• Traffic Management for Highly Interactive Transactional System

  NCTA Technical Papers May 7, 1995

  Management of heterogeneous real-time traffic is a key subject in the development of a full service network for the delivery of multi-media assets. The requirements of MPEG compressed material (currently constant bit-rate) are contrasted with the requirements for other multi-media assets such as graphics, data and programs (variable bit-rate). Traffic management in the Orlando Full Service Network is described in some detail, and is used to demonstrate how both types of traffic can be…

The requirements of MPEG compressed material (currently constant bit-rate) are contrasted with the requirements for other multi-media assets such as graphics, data and programs (variable bit-rate). Traffic management in the Orlando Full Service Network is described in some detail, and is used to demonstrate how both types of traffic can be accommodated on a single ATM network.

• Optimization by Simulated Annealing

  Science 1983

  There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics
  (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a
  finite temperature) and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum
  of a given function depending on many parameters). A detailed analogy with
  annealing tn solids provides a framework for optimization of the properties of very
  large and complex systems. This connection to statistical mechanics exposes…

  and methods.
