But the disparity may be most striking when it comes to communications bandwidth - the basic information carrying capacity of a network to transmit phone calls and bits of data.
Mechanism design has been used to model negotiations and taxation, voting and elections, to design auctions such as those for communications bandwidth, elections and labor talks and for pricing stock options.
These anonymous networks can be accessed even from devices with low computing power and low communications bandwidth.
Bean could make requests for more information, but that would require the library computer to make requisitions and use communications bandwidth that would have to be justified.
In computer science, scheduling is the method by which threads, processes or data flows are given access to system resources (e.g. processor time, communications bandwidth).
This system was based upon Titan's enhanced sensor net, and depended upon virtually every bit of communications bandwidth possessed by Titan and the entire towing convoy.
Dependent on this, a wide communications bandwidth may be required to pass the relevant data to a point where it can be fused.
Ah, they found our communications bandwidth.
Certainly the Cisco alliance, if its technology proves viable, will be in a position to compete for the many companies and consumers that seem to have developed an insatiable appetite for Internet data communications bandwidth.
Size and cost constraints on sensor nodes result in corresponding constraints on resources such as energy, memory, computational speed and communications bandwidth.
