    Dear Wang, Re: Link Stability Estimation Based on Link Connectivity Changes in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks I have not been able to assess if this is an author version peer-reviewed or is it an author version non peer reviewed. Could you please clarify this so I can proceed to add your paper to Spiral. Spiral digital repository only accept peer-reviewed papers. 30/11/12 author has confirmed peer reviewe

    An initial exploration of the link relationship between UK university Web sites.

    No full text
    Aggregates of links are of interest to information scientists in the same way as citation counts are: as potential sources of data from which new knowledge can be mined. Builds on the recent discovery of a correlation between a Web link count measure and the research quality of British universities by applying a range of multivariate statistical techniques to counts of links between pairs of universities. This represents an initial attempt at developing an understanding of this phenomenon. Extracts plausible results. Also identifies outliers in the data by the techniques, some of which were verified by being tracked down to identifiable Web phenomena. This is an important outcome because successful anomaly identification is a precondition to more effective analysis of this kind of data. The identification of groupings is encouraging evidence that Web links between universities can be mined for significant results, although it is clear that more methodological development is needed, if any but the simplest patterns are to be extracted. Finally, based upon the types of patterns extracted, argues that none of the methods used are capable of fully analysing link structures on their own

    Optimization of Robust Header Compression for Aeronautical Communication

    No full text
    The ceaselessly growing requests for communication capacity in the aeronautical sector will soon result in an excess of the current Air Traffic Control (ATC) capacity limitations. To cope with this issue, current research activities, such as the EU FP7 SANDRA project, investigate new seamless IPv6-based network solutions which integrate the different aeronautical services. These solutions will generate a significant protocol overhead due to all the required network functionalities. Within this paper, the focus is on the insertion of RObust Header Compression (ROHC) in the SANDRA architecture to reduce the protocol overheads. Performance evaluations for the usage of ROHC in the aeronautical context are provided and a strong emphasis of this work is put on a discussion on how ROHC parameters can be optimized for operational aeronautical communication

    In this video by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Center, Sandra Porter, Co-PI of Bio-Link, gives a talk about Bio-Link's efforts to connect and collect data through social media, and ways to connect to Bio-Link, through their website, and more. The goals of the Bio-Link website are to share information, recruit students, help students find jobs, and to present a professional image to industry. The presentation starts with some background and rationale for their experiments, then results of their experiments with social media are presented, finally, the presentation concludes with ways to connect. This presentation was given at the national Hi-Tec conference in 2011.The recording run-time is 44:05.Â

    Preserving Linked Data Integrity on the Semantic Web by application of techniques from Hypermedia

    No full text
    This report presents a Literature Review of past work in Hypertext link integrity and current work in the emerging area of Semantic Web link integrity. A design and prototype for a system which applies some ideas from Hypertext link integrity to the Semantic Web is presented alongside plans for future enhancements of this system. In addition other possible avenues of research regarding ideas from traditional Hypertext link integrity are briefly discussed

    Effective link operation duration: a new routing metric for mobile ad hoc networks

    No full text
    The dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is caused by node mobility and fading of the wireless link. Link reliability is often measured by the estimated lifetime\ud and the stability of a link. In this paper we propose that the stability of a link can be represented by the time duration in which the two nodes at each end of a link are within each other’s transmission range and the fading is above an acceptable threshold. A novel routing metric, called effective link operation duration (ELOD), is proposed and implemented into AODV (AODV-ELOD). Simulation results show that proposed AODVELOD outperforms both AODV and the Flow Oriented Routing Protocol (FORP)

    Experimental validation of nonlinear Fourier transform-based Kerr-nonlinearity identification over a 1600km SSMF link

    No full text
    Recently, a nonlinear Fourier transform-based Kerr-nonlinearity identification algorithm was demonstrated for a 1000 km NZDSF link with accuracy of 75%. Here, we demonstrate an accuracy of 99% over 1600 km SSMF. Reasons for improved accuracy are discussed.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Sander Wahl

    Data Integrity Problems in an Open Hypermedia Link Service

    No full text
    A hypermedia link service is system which stores the information describing hypertext links in a database which is separate from the data content over which the links are intended to operate. One of the first open hypermedia link services was Microcosm, which takes this philosophy to the extreme, storing not only the links in a separate database, but also the information about the endpoints of the links. The most important advantage of such an organisation is that the system remains open so that hypertext functionality may be extended to third party applications. The first part of this thesis describes the background to open hypermedia link services and describes the Microcosm system, which was developed by the Multimedia Research Group at the University of Southampton. The major problem with storing all the information about links separately from the content is that such a scheme introduces many opportunities for the introduction of inconsistencies and the loss of integrity of the hypermedia data model. The second part of this thesis examines these problems, and proposes a number of solutions. It concludes that no one solution can resolve all the problems, and that in order to ensure integrity it is necessary to impose some conditions which limit the degree of openness
