Recently, we have developed a software able of gathering information on social networks from written texts. This software, the CHAracters and PLaces Interaction Network (CHAPLIN) tool, is implemented in Visual Basic. By means of it, characters and places of a literary work can be extracted from a list of raw words. The software interface helps users to select their names out of this list. Setting some parameters, CHAPLIN creates a network where nodes represent characters/places and edges give their interactions. Nodes and edges are labelled by performances. In this paper, we propose to use CHAPLIN for the analysis a William Shakespeare's play, the famous "Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark". Performances of characters in the play as a whole and in each act of it are given by graphs.Here, we are proposing an example of using CHAPLIN, by applying it to the analysis a William Shakespeare's play, the famous "Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark". After a short discussion of CHAPLIN, the graphs for the overall play and for each act of it will be displayed.This article is published at:

We consider meshed optical transport networks having multiple levels of hierarchy whereby cross-connects in different levels perform multiplexing and demultiplexing functions at different granularities. We present a traffic grooming approach that can be implemented in a centralized or distributed fashion, based on the novel design that takes advantage of algorithm efficiency and a simple threshold mechanism to decide when grooming is economical. Our approach allows nodes to perform grooming and degrooming automatically, which is desired in the next-generation optical network where circuits are setup and torn-down dynamically through signaling. We present several experiments using different network topologies. The results indicate that the flow pattern influences the port requirement behavior, and that the flow thickness influences the optimal value of the threshold.
