Vehicular networks are intended to support a safer and more comfortable driving experience both through vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and, even more interesting, vehicle-to-vehicle ad-hocnetworking. In the latter case, the focus will be on getting a content of interest from a specific geographic region, rather…

As modern service systems are pressured to provide competitive prices via cost-effective capacity planning, especially in the paradigm of cloud computing, service level agreements (SLAs) end up becoming ever more sophisticated, i.e., fulfilling targets of different percentiles of response times.…

Three different dispersion compensation methods based on Super Structure Fiber Bragg Gratting and injection DFB laser were introduced. Firstly, a SSFBG with nonlinearity group delay spectrum was designed to achieve tunable dispersion compensation. Secondly, a novel approach to realizing single…

With the massive adoption of cloud-based services, high energy consumption and carbon footprint of cloud infrastructures have become a major concern in IT industry. Consequently, many governments and IT advisory organizations have urged IT stakeholders (i.e., cloud provider and cloud…

In this paper, analysis of a dual-band filter using hairpin resonator is presented. By geometrical modifications of a hairpin resonator, bands stop and band pass characteristics are observed in the frequency spectrum. The variations of the geometrical parameters have been…

Quadcopters are highly maneuverable and can provide an effective means for an agile dynamic positioning of sensors such as cameras. In this paper we propose a method for the self-positioning of a team of camera-equipped quadcopters (flying cameras) around a…
