The whitepaper discusses the limitations of the traditional "Host-Centric Model" for remote communications in industries like oil and gas. It proposes a new "Distributed Communications Architecture" that addresses these issues by distributing data collection away from host computers and closer to field devices. This reduces bandwidth usage and costs while improving security and scalability. The technology for such an architecture exists today using standards like OPC UA, allowing for a transition with minimal disruption.
Multi port network ethernet performance improvement techniquesIJARIIT
An Ethernet has its own importance and space in network subsystem. In today’s resource-intensive engineering the
applications need to deal with the real-time data processing, server virtualization, and high-volume data transactions. The realtime
technologies such as video on demand and Voice over IP operations demand the network devices with efficient network
data processing as well as better networking bandwidth. The performance is the major issues with the multi-port network
devices. It requires the sufficient network bandwidth and CPU processing speed to process the real-time data at the context.
And this demand is goes on increasing. The new multi-port hardware technologies can help to improvements in the
performance of the virtualized server environments. But, these hardware technologies having their own limitations in terms of
CPU utilization levels and power consumption. It also impacts on latency and the overall system cost. This thesis will provide
the insights to some of the key configuration decisions at hardware as well as software designs in order to facilitate multi-port
network devices performance improvement over the existing infrastructure. This thesis will also discuss the solutions such as
Virtual LAN and balanced or symmetric network to reduce the cost and hardware dependency to improve the multi-port
network system performance significantly over the currently existing infrastructure. This performance improvement includes
CPU utilization and bandwidth in the heavy network loads.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging trend in the networking and communication industry and promises to deliver enormous benefits, from reduced costs to more efficient network operations. It is a new approach that gives network operators and owners more control of the infrastructure, allowing optimization, customization and virtualization that enable the creation of new types of network services. This is done by decoupling the management and control planes that make decisions about where traffic is sent from (the control plane) the underlying hardware that forwards data traffic to the selected destination (the data plane).

Centralized Data Verification Scheme for Encrypted Cloud Data ServicesEditor IJMTER
Cloud environment supports data sharing between multiple users. Data integrity is violated
due to hardware / software failures and human errors. Data owners and public verifiers are involved to
efficiently audit cloud data integrity without retrieving the entire data from the cloud server. File and
block signatures are used in the integrity verification process.
“One Ring to RUle Them All” (Oruta) scheme is used for privacy-preserving public auditing process. In
oruta homomorphic authenticators are constructed using Ring Signatures. Ring signatures are used to
compute verification metadata needed to audit the correctness of shared data. The identity of the signer
on each block in shared data is kept private from public verifiers. Homomorphic authenticable ring
signature (HARS) scheme is applied to provide identity privacy with blockless verification. Batch
auditing mechanism supports to perform multiple auditing tasks simultaneously. Oruta is compatible
with random masking to preserve data privacy from public verifiers. Dynamic data management process
is handled with index hash tables. Traceability is not supported in oruta scheme. Data dynamism
sequence is not managed by the system. The system obtains high computational overhead
The proposed system is designed to perform public data verification with privacy. Traceability features
are provided with identity privacy. Group manager or data owner can be allowed to reveal the identity of
the signer based on verification metadata. Data version management mechanism is integrated with the
system.

Enabling active flow manipulation in silicon-based network forwarding enginesTal Lavian Ph.D.
A significant challenge arising from today’s increasing Internet traffic is the ability to flexibly incorporate intelligent control in high performance commercial network devices. This paper tackles this challenge by introducing the Active Flow Manipulation (AFM) mechanism to enhance traffic control intelligence of network devices through programmability. With AFM, customer network services can exercise active network
control by identifying distinctive flows and applying specified actions to alter network behavior in real-time. These services are dynamically loaded through Openet by the CPU-based control unit of a network node and are closely coupled with its silicon-based forwarding engines, without negatively impacting forwarding performance. AFM is exposed as a key enabling technology of the programmable networking platform Openet. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by four active network services on commercial network nodes.

A TIME INDEX BASED APPROACH FOR CACHE SHARING IN MOBILE ADHOC NETWORKS cscpconf
Initially wireless networks were fully infrastructure based and hence imposed the necessity to
install base station. Base station leads to single point of failure and causes scalability problems.
With the advent of mobile adhoc networks, these problems are mitigated, by allowing certain
mobile nodes to form a dynamic and temporary communication network without any preexisting
infrastructure. Caching is an important technique to enhance the performance in any network. Particularly, in MANETs, it is important to cache frequently accessed data not only to reduce average latency and wireless bandwidth but also to avoid heavy traffic near the data centre. With data being cached by mobile nodes, a request to the data centre can easily be serviced by a nearby mobile node instead of the data centre alone. In this paper we propose a system , Time Index Based Approach that focuses on providing recent data on demand basis. In this system, the data comes along with a time stamp. In our work we propose three policies namely Item Discovery, Item Admission and Item Replacement, to provide data availability even with limited resources. Data consistency is ensured here since if the mobile client receives the same data item with an updated time, the previous content along with time is replaced to provide only recent data. Data availability is promised by mobile nodes, instead of the data server. We enhance the space availability in a node by deploying automated replacement policy.

