The distributed, hop-by-hop routing architecture used in the Internet depends on algebraic properties of routing metrics to ensure traffic is forwarded over loop-free and best (LFB) paths. As the Internet evolves to serve as the converged communication infrastructure for the 21st century, the need for new metrics that violate these properties ([5], [9]) has been identified. Until recently, the behavior...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that is attracting significant attention from both academy and industry. In recent years, increasing research efforts have addressed the conception of programming interfaces—northbound APIs—which allow business-applications to properly communicate with SDN controllers and program the network. However, most of current SDN controllers still offer low-level...
Due to the massive explosion of social networking and content sharing, it is becoming challenging to transmit a huge amount of multimedia content over wireless mobile networks. The existing paradigm of mobile multimedia sharing has yet to effectively address the energy and bandwidth limitations of wireless devices. Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has been proposed as a possible way to drive the current...
There is a spectrum of solutions are available for distributing content over the Internet today. One of these solutions is Content distribution networks (CDN). CDN need to make decisions, such as server selection and routing, to improve a performance of content distribution. But we must remember, that performance may be limited by various factors such as packet loss in the network, a small receive...
A new approach to implementation of the virtual network embedding strategy over OpenStack cloud platform presented. We presented the OpenStack cloud platform and the problems associated with virtual network embedding. Then, conduct OpenStack dashboard customization to generate virtual network requests to process these requests. We modified OpenStack Compute module to provide bandwidth limitation for...
A novel protocol is being designed for efficient congestion control with the principle of cross layer approach. This protocol will support congestion control in overcrowded traffic using multi-path routing scheme. This protocol finds application in the scenario where fairness in rate is enhanced by adapting route optimization with reduced queue length. The underutilized channel capacity information...
Cache hierarchies have long been utilized to minimize the latency of main memory accesses by caching frequently used data closer to the processor. Significant research has been done to identify the most crucial metrics of cache performance. Though the majority of research focuses on measuring cache hit rates and data movement as the major cache performance metrics, cache utilization can be equally...
The number of e-commerce customers and database services in cloud computing platforms has grown increasingly, leading providers to adopt resource-sharing solutions to meet growing demand for infrastructure resources, such as processing and storage. Consolidating database applications has become arguably a de-facto solution to support a large number of customers/tenants at low infrastructure costs...
Does a hearing-impaired individual's speech reflect his hearing loss, and if it does, can the nature of hearing loss be inferred from his speech? To investigate these questions, at least four hours of speech data were recorded from each of 37 adult individuals, both male and female, belonging to four classes: 7 normal, and 30 severely-to-profoundly hearing impaired with high, medium or low speech...
This paper discusses the Correntropy Induced Metric (CIM) based Growing Neural Gas (GNG) architecture. CIM is a kernel method based similarity measurement from the information theoretic learning perspective, which quantifies the similarity between probability distributions of input and reference vectors. We apply CIM to find a maximum error region and node insert criterion, instead of euclidean distance...
The increasing availability of 10G Ethernet network capabilities challenges existing transport layer protocols. As 10G connections gain momentum outside of backbone networks, the choice of appropriate TCP congestion control algorithms becomes even more relevant for networked applications running in environments such as data centers. Therefore, we provide an extensive overview of relevant TCP congestion...
The growing variety and consumption of the mobile services throughout the Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile networks lead to various challenging issues in radio resource scheduling. One of the main challenges in LTE resource management is how to allocate the scare available bandwidth, especially in overload states of the network, to the services which have different characteristics and quality requirements...
Provisioning of high I/O capabilities for high-end HPC architectures is generally considered a challenge. A good understanding of the characteristics of the utilisation of modern I/O systems can help address the increasing performance gap between I/O and computation. In this paper we present results from an analysis of server-side performance counters that had been collected for multiple years on...
Energy consumption represents a large percentage of the operational expenses in data centers. Most of the existing solutions for energy-aware scheduling are focusing on job distribution and consolidation between computing servers, while network characteristics are not considered. In this paper, we propose a model of power and network-aware scheduling that can be tuned to achieve energy-savings, through...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) provides the potential for highly configurable, automated networks by separating the control and forwarding functions of network devices. While SDN appears to have many potential benefits for coalition tactical networking, including rapid reconfigurability and improved network situational awareness, there are significant obstacles to overcome. In particular, the low...
Precisely estimating the pose of an agent in a global reference frame is a crucial goal that unlocks a multitude of robotic applications, including autonomous navigation and collaboration. In order to achieve this, current state-of-the-art localization approaches collect data provided by one or more agents and create a single, consistent localization map, maintained over time. However, with the introduction...
In recent years, as mobile devices increase, the demands for measuring the available bandwidth in a wireless network increase more and more to provide high quality network services. The available bandwidth is one of the most important parameters to determine the sending rate in WAN optimization. Pathload [2] is a technique to measure the available bandwidth by detecting the point where the receiving...
Convolution Neural Networks today provide the best results for many image detection and image recognition problems. The network accuracy increase in the past years is obtained through an increase in complexity of the structure and amount of parameters of the deep networks. Memory bandwidth and power consumption constraints are limiting the deployment of such state-of-the-art architecture in low power...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is in the process of revolutionizing the way of managing networks by providing a new way to support current and future services. However, by relocating the control functionality in a remote entity, the measurements' accuracy of the resources' utilization becomes more difficult, which complicates the decision making. Although there are previous works focusing on the...
An ever increasing utility and use of virtualization in various emerging scenarios, e.g.: Cloud Computing, Software Defined Networks, Data Streaming Processing, asks the Infrastructure Providers (InPs) to optimize the allocation of the virtual network requests (VNRs) into a substrate network. In this paper we present a two-stage virtual network embedding (VNE) algorithm, which map first virtual nodes...
