Standards which are optimized for very short measuring times must operate for periods of a year or more without interruption to be considered for many applications. This is because a short-term frequency standard is typically utilized to remove the short-term variations of an atomic standard. This includes both the Cae... |
Deployment of innovative new networking services requires support by network providers. Since economic motivation plays an important role for network providers, it is critical that a network architecture intrinsically considers economic relationships. We present the design of a protocol that associates access to networ... |
