Today, it seems more and more required to create network slices dynamically and on-demand due to the emergence of cloud services, 5G wireless and IoT technology. It becomes possible to create virtual networks over physical networks easily by using such technology as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). However, when creating end-to-end network slices over some...
The promise of smart cities offers the potential to change the way we live, and refers to the integration of IoT systems for people-centred applications, together with the collection and processing of data, and associated decision making. Central to the realization of this are wearable and autonomous computing systems. There are considerable challenges that exist in this space that require research...
Over the next years the demand of wireless communication will increase tremendously. More and more mobile end devices require a high data rate connection e.g. to a smart home (Internet of Things, IoT) or to the internet. The radiation power pattern of base stations and mobile end devices will completely change for the 5G technology. Therefore the electromagnetic exposure especially to human body will...
In recent years, Internet of things has attracted attention worldwide due to the recent technological improvements. The main motive of Internet of things (IoT) is to make devices in the world to be connected through internet, so that they can share information automatically. However, many security problems have emerged. Therefore, a great deal of research work is to propose solutions to increase the...
In this paper, we present our findings related to the problem of localization and visualization of a sound source placed in the same room as the listener. This is a part of a larger research effort devoted to studying the effects of synesthesia—the act of experiencing one sense modality as another, e.g., sound as flashes of colors—in virtual reality. Towards that end, we apply a series of recently...
Over the past two decades, implementing routing lookups in dedicated hardware has been accepted as an undisputable gold standard in core Internet routers due to ever increasing performance requirements and unabated global routing table growth. Several recent proposals depart from that line of thinking and suggest that software algorithms running on commodity multi-core CPUs might (again) become well...
Our personal data is now more valuable than ever. The uncontrolled growth of internet-centered services has led us to accept many compromises about how we share it. In the era of Internet of Things, personal data is collected continuously. Now, more than ever, we are in need of privacy-preserving applications where users always retain control of their personal data. In this paper, we present a secure...
The paper reviews the radiation phenomena in classical electromagnetics in terms of microscopic and macroscopic approach, respectively. First, the radiation from an accelerated charged particle is outlined featuring the concept of radiation reaction force. Then the Pocklington integro-differential equation for dipole antennas is derived which is followed by the details related to the numerical solution...
In contemporary digital communications design, two major challenges should be addressed: adaptability and flexibility. The system should be capable of flexible and efficient use of all available spectrums and should be adaptable to provide efficient support for the diverse set of service characteristics. These needs imply the necessity of limit-achieving and flexible channel coding techniques, to...
Within the frame of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, industrial cyber-physical production systems (ICPS) have experienced a significant progress. To this end, Industry 4.0 has brought upon an improved, flexible, and cost-efficient system architecture that can sustain the development of innovative applications and services. Nonetheless, this technological advancement also...
ElectroCardioGram ECG biometrics has recently been identified as a promising technique to identify subjects. Meanwhile, as ECG related data can reveal other factors like medical disease, the protection of the ECG biometric template is mandatory. The challenge is to guaranty the privacy of the ECG data, while keeping adequate performance results in terms of false acceptance rate and false rejection...
Smart devices can be considered an essential element of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) revolution. Devices able to gather and process data to provide high-level information to other nodes will enable advanced and effective smart applications in the near future. To let IoT objects to become smarter and smarter, advanced embedded architecture must be considered. In this direction, this paper exploits...
This paper tries to shed more light on Mirai malware, with an aim to facilitate its easier detection and prevention. This malware was used in several recent high profile DDoS attacks. Mirai is used to create and control botnet of IoT devices. The code of this malware is analysed and explanation of its parts provided. Virtual environment for dynamic analysis of Mirai is created. Special settings that...
This paper describes the implementative aspects, the main challenges and the adopted solutions for an Internet voting system designed by LepidaSpA and dedicated for specific elections a Land Reclamation Authority in Italian Emilia-Romagna region. Besides the description of the voting system, we also present an efficient and simple administration tool for the management of all the election phases,...
In this research study we investigate whether AC-ware Tutor supported education, along with traditional learning and teaching of high school students, contributes more to the student acquisition of knowledge. AC-ware Tutor is intelligent tutoring system, focused on automatic and dynamic generation of adaptive courseware which takes into account the current level of student's knowledge and cognitive...
Large enterprises are moving towards Software Defined Network (SDN) adoption, where business-critical applications are being deployed on top of highly programmable network components and orchestrated by a single or multiple controllers using network protocols, such as OpenFlow or NetConf for communication. Just like in traditional networks, low-cost monitoring solutions need to be developed for SDN...
Stability of civil structures is one of the main issues to be considered for the aging of bridges, buildings, tunnels, mines, dams, aircraft or other aging structures. They must be checked correctly, thus, security of civil structures, especially tunnels and bridges, pose a great matter for civil engineering. Therefore, Structural health monitoring ‘SHM’ takes more and more an important area in modern...
Despite recent advances that have greatly improved the performance of embedded systems, we still face many challenges with regard to energy consumption in energy-constrained embedded and communication platforms. Optimizing applications for energy consumption remains a challenge and thus is a compelling research direction, both on the practical and theoretical sides. This paper presents a new experimental...
Thanks to the proliferation of mobile technologies that enable devices to use the network for providing (publish) or requiring (subscribe) information according to specific applications aims, the Internet of Things (IoT) can be considered as the biggest challenge that the industry is currently facing. During the last years several application domains for IoT have emerged and among these the Smart...
