Service Publishing to Support an Efficient Network Selection in an 802.11 Multi-Access Environment
In a multi-access and multi-service 802.11 environment, the problem of providing users with useful service-related information to support a correct, rapid network selection is expected to become a very important issue. This paper proposes a feasible, short-term 802.11-tailored solution for service publishing. This makes it possible for an operator to...

Towards Semantic Services for Sensor-Rich Information Systems
This paper describes the architecture and programming model of a semantic-service-oriented sensor information system platform. It is argued that the key to enabling scalable sensor information access is to define ontology and associated sensor information hierarchy for interpretation of raw data streams. The ontological abstraction allows a sensing system to...

On Detecting Service Violations and Bandwidth Theft in QoS Network Domains
The authors design and evaluate a simple and scalable system to verify Quality of Service QoS in a differentiated services domain. The system uses a distributed edge-to-edge monitoring approach with measurement agents collecting information about delays, losses and throughput, and reporting to a Service Level Agreement Monitor SLAM. The SLAM...

DataLinx Push2Test Helps Cut Support Costs for Internet-Based Services
Due to Network Address Translation NAT by modems or routers, service providers can't easily detect home network configurations or diagnose service problems and outages. Due to this limited visibility, service representatives often must walk subscribers through detailed questions and instructions to obtain diagnostic information before executing a repair. A solution...
