On the complexity of QoS routing by Van Mieghem, P., Kuipers, F.A.

“…We present SAMCRA, an exact QoS routing algorithm that guarantees to find a feasible path if such a path exists. Because SAMCRA is an exact algorithm, its…”

A realist partner for Linda: confirming a theoretical hypothesis more than its observational sub-hypothesis by Kuipers, Theo A. F.

“…It is argued that the conjunction effect has a disjunctive analog of strong interest for the realism-antirealism debate. It is possible that a proper theory is…”
