Changing Paradigm in The Global LNG Market: Opportunities And Risks For Major Suppliers in The Gulf Region by Sung, Jinsok

“…As competition in the market is reaching unprecedented level, price competitiveness, credit ratings of sellers and ability to supply at desired timing are more valued than ever.Strengthening competitions will not seriously affect the position of Qatar in the market due to following reasons: (1) Qatar LNG has one of the lowest break-even price (2) Swing supplier - Qatar can send LNG to any major buyers in the world (3) Exporter with proven track record (4) Qatar is located ideally from new demand centers, South Asia, South East Asia, Gulf countries and LNG demand in Europe is growing rapidly. …”

Joint coding for proactive caching with changing file popularities by Amir M.

“…We show that proactively and constantly updating the MU finite caches and jointly encoding the delivery of different demanded files to the MUs over different time slots minimize the delivery sum rate. We propose two different schemes for a two different scenarios, where the file popularities over time can be either arbitrary increasing or decreasing for the first scheme and decreases with demand for the second scheme. …”
