Download or read book Context based Adaptation in Delay tolerant Networks written by Agoston Petz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are dynamic networks in which senders and receivers are often completely disconnected from each other, often for long periods of time. DTNs are enjoying a burgeoning interest from the research community largely due to the vast potential for meaningful applications, e.g., to enable access to the Internet in remote rural areas, monitor animal behavioral patterns, connect participants in mobile search and rescue applications, provide connectivity in urban environments, and support space communications. Existing work in DTNs generally focuses either on solutions for very specific applications or domains, or on general-purpose protocol-level solutions intended to work across multiple domains. In this proposal, we take a more systems-oriented approach to DTNs. Since applications operating in these dynamic environments would like their connections to be supported by the network technology best suited to the combination of the communication session's requirements and instantaneous network context, we develop a middleware architecture that enables seamless migrations from one communication style to another in response to changing network conditions. We also enable context-awareness in DTNs, using this awareness to adapt communications to more efficiently use network resources. Finally, we explore the systems issues inherent to such a middleware and provide an implementation of it that we test on a mobile computing testbed made up of autonomous robots.

Download or read book Cognitive Underwater Acoustic Networking Techniques written by Dimitri Sotnik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the latest research on cognitive network-layer methods and smart adaptive physical-layer methods in underwater networks. Underwater communication requires extendable and delay-tolerant underwater acoustic networks capable of supporting multiple frequency bands, data rates and transmission ranges. The book also discusses a suitable foreground communication stack for mixed mobile/static networks, a technology that requires adaptive physical layer waveforms and cognitive network strategies with underlying cooperative and non-cooperative robust processes. The goal is to arrive at a universally applicable standard in the area of Underwater Internet-of-Things [ISO/IEC 30140, 30142, 30143]. The book is the second spin-off of the research project RACUN, after the first RACUN-book "Underwater Acoustic Networking Techniques" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-25224-2)

Download or read book Future Intent Based Networking written by Mikhailo Klymash and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So-called Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is founded on well-known SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and represents one of the most important emerging network infrastructure opportunities. The IBN is the beginning of a new era in the history of networking, where the network itself translates business intentions into appropriate network configurations for all devices. This minimizes manual effort, provides an additional layer of network monitoring, and provides the ability to perform network analytics and take full advantage of machine learning. The centralized, software-defined solution provides process automation and proactive problem solving as well as centralized management of the network infrastructure. With software-based network management, many operations can be performed automatically using intelligent control algorithms (artificial intelligence and machine learning). As a result, network operation costs, application response times and energy consumption are reduced, network reliability and performance are improved, network security and flexibility are enhanced. This will be a benefit for existing networks as well as evolved LTE-based mobile networks, emerging Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud systems, and soon for the future 5G/6G networks. The future networks will reach a whole new level of self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-recovery and self-protection. This volume consists of 28 chapters, based on recent research on IBN.The volume is a collection of the most important research for the future intent-based networking deployment provided by different groups of researchers from Ukraine, Germany, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, South Korea, China, Czech Republic, Poland, Brazil, Belarus and Israel. The authors of the chapters from this collection present in depth extended research results in their scientific fields.The presented contents are highly interesting while still being rather practically oriented and straightforward to understand. Herewith we would like to wish all our readers a lot of inspiration by studying of the volume!

Download or read book Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems written by Fabrizio Granelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-10 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First International Conference on Mobile Lightweight Systems (MOBILIGHT) was held in Athens during May 18–20, 2009. The decision to organize a scientific event on wireless communications, where competition is really enormous, was motivated by discussions with some colleagues about the current unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment. Such devices follow the user everywhere he/she goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also result in exciting - search, development and business opportunities. Such a scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communi- tion paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the anytime, anywhere, any device philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and com- nication technologies. The core issue is to support the desire of wireless users to have 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services.

Download or read book New Trends in Software Methodologies Tools and Techniques written by A. Selamat and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software is the essential enabling means for science and the new economy. It helps us to create a more reliable, flexible and robust society. But software often falls short of our expectations. Current methodologies, tools, and techniques remain expensive and are not yet sufficiently reliable, while many promising approaches have proved to be no more than case-by-case oriented methods. This book contains extensively reviewed papers from the thirteenth International Conference on New Trends in software Methodology, Tools and Techniques (SoMeT_14), held in Langkawi, Malaysia, in September 2014. The conference provides an opportunity for scholars from the international research community to discuss and share research experiences of new software methodologies and techniques, and the contributions presented here address issues ranging from research practices and techniques and methodologies to proposing and reporting solutions for global world business. The emphasis has been on human-centric software methodologies, end-user development techniques and emotional reasoning, for an optimally harmonized performance between the design tool and the user. Topics covered include the handling of cognitive issues in software development to adapt it to the user's mental state and intelligent software design in software utilizing new aspects on conceptual ontology and semantics reflected on knowledge base system models. This book provides an opportunity for the software science community to show where we are today and where the future may take us.
