamic bandwidth allocation utilises the current network state information to optimise the bandwidth distribution. The state information can be gathered through prediction using past data and measurement on current state. Agility and flexibility of dynamic bandwidth allocation using Neural-Fuzzy has the advantage that it can adapt to the state changes of the network. ATM network carries heterogeneous traffic and this causes the …

Network Simulation And Performance Evalution Of Ip Multicast Using Pim-Dm In Umjanetsim, Jui Hiangh Teoh

Student Works (2000-2009)

The demand for multicast capabilities in IP networks is growing very rapidly. New applications that take advantage of IP Multicast are being introduced constantly. Therefore, IP Multicast is regarded as one of the most important technologies in IP networks today.

Mpls Vpn Simulation Using Mp-Ibgp, Tan Fong Ang

Student Works (2000-2009)

As Internet traffic continues to increase, companies are demanding greater speeds and better services to disseminate information to their customers, partners and employees. In order to provide reliable services and to support a variety of secure communications among a wide range of locations, Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network (MPLS VPN) has been introduced. MPLS is an emerging technology that aims to address many of the existing issues associated with packet forwarding in today's internetworking environment. Whereas, VPN provides secure private connections through public infrastructure amongst multiple locations.

Observable Behavior For Implicit User Modeling: A Framework And User Studies, Jinmook Kim, Douglas W. Oard

Faculty Publications

This paper presents a framework for observable behavior that can be used as a basis for user modeling, and it reports the results of a pair of user studies that examine the joint utility of two specific behaviors. User models can be constructed by hand, or they can be learned automatically based on feedback provided by the user about the relevance of documents that they have examined. By observing user behavior, it is possible to obtain implicit feedback without requiring explicit relevance judgments. Four broad categories of potentially observable behavior are identified: examine, retain, reference, and annotate, and examples of …
