  • Development of planning education in postcommunist Poland.

    Publication

    - Year 2018

    Although programs in spatial planning at university level have been developed in Poland only after the transformation of 1989, their roots can be traced back to the first half of the twentieth century when the first university departments with a focus on urban and regional planning were established and courses offered. Today, planning education in Poland presents a robust yet dynamic picture with degrees offered by a range of...

  • Toward Fast Calculation of Communication Paths for Resilient Routing

    Publication

    - NETWORKS - Year 2017

    Utilization of alternate communication paths is a common technique to provide protection of transmission against failures of network nodes/links. However, a noticeable delay is encountered when calculating the relevant sets of disjoint paths using the available algorithms (e.g., using Bhandari’s approach). This, in turn, may have a serious impact on the ability of a network to serve dynamic demands...

    Traditional approaches to provide classes of resilient service take the physical network availability as an input and then deploy redundancy and restoration techniques at various layers, often without full knowledge of mappings between layers. This makes it hard (and often inefficient) to ensure the high availability required by critical services which are typically a small fraction of the total traffic. Here, the innovative technique...
