Appropriately provisioning (purchasing) and allocating (pricing) connections remains a difficult problem due to increasing demands and network dynamics. However, connection management is more complex with the deployment of Quality of Service (QoS). This paper describes a scalable connection management strategy for QoS-enabled networks. The management technique maximizes profit, while reducing blocking experienced by users. Important issues regarding demand estimation, connection duration, and pricing intervals, are addressed and analyzed. Simulation results are also provided to demonstrate the viability of the proposed system.}, number={1}, journal={COMPUTER NETWORKS}, author={Fulp, EW and Reeves, DS}, year={2004}, month={Sep}, pages={41–52} }

Using this method, prices are fixed over intervals of time, providing adaptability and predictability. An important issue is the interval duration associated with price updates. While previous research has discussed the effect of interval lengths on congestion control, this paper investigates the economic impact of price interval duration. Smaller intervals yield higher profits since prices are more responsive to changing demands. However, experimental results indicate only a modest profit gain (no more than 5%) is achieved when smaller intervals are used as opposed to larger intervals (for example 100 times longer). Given users preferences toward fewer price changes, smaller price intervals may hold few economic benefits.}, booktitle={Burkhard Stiller ...[et al.] (Eds.), From QoS provisioning to QoS charging: Third COST 263 International Workshop on Quality of Future Internet Services, QofIS 2002 and second International Workshop on Internet Charging and QoS Technologies, ICQT 2002, Zurich, Switzerland, October 16-18, 2002}, publisher={Berlin; New York: Springer}, author={Fulp, E.

Within this hierarchy, the service provider must carefully provision and allocate (price) network resources (e.g. bandwidth). However, determining the appropriate amount to provision and allocate is problematic due to the unpredictable nature of users and market interactions. This paper introduces methods for optimally provisioning and pricing differentiated services. These methods maximizes profit, while maintaining a low blocking probability for each service class. The analytical results are validated using simulation under variable conditions. Furthermore, experimental results will demonstrate that higher profits can be obtained through shorter connection contracts.}, booktitle={Networking-ICN 2001: First international conference, Colmar, France, July 9-13, 2001: Proceedings}, publisher={Berlin; New York: Springer}, author={Fulp, E.

Furthermore, certain applications (multimedia oriented) may require guarantees of resource availability for predictable QoS. This paper introduces a distributed multi-market approach to network resource allocation. In this approach link bandwidth is bought and sold in two types of markets: the reservation market and the spot market. Together, these markets provide bandwidth guarantees and immediate availability. In addition, users have more flexibility when purchasing bandwidth that will maximize their individual QoS. Experimental results, using actual MPEG-compressed traffic, will also demonstrate the rewards and risks associated with purchasing various amounts in the reservation and spot markets.}, booktitle={Networking 2000: Broadband communications, high performance networking, and performance of communication networks / IFIP-TC6/European Commission International Conference, Paris, France, May 2000, proceedings}, publisher={Berlin; New York: Springer}, author={Fulp, E.
