Receiver-driven Layered Multicast

by Steven McCanne, Van Jacobson, Martin Vetterli , 1996
"... State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-adaptation performs poorly in a heterogeneous multicast environment because there is no single target rate — the conflicti ..."

as well as dynamic variations in network capacity (i.e., congestion). We describe the RLM protocol and evaluate its performance with a preliminary simulation study that characterizes user-perceived quality by assessing loss rates over multiple time scales. For the configurations we simulated, RLM results

Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation

by Kenneth E. Train , 2002
"... This book describes the new generation of discrete choice meth-ods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logi ..."

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:

by Kevin P Murphy , Yair Weiss , Michael I Jordan - Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI, , 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

Rather the same structure with different parameter values may oscillate or exhibit stable be havior. For all our simulations, we found that when loopy

Modeling and performance analysis of bittorrentlike peer-to-peer networks

by Dongyu Qiu, R. Srikant - In SIGCOMM , 2004
"... In this paper, we develop simple models to study the performance of BitTorrent, a second generation peerto-peer (P2P) application. We first present a simple fluid model and study the scalability, performance and efficiency of such a file-sharing mechanism. We then consider the built-in incentive mec ..."

MODELING AND PRELIMINARY SIMULATION STUDIES FOR PACKET-BASED PRECEDENCE AND PREEMPTION FOR FCS COMMUNICATIONS

by unknown authors
"... In military networks, there had long been a requirement that some traffic be given precedence over other traffic. In the past, this has applied primarily to connection-oriented communication such as voice calls. With the advent of all-IP networks, applying the requirement to connectionless data, whi ..."

, while maintaining QoS characteristics necessary for the correct operation of applications, presents challenges. In this paper, we describe our preliminary study of an approach to handling high-precedence IP traffic node-by-node. 1.

Assessing coping strategies: A theoretically based approach

by Charles S. Carver, Michael F. Scheier, Jagdish Kumari Weintraub - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1989
"... We developed a multidimensional coping inventory to assess the different ways in which people respond to stress. Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seek-ing ..."

Effects of the Fibroblast-myocyte in Cardiac Electromechanical Coupling: A Preliminary Simulation Study

by Heqing Zhan, Ling Xia, Ran Huang
"... The heart consists of myocytes, vasculature cells and connective tissue cells. In this study, two ventricular electromechanical models were coupled with the fibroblast model. At the cellular level, Niederer-Smith (NS) model of rat ventricular myocyte and ten Tusscher model of human ventricular myocy ..."

DART: Directed automated random testing

by Patrice Godefroid, Nils Klarlund, Koushik Sen - In Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI , 2005
"... We present a new tool, named DART, for automatically testing software that combines three main techniques: (1) automated extraction of the interface of a program with its external environment using static source-code parsing; (2) automatic generation of a test driver for this interface that performs ..."

Together, these three

TCP Vegas: New techniques for congestion detection and avoidance

by Lawrence S. Brakmo, Sean W. O’malley, Larry L. Peterson - In SIGCOMM , 1994
"... Vegas is a new implementation of TCP that achieves between 40 and 70 % better throughput, with one-fifth to onehalf the losses, as compared to the implementation of TCP in the Reno distributionof BSD Unix. This paper motivates and describes the three key techniques employed by Vegas, and presents th ..."
