MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A VIDEO ON DEMAND NETWORK -thesis
MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A VIDEO ON DEMAND NETWORK IMPLEMENTING ADAPTIVE SOURCE-LEVEL CONTROL AND RELATIVE RATE MARKING FLOW CONTROL FOR THE AVAILABLE BIT RATE SERVICE The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class for the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol was originally designed to manage data traffic. ABR flow control makes no guarantees concerning cell transfer […]
Modeling and Simulation of Self Similar Variable Bit Rate Compressed Video
Variable bit rate (VBR) compressed video is expected to become one of the major loading factors in high-speed packet networks such as ATM-based B-ISDN. However, recent measurements based on long empirical traces (complete movies) revealed that VBR video trafic possesses self-similar (or fractal) characteristics, meaning that the dependence in the trafic stream lasts much longer […]
Students Psychological Type and Success in Different Engineering Programs
A longitudinal study of a seven-year cohort of engineering students at The University of Western Ontario aims to document student academic success in the university engineering program and subsequent satisfaction in the engineering profession in terms of personality type as reported by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Results for the full seven-year cohort show that […]
