	abstract = {In this paper, we present a framework for supporting intelligent fault and performance management for communication networks.Belief networks are taken as the basis for knowledge representation and inference under evidence. When using belief networks for diagnosis, we identify two questions: When can I say that I get the right diagnosis and stop? If right diagnosis has not been obtained yet, which test should I choose next? For the first question, we define the notion of right diagnosis via the introduction of intervention networks. For the second question, we formulate the decision making procedure using the framework of partially observable Markov decision processes. A heuristic dynamic strategy is proposed to solve this problem and the effectiveness is shown via simulation.},

	abstract = {The evolution of satellite applications has created new traffic patterns on satellite links. That is because the number of users demanding service from satellite links has increased tremendously. The result is a more sophisticated use of resources. One way of accomplishing that is by multicasting, which is a natural extension of the broadcast nature of the satellite medium. Numerous existing satellite applications demand reliable delivery of the transmitted data, which is opposed to the unreliable nature of multicast transmission due to the error prone satellite medium. We have designed a number of reliable multicasting protocols which are based on forward error correction (FEC) and air caching. The combination of those two techniques results in a significant boost in the performance of reliable multicasting protocols.},

	author = {Zhang, Chang.},
	year = {2001},
	month = {10/2001},
	abstract = {The EWMA run-to-run (RtR) controller is easy to deploy and can effectively deal with small disturbances. But it can not compensate for shifts (step disturbances) and large model errors well. The common solution to such a problem is to use the SPC to detect the occurrence of a shift and them remove the cause of the shift or apply a rapid mode. In this paper, a novel approach to handle shifts and large model errors is proposed: the SVR-MOVE controller is used to compensate for a shift when it is detected. The SVR-MOVE controller is very efficient to handle shifts and large model errors. On the other hand, a well-tuned EWMA controller may outperform a coarsely tuned SVR-MOVE controller when the disturbances are smooth drifts. It is much easier to tune the parameters of the EWMA controller than that of the SVR-MOVE controller. Our new controller, named ESET, has the advantage of both controllers. Simulation shows that the ESET outperforms the EWMA controller and the SVR-MOVE controller in most situations.},