MOBILE CROWD SENSING RPL-BASED ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR SMART CITY IJCNCJournal
Recently, Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) has been used in many smart city monitoring applications, leveraging the latest smartphone features of sensing and networking. However, most of these applications use a direct internet connection for sending the collected data to the server through a 3G or 4G (LTE) network.This type of communication leads to higher bandwidth, battery consumption, and higher data plan cost. In this paper, we presenta new ad-hoc tree-based routing protocol named MCS-RPL based on theIoT RPL protocol for the smart city context. The proposed protocol aims to utilize smartphone and Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS) opportunistically to support static Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and to cover more sensing areas with less routing overhead and power consumption. MCS-RPL usesa grid-based cluster head to address mobility issues and reduce control packets. The conducted performance evaluation reveals that the proposed protocol outperforms RPL in terms of packet delivery ratio and power consumption due to control packet overhead reduction, which reached more than 75% in the tested scenarios.

The task of TPA is to verify the data, so that the user will be worry-free. Verification of data is done on the aggregate authenticators sent by the user and Cloud Service Provider (CSP). For this, we propose a secure cloud storage system which supports privacy-preserving public auditing and blockless data verification over the cloud
Enhanced Data Partitioning Technique for Improving Cloud Data Storage SecurityEditor IJMTER
Cloud computing is a model for enabling for on demand network access to shared
configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications, and services).It is
based on virtualization and distributed computing technologies. Cloud Data storage systems enable
user to store data efficiently on server without any trouble of data resources. User can easily store
and retrieve their data remotely. The two biggest concerns about cloud data storage are reliability and
security. Clients aren’t like to entrust their data to another third party or companies without a

As it is well known, the QoS(quality of service) provided by mobile Internet access point devices is far from
the QoS level offered by the common ADSL modem-router due to several reasons: in fact, mobile Internet
access networks are not designed to support real-time data traffic because of several drawbacks
concerning the wireless medium such as resource sharing, traffic congestion, radio link coverage etc.,
which impact directly such parameters as delay, jitter, and packet loss rate that are strictly connected to
the quality of user experience. The main scope of the present paper is to introduce a dual USIM HSPA
gateway for ad hoc and sensors networks thanks to which it will be possible to guarantee a QoS suitable
for a series of network-centric application such as real-time communications and monitoring, video
surveillance, real-time sensor networks, telemedicine, vehicular and mobile sensor networks and so on. The
main idea is to exploit multiple radio access networks in order to enhance the available end-to-end
bandwidth and the perceived quality of experience. The scope has been reached by combining multiple
radio access with dynamic load balancing and the VPN (virtual private network) bond technique.

Thermatel products are in service worldwide in many of the most demanding applications.As a flow switch Thermatel is used for gas and liquid applications for both flow and no/low flow detection. Typical applications involve pump protection, cooling air/water,relief valve monitoring,exhaust flows and lubrication systems. Thermatel products provide outstanding low flow sensitivity with high range ability.
Application: Chemical agents employed in natural gas processing include drilling fluid additives, methanol injection for freeze protection, glycol injection for hydrate inhibition, produced water treatment chemicals, foam and corrosion inhibitors, de-emulsifiers,and drag reduction agents. Chemicals are frequently administered by way of chemical injection skids.
Challenges: Level monitoring controls chemical inventory
and determines when the tanks require filling.The careful
selection and application of level controls to chemical injection systems can effectively protect against tanks running out of chemicals or overfilling.
Biofuel is produced from biomass resources to make liquid fuels like ethanol, methanol,and bio diesel,and gaseous fuels such as hydrogen and methane(see Biogas). Bio fuels are primarily used to fuel transportation vehicles, but they can also fuel engines or fuel cellsforelectricity generation
Eclipse 705 GWR Level Transmitter's calibration and calibration verification are easily accomplished in a controlled workshop environment calibration test fixture. This feature allows the user to validate the initial, in-situ calibration, without the need to remove the probe from the vessel. This avoids the need for further time consuming and expensive in – situ process validation procedures, such as RO or WFI water metering and because the probe remains in the vessel there is no need for pressurising or depressurising of the vessel or further CIP/SIP cleaning regimes.
The test probe is mounted horizontally on a custom made test fixture fitted with a sliding target plate that can be moved along its entire length, to simulate desired test points. As all calibration information is stored in the electronics, either the electronics or the whole ”quick disconnect” transmitter housing can be quickly and easily removed, refitted to the test probe and powered up. The transmitter output can then be verified against the measured distance from the process connection to the target.
The Magnetic Level Indicator is an alternative to leakage-prone sight glasses, a traditional but fragile means to achieve visual indication of liquid level. Unlike hard-to-read sight glasses, Aurora’s visual indicator is highly visible. Maintenance on the MLI, its transmitter and switches (if so equipped), can be accomplished without breaching the vessel.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

