      Fuzzy backward congestion notification (FBCN) congestion control in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks 

      Pitsillides, Andreas; Sekercioglu, Y. Ahmet; Ramamurthy, Gopalakrishnan (IEEE, 1995)
      In this paper, we study the performance of a fuzzy control scheme as a first step to develop better control strategies for avoiding congestion and attaining high link utilisation in ATM based networks. Due to the complexity ...

      Hierarchical approach for the bandwidth allocation, management and control in B-ISDN 

      Herzberg, Meir; Pitsillides, Andreas (Publ by IEEE, 1993)
      This paper adopts a hierarchical multilayer/ multilevel approach for the allocation, management and control of B-ISDN resources. This approach seems appropriate to present a vertical decomposition of control layers, having ...

      How valuable are shopbots? 

      Markopoulos, Panos M.; Kephart, J. O. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2002)
      The price information that shopbots provide to buyers is clearly valuable, as it enables them to make a better informed choice of product and vendor. We quantify the value of this price information to the buyer in terms ...
