MEC or Multi-Access Edge Computing is a network service delivery architecture that enables cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the access network. Realisation of the MEC vision is challenging with current network technologies: service discovery and routing, secure network slicing and distributed mobility management require complex capabilities in the network. This demo features an OMEC use...
Emerging services for Intelligent Transport Systems put the information content at the centre of the communication process, require a seamless support of mobile users, and target a real-time and asynchronous data dissemination. The Information-Centric Networking paradigm has all the potentials to fulfill these requirements, thanks to its ability to distribute contents through publish-subscribe communication...
There are billions of Internet of things (IoT) devices connecting to the Internet and the number is increasing. As a still ongoing technology, IoT can be used in different fields, such as agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, retailing and logistics. IoT has been changing our world and the way we live and think. However, IoT has no uniform architecture and there are different kinds of attacks...
In the last years, networking scenarios have been evolving, hand-in-hand with new and varied applications with heterogeneous Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These requirements must be efficiently and effectively delivered. Given its static layered structure and almost complete lack of built-in QoS support, the current TCP/IP-based Internet hinders such an evolution. In contrast, the clean-slate...
Self-adaptive systems are modern applications in which the running software system should be able to react on its own, by dynamically adapting its behavior, for sustaining a required set of qualities of service, and dynamic changes in the context or in user requirements. They are typically involved in Future Internet development such as the Internet of Things where interoperability, flexibility, and...
The dramatic success and scaling of the Internet was made possible by the core principle of keeping it simple in the middle and smart at the edge (or the end-to-end principle). However, new applications bring new demands, and for many emerging applications, the Internet paradigm presents limitations. For applications in this new generation of Internet services, structured overlay networks offer a...
Network Address Translation has often been described as an aberration in the evolution of the Internet, and one that will be removed with the completion of the transition of IPv6. This is an opinion in support of NATs, arguing that they are an important step in the evolution of the Internet and may well play a lasting role in this environment.
With the widespread availability of connected smart devices, Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the world's largest computing platform. These large-scale, heterogeneous and resource-constrained devices bring many significant new challenges to the design of efficient and reliable IoT systems. Security is one of the most crucial ones that need to be effectively addressed for the wide adoption of IoT...
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables several heterogeneous devices, sensors, wearables, appliances and many other objects to inter-communicate and provide support for heterogeneous services. An IoT network needs to enable exchange diverse data types including multimedia and sensor data and be capable of handling a large number of IoT objects offering services at high quality levels. This paper proposes...
The main design principle of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is the name based routing, that makes users able to ask for a data object by only using its name, and makes the network deliver data to users from a nearby cache if in-network caching is available. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) decouples the control layer from the data layer, so that the complexity, and network control and management...
In this paper, a distributed home automation system will be demonstrated. Traditional systems are based on a central controller where all the decisions are made. The proposed control architecture is a solution to overcome the problems such as the lack of flexibility and re-configurability that most of the conventional systems have. This has been achieved by employing a method based on the new IEC...
Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a novel clean-slate architecture for Future Internet. It has been designed to take into account a new use of the Internet and especially accessing content for a large number of users, and it integrates several features such as in-network caching, security or multipath. As NDN relies on content names instead of host address, it cannot rely on traditional Internet routing,...
The Content-Centric Networking (CCN) concept is a significant approach of several future Internet research activities. CCN in Wireless Sensor Networks present a promised technique that may ensure data routing based on content. In this paper, we focus on the lifetime of the Content Object exchanged in the network and we explain the idea of its integration in CCN for WSNs to better highlight the relevance...
Most networking performance enhancements occur through specific static solutions, where the structure of the protocol stack remains unchanged. Instead, we focus on a flexible software and hardware co-design for the entire protocol stack. In this paper, we present EmbedNet, a System-on-Chip implementation of a flexible network architecture for the Future Internet, where parts of the protocol stack...
Heterogeneity in constrained networks and gateways is perhaps one of the single greatest challenges facing end-to-end management of devices and networks in the IoT. Today, the Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) protocol, leveraged on open Internet standards, has become a strong contender for REST-based IoT management. However, significant challenges exist for remote gateway management, particularly for proxies...
Internet has been being becoming the most famous and biggest communication networks as social, industrial, and public infrastructure since Internet was invented at late 1960s. In a historical retrospect of Internet's evolution, the Internet architecture continues evolution repeatedly by going through various technical challenges, for instance, in early 1990s, Internet had encountered danger of scalability,...
In this document we describe an approach to interconnect existing industrial automation systems with cooperation networks, like the internet of things, even if the industrial automation system uses a different communication protocol. To realize this, we have developed the concept of connector which provides system-dependent interfaces for different industrial automation and a universal interface for...
Choice-based future Internet architectures, in which choice is offered for fine-grained network services to different traffic flows, have been proposed in the literature. Such choice-based architectures have been envisioned in literature as realizing an economy of networking services that can give rise to a beneficial ecosystem of providers and consumers over time. Such an architecture would use an...
Delay tolerant network (DTN) provides solution for the implementation of the internet with a new prototype. DTN concept is started from the problems of using TCP/IP on the environmental conditions that are not conducive to end to end connectivity with high delay and disruptions between nodes. The goal of this work is to design the scalability of the DTN based network, by implementing epidemic routing...
In Content-Centric Networks (CCN), multiple routers may cache the same content, which makes it possible to retrieve the content chunks in parallel. In this paper, we propose Multi-Source Request and Transmission mechanism (MSRT) for CCN. We develop a MinMax problem to compute the optimal solution to retrieve all the chunks from multiple sources in the shortest time. We prove that the problem is NP...