27859 a new distributed architecture for remote communications 2013
1. Kepware Whitepaper
A New Distributed Architecture for Remote Communications
By: Tony Paine, President and CEO Kepware Technologies,
and Russel Treat, President and CEO EnerSys Corporation
Introduction
Control systems are used broadly by many industries and implemented in a
variety of ways. In Manufacturing and Process Plants, control systems consist
of the integration of Human Machine Interface (HMI) software, Programmable
Logic Controllers (PLCs), Distributed Control Systems (DCSs), computers, and a
wide range of automation software through the use of high-speed Ethernetbased communications. In geographically distributed systems, such as Oil and
Gas production and pipelines, control systems are much different. They consist
of the integration of SCADA and a more loosely integrated combination of
control devices in the field, local HMI software, and wide-area communications
that use a mixture of wireless, fiber optic, and telephone services. In either case,
a solution must exist that manages the connection between applications and
devices across the various communication mediums.
In operations involving production and pipeline monitoring and control, SCADA
and Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) applications require access to data
from a wide variety of automation devices. These devices include PLCs, Remote
Terminal Units (RTUs), Flow Computers, and other data sources that are not
directly connected to the computers on which the applications reside. The
communication bridge between the applications and field devices typically
requires the use of radios, cellular networks, satellite links, or other types of
wireless technology in multiple combinations. Each of these communication
mediums has bandwidth limitations, where performance and reliability are
easily impacted by the level of traffic sent over the networks—as well as other
factors like physical obstructions, weather, and environmental elements.
Depending on who owns the communications backbone, there may be costs
associated with the volume of data that is transferred across the network,
where the need for more data results in more operational expenses. Lastly,
this information needs to be securely transmitted to ensure that sensitive data

2. cannot be intercepted and used for malicious purposes. Together, these factors
result in a complex and expensive architecture for remote communications
within an Oil and Gas operation.
The Current Host-Centric Model
“Some form of
data collection
must exist in
order to provide
connectivity
between the
applications
consuming the
data and the field
devices providing
the data.”
Some form of data collection must exist in order to provide connectivity
between the applications consuming the data and the field devices providing
the data. Historically, this data collection resides on the same computer as the
SCADA host. Data collection can be owned by the SCADA Polling Engine, which
must contain the required protocol drivers that are used to pull data directly
from the field devices. In other instances, separate standalone applications
that expose a generic interface may be responsible for the data collection
between the applications and field devices. Unfortunately, the many types
of field devices that originate from a wide variety of vendors do not support
a universal protocol. As such, there is a 1:1 correlation between the number
of data collectors required to run on the host communication server and the
number of vendor-specific device types that are part of the overall operation.
With bandwidth, cost, and security concerns, the current Host-Centric Model
has several shortcomings.
First, available bandwidth can quickly become diminished as more applications
and devices are added, each increasing the communications throughput over
the network. This model results in the periodic dropping of data requests
that never make it to the device. It places the applications in a waiting-ona-response state, and forces them to rely on messaging timeouts to restart
communications. If multiple data collectors are required to retrieve all the
data of interest to each application, and each requires exclusive access to
the communications medium, the request and response transactions must
be processed serially. This means that a delay in any one transaction has
an additive impact on the overall communications cycle because the next
transaction cannot be sent until the previous transaction completes or times
out. Furthermore, if Operations wants to maintain both a local and remote
facility-centric view of pump stations, compressor stations, or gas processing,
the implementation of an easily maintained communications infrastructure
becomes complicated because different data collectors are used for the local
system versus the remote SCADA host.

