Network simulators for next generation networks an overviewijmnct
In this modern era of technology, the advancement and development specifically associated with network
simulators make them a significant tool for enhancing fundamental understanding in the field of next
generation wireless network technologies, worldwide. Network simulators provide consent to investigators
and developers to test diverse scenarios with an ease that are very tricky, intricate or expensive to simulate
in real world. These are proven to be incredibly effective and efficient in developing basic knowledge by
analysing distinct layers of the hypothetical as well as real-life objects. It is of the most important to test a
newly proposed protocol in a real-world before actual placement. Nowadays, most of the research
organizations, universities and viable industries are applying a great sum of effort in the development of
new sophisticated network simulators used for next generation wireless networks. In this paper, some of the
advanced “widely used” wireless network simulators (commercial and non-commercial such as NS-2; NS-
3; OPNET; NetSim; OMNeT++; REAL; J-Sim and QualNet etc.) available in recent years are presented
with their characteristics such as types, interface, availability, network impairments and support for
network protocol. Most importantly, the documented comparative overview helps the researchers and
academicians to choose optimal network simulator as per their interest and requirement.

Construction of Structurally and Stratigraphically Consistent Structural Mode...Laurent Souche
The following slides were presented at the International Petroleum Technology Conference in Kuala Lumpur, in December 2014.
This presentation addresses the general problem of building a geological model from interpretation data. Three topics are discussed in details:
- The interpolation of the model in presence of sparse/incomplete data ;
- The incorporation of dense data, and of complex geological constraints ;
- The improvements that an initial model can bring to geological interpretations.
The technical solution we are proposing is based on the interpolation of a relative geological age attribute in the volume of interest. This is the volume-based modeling (VBM) technique.
A case study detailing the construction of a 3D model from a dataset located offshore Australia is also presented to demonstrate this technique.

[Q-tangled 22] Transformation of modern business driven by Quantum Technologi...DataScienceConferenc1
Quantum technologies (QT) have recently become one of most rapidly emerging fields of science. The term "quantum technologeis" combines several interrelated areas, such as quantum computing, quantum encryption, quantum sensors, etc. – each of which has already brought noticeable results, ready for further development in the form of business products. Today, telecommunications companies seem to be the most promising base for development of QT-based business. We will talk about how QT solves the problems faced by telecom using classical approaches, what a QT-based product is, what future QT applications will be, how modern business will change with the development of QT and what it will look like in 2030.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Principal arguments for multiscale modeling
and ICME The core concept of ICME is to support a
systematic design approach and establish a
digital factory for design – including
experimental, modeling and digitalization
activities.
The arguments being put forth and benefits
being demonstrated are:
ICME time-to-market of new material solutions >
2 times faster than traditional trial-and-error.
Decrease the time required for component
deployment by a factor of 2-3.
Return of investment by a factor of 3 to 9 across
industry sectors.
Decreases in component costs due to the
improved design process.
Enables improved and disruptive discovery of

What is topology optimization?
Finite element based topology optimization is a
process of finding the optimal distribution of
material and voids in a given design space,
dependent on loading and boundary conditions,
such that the resulting structure meets prescribed
performance targets.
Topology optimization can also be performed on
fluid dynamics problems where the flow region is
modified in order to reduce e.g. backflow and
recirculation, leading to a reduction in pressure
drop.
« BACK TO CONTENTS

Topology optimization in product development
Well-suited for early development stages
Can produce design proposals (i.e. “ideas” about how a design within
a given space might look)
Not a tool for fine-tuning
Topology optimization needs only design space, loads and boundary
conditions to be defined no need for detailed or parameterized
CAD geometry models
