Brief Bio:
David A. Marca is on the Adjunct Faculty at the University of Phoenix. His six books and 24 papers cover e-Business, e-Commerce, business process reengineering, and software engineering. He holds a patent in workflow technology. His last book, entitled “Open Process Frameworks: Patterns for the Adaptive e-Enterprise,” was published by the IEEE in 2006. David is also President of OpenProcess, Inc. – an e-Business consulting firm since 1997 – that helps firms implement workforce management and e-Business solutions. He has consulted in Italy, Norway, Mexico and the United States. David is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and the Project Management Institute (PMI). |

Abstract:
Innovation is often associated with an invention or an application of technologies or theories that radically alters business and the economy. Innovation is a major economic driver, and vice versa. The last 230 years has seen innovation and the economy locked in 80-year cycles. Starting in 2010, innovation and the economy will decrease sharply due to four major, world-wide forces:
a) rapidly decreasing economic growth,
b) increasing demand for custom services,
c) more entrepreneurial work environments, and
d) urban and environmental degradation.
Business will need to alter its offerings, operations and organization to survive, and so e-Business must become an immediate priority. Business must combine internet, wireless, broadband, video, and speech recognition technologies to create an extremely flexible front office while simultaneously creating an extremely efficient back office. The resulting e-Business architecture must have:
a) a customer-based and transaction-based organization,
b) functions for adaptive offerings that anticipate consumers,
c) highly responsive, real-time, operations with no inventory, and
d) value-based front-end, and automated back-end, decision making.

Yaakov Kogan received the Ph.D. and Doctor of Sciences degrees from the USSR Academy of
Sciences in 1969 and 1987, respectively. He joined the Network Design and Performance Analysis
Department at AT&T in 1993 where he is currently a Lead Member of Technical Staff. During 1989 –
1993 he was a professor at the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management of the Technion
University. After receiving the Ph.D. he worked on performance analysis and measurements of
computer and communication systems and developed nonparametric and asymptotic methods for
solving stochastic models of large dimension. He published 5 books and more than 100 papers. Dr.
Kogan is a member of IFIP Working Group 7.3 on Computer Systems Modeling since 1979 and IEEE
Fellow since 2001. His recent activities include performance and reliability analysis of large IP and
Frame Relay networks. |

Abstract:
As the Internet becomes an increasingly critical communication infrastructure for business, education
and civil society in general, the need to understand and systematically analyze its reliability becomes
progressively more important. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) faces a challenge of providing
service that meets customer expectations in terms of price and reliability while continuously reducing
its cost. This implies increasing the low speed port concentration at the edge and using the highest
available speed in the core. In fact, changes in Internet technology (particularly software) are
significantly more frequent and less rigorously tested than used to be in circuit-switching telephone
networks. Naturally, the next generation of switches, routers, line-cards and transmission links is
initially less reliable than the previous generation at the end of its life cycle. An ISP can wait until the
technology will mature but then it faces the risk of losing customers and revenues in a situation where
many customers care more about low prices than claims of better quality or advanced services [1]. A
large ISP has to meet high reliability requirements for critical applications like financial transactions,
Voice over IP and Internet gaming. This results in variety of redundancy solutions at the edge and
resilient core which is shared by traffic from all applications.
In this paper, we review redundancy solutions for eliminating or reducing the customer impact in
typical failure modes in IP networks and present constructive metrics for evaluating and improving the
reliability of commercial IP networks. |