3. “The Host-Centric
Model is not a
cost effective
solution when the
system must be
scaled.”
Figure 1: In the Host-Centric Model, several different data collectors are required to
provide data locally at the facility and remotely to SCADA, EFM Collection, and other
applications. The plant PLCs and Flow Computers receive multiple requests for the
same data, diminishing available bandwidth.
Next, the Host-Centric Model is not a cost effective solution when the system
must be scaled. Typically, there are multiple client applications running on
multiple computers that are interested in collecting the same data. This results
in multiple data collectors making the same requests to the same devices at
roughly the same time. This inefficiency not only uses unnecessary bandwidth,
but can quickly become expensive in cases where there is a cost-per-byte for
the data being transmitted.
Lastly, many of the vendor-specific protocols were developed with the
knowledge of these bandwidth limitations and cost concerns. As such, vendors
have focused on engineering these protocols down to the bare minimum
required to access the data within the device. These protocols are inherently
unsecure and can be easily deciphered or subject to man-in-the-middle attacks.
This may not be a concern when communications are limited to a private
network with physical barriers; however, there usually comes a time when this
data needs to be made available externally over public networks, and secure
communications will need to be implemented.
The New Distributed Communications Architecture
A feature-rich and properly implemented Distributed Communications
Architecture addresses these issues. In this model, data collectors are no longer
required to live on the same computer as the client applications. Instead, they
400 Congress Street, 4th Floor | Portland, Maine 04101
207-775-1660 • sales@kepware.com
4. can exist on any computer that is tied into the communications network. In this
way, a single data collector can service multiple client applications interested in
the same data from the same devices. By removing the inefficiency of making
repeated requests, less bandwidth is needed to provide the same data set.
Multiple data collectors can be spread out across multiple computers that
are closer to the field devices, each with their own exclusive connection to
the network. This allows communications across the various device types to
run concurrently, shortening the overall time it takes to acquire all of the data
and saving costs for those pay-per-byte connections. As an added benefit,
communications to other devices will no longer be affected if a device happens
to be unresponsive.
“By removing the
inefficiency of
making repeated
requests, less
bandwidth is
needed to provide
the same data set.”
Even though communication failures will still occur, a Distributed
Communications Architecture allows you to minimize points of failure within
the system. It is intuitive to place the data collector as close to the device as
possible; the connection may even be hardwired. This proximity increases
the likelihood that data will be retrieved from the device as needed. The data
collector may even have the ability to buffer and store the data in the event that
the remote client applications are unavailable, which enables the data collector
to provide the applications with this data in the near future and prevents the
loss of data across the system. This can be accomplished through a deferred
real-time data playback mechanism or preferably with a more suitable historical
data interface for retrieving the stored data.
By distributing the data collection from the client applications, we have
introduced an abstraction layer between the vendor-specific protocol and the
sharing of the information contained within the protocol. Additionally, we can
limit the exposure of these unsecure vendor-specific protocols over a wider area
network by placing the data collector as close to the device as possible. Now it
is possible to have a single secure protocol that connects each client application
to the applicable data collectors, removing the concerns for where this data may
need to travel in order to reach its destination.

5. “OPC UA also
provides the
secure exchange
of data between
these components
by prescribing
well-known
and adopted IT
practices.”
Figure 2: In a Distributed Communications Architecture, one data collector at each
site provides data both locally and remotely. Devices receive only one request for
data needed across all applications.
Although there are many ways you could implement a Distributed
Communications Architecture, there is one, de facto industrial automation
standard whose purpose is to allow vendors to solve the very problems
previously discussed. This is the OPC Unified Architecture (UA) standard: a multipurpose set of services that a data collector (known as an OPC server) provides
to an application (known as an OPC client) that is ready to consume this
information. The OPC UA service set generalizes the methods that are used to
discover, collect, and manipulate real-time, historical, and alarm and event data
by abstracting away the vendor-specific protocols. OPC UA also provides the
secure exchange of data between these components by prescribing well-known
and adopted IT practices. By building out your Distributed Communications
Architecture based on an open standard such as OPC UA, you will have a greater
chance of interoperability between the applications you are aware of today and
those you may need to add in the future—all while securely optimizing data
throughput across the network.
Conclusion
The Host-Centric Model requires a data collector for each application that
needs data from a specific device in the field. This results in inefficient use of
communications bandwidth because multiple requests are being made to the
same devices for the same data. Depending on the communications mediums
being used, this can come at a significant cost. Native protocols are often

6. unsecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data over public
networks.
A Distributed Communications Architecture removes the problems
found in the Host-Centric Model. This architecture optimizes
communications requests between client applications and field
devices, minimizing bandwidth usage and cost. By leveraging secure
communication methodologies, this architecture adds the appropriate
level of security required to transmit data over the public domain.
“The technology
needed to move
from a HostCentric Model
The technology needed to move from a Host-Centric Model to a
Distributed Communications Architecture is available today. The
transition requires minimal downtime, as configuration can be
accomplished without disrupting established communications. The
new architecture provides Oil and Gas operations with an alternative to
the current model that is more secure and cost effective, and ready to
scale to meet the needs of tomorrow.

Communications
Architecture is
