whitepaper How Cisco Delivers Software Throughout the Enterprise2007-12-18 Cisco Systems
  The constant need to deliver application updates, security patches, and hot fixes to 50,000 workstations around the globe prompted Cisco IT in 2002 to look at developing a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective method of distribution. During 2002 and 2003, Cisco IT developed a compelling business case for upgrading its distribution systems for video, application acceleration through caching of HTTP static content, and HTTP worm and virus blocking. The team also had a solution in mind: Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) Software, a network-based approach that integrated these previously disparate functions. Distributing software via the system was a natural extension of its capabilities.

whitepaper Fuzzy Logic Control Based QoS Management in Wireless Sensor/Actuator Networks2007-12-06 Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI)
  Wireless Sensor/Actuator Networks (WSANs) are emerging rapidly as a new generation of sensor networks. Despite intensive research in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), limited work has been found in the open literature in the field of WSANs. In particular, Quality-of-Service (QoS) management in WSANs remains an important issue yet to be investigated. As an attempt in this direction, this paper develops a fuzzy logic control based QoS management (FLC-QM) scheme for WSANs with constrained resources and in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Taking advantage of the feedback control technology, this scheme deals with the impact of unpredictable changes in traffic load on the QoS of WSANs.
