CBI: a scalable energy-efficient protocol for metro/access networks

This paper presents a scalable energy-efficient MAC/PHY protocol for building a metro/access network. The proposed cascaded bit-interleaving (CBI) protocol extends the previously reported bit-interleaving concept to a multi-level paradigm. Moreover, a 40Gb/s 3-level electrical duobinary based physical layer scheme has been proposed for cost and energy saving, especially for end terminals. We compared two implementation approaches in terms of optical budget and transmission penalties. The initial estimate from the proof-ofconcept full-custom ASIC design shows that an ultra-low power metro/access network can be realized

An integrated intranet and dynamic database application for International Program Office at Naval Postgraduate School

Intranet technologies like web based databases, groupware and e-mail represent the next major stage in the evolution of computing and it is greatly expected that they will increase the return on information technology investments. Almost every organization can benefit from an intranet or extranet. Some of the major benefits of an intranet can be counted as cost effectiveness, simplified system integration and growth, easy extension into WAN, enhanced security, minimized application development and deployment cost, minimized cost of deploying client - server solutions, minimized network management and support costs. Since International Programs Office (IPO) has several computers connected to a LAN and has an IP address, and one of its tasks is to maintain the International Students' records, they should have a good Database System that can be accessed by all the users of the office. To solve the inefficiency and ineffectiveness that relates to database system that depends on International Students Assistant, we recommend that IPO has to have an intranet system with a dynamic database connectivity. Intranet may solve the communication problem to share information within the organization and may provide better services for the other usershttp://www.archive.org/details/integratedintran00sumaMajor, Indonesian Air ForceLieutenant JG, Turkish NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited
