The development of the fifth generation (5G) wireless technology is in progress to address the increasing demands for high capacity, low latency, and ubiquitous mobile access instigated by next-generation mobile and machine-centric applications. The Centralized/Cloud-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture exploiting the small-cell paradigm has been identified as a promising approach to address...
This paper presents a fast traffic manager architecture targeting to meet some requirements of the 5G next generation cellular communication technology, and of the high-speed networking devices in the software defined networking context. Also, an important goal is to reduce latency to a minimum in order to best support the upcoming 5G. The proposed traffic manager functionalities are policing, scheduling,...
High-performance analysis of big data demands more computing resources, forcing similar growth in computation cost. So, the challenge to the HPC system designers is providing not only high performance but also high performance at lower cost. For high performance yet cost effective cyberinfrastructure, we propose a new system model augmenting Amdahl's second law for balanced system to optimize price-performance-ratio...
Detectors in high energy physics (HEP) that are subject to high hit rates require fast and sophisticated instrumentation. The proposed Timing Vertex Detector (TVD) requires femtosecond resolution timing to determine the space-time coordinates of the traversing particles. One of its key components is the RFpix waveform digitizing ASIC, which is being designed to operate with an analog bandwidth of...
Providing the new power system with well-tailored communication architecture is a key factor to guarantee expected smart grid capabilities. Among many requirements, quality of service awareness is a relevant feature for the smart grid communication system. Indeed, various data flows are to be exchanged in order to ensure smart grid services, having each different resilience, bandwidth and latency...
Currently, researchers use simulators to experimenttheir innovation on emerging non-volatile memory. Unfortunately, simulation method is both time-consuming andare hard to debug.

Point to multipoint (PmP) distribution at millimeter wave is a frontier so far not yet crossed due to the formidable technological challenge that the high atmospheric attenuation poses. The transmission power at level of tens of Watts required at millimeter wave for a reference range of 1 km is not available by any commercial or laboratory solid state devices. However, the availability of PmP with...
Fog computing is an emerging architecture that aims to run applications on multiple devices that lie on a continuum from cloud servers to personal user smartphones. These architectures allow applications to optimize over the information stored at and functionalities run on each device, based on individual device capabilities. We demonstrate the benefits of this approach for mobile video streaming...
In this paper, we propose a novel data center network architecture named FFTree. Compared to widely adopted industrial solutions including fat-tree, this architecture can provide even higher aggregate bandwidth and richer path availability. Most importantly, FFTree provisions unique flexibility so that its topology and performance can be tailored with great freedom before its deployment. The fine...
By placing processing-capable devices at the edge of local wireless access networks, Edge Computing architectures have been recently proposed to connect mobile devices to computational power through a one-hop low-latency wireless link.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have the ability to retain memory and learn from data sequences, which are fundamental for real-time applications. RNN computations offer limited data reuse, which leads to high data traffic. This translates into high off-chip memory bandwidth or large internal storage requirement to achieve high performance. Exploiting parallelism in RNN computations are bounded by...
The use of Software Defined Network (SDN) in recently networking architecture has brought tremendous advantage in computer networking technology. Administrative issues such as routing, security and load balancing can be centralized and automated in SDN controllers. Controllers have been an integral part of the SDN architecture enabling intelligent networking. However, because all the packets are transmitted...

We choose MoFREAK feature [1] to implement in our real-time action recognition system. MoFREAK is a local spatio-temporal feature, which combines the appearance and motion descriptor independently. We design a two phase architecture to balance the throughput...
A fundamental problem to be resolved to achieve carrier grade functioning of an SDN network is the controller placement problem. The problem has been traditionally limited to optimally assigning switches to static physical controllers and placing those controllers over a network topology. However, virtualized controllers in place of physical ones could largely increase the dynamism in network control...
Cloud radio access network (CRAN) has been proposed as a potential energy saving architecture and a scalable solution to increase the capacity and performance of radio networks. The original CRAN decouples the digital unit (DU) from radio unit (RU) and centralizes the DUs. However, stringent delay and bandwidth constraints are incurred by fronthaul in CRAN, i.e. the network segment connecting RUs...
Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the deployment of millions of sensors at the edge of the network, through Smart City infrastructure and lifestyle devices. Cloud computing platforms are often tasked with handling these large volumes and fast streams of data from the edge. Recently, Fog computing has emerged as a concept for low-latency and resource-rich processing of these observation streams,...
Among the several threats to cyber services Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is most prevailing nowadays. DDoS involves making an online service unavailable by flooding the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system. It is easier for an insider having legitimate access to the system to circumvent any security controls thus resulting in insider attack. To mitigate insider assisted DDoS...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture and offers advantages over traditional network architecture, while there exist some scalability challenges.
