An open-source testbed for IoT systems
Slides for the presentation given at the Webist 2021 conference
Abstract:
A research team that wants to validate a new IoT solution has to implement a testbed. It is a complex step
since it must provide a realistic environment, and this may require skills that are not present in the team. This
paper explores the requirements of an IoT testbed and proposes an open-source solution based on low-cost
and widely available components and technologies. The testbed implements an architecture consisting of a
collector managing several edge devices. Security levels and duty-cycle are tunable depending on the specific
application. After analyzing the testbed requirements, the paper illustrates a template that uses WiFi for the
link layer, HTTPS for structured communication, an ESP8266 board for edge units, and a RaspberryPi for the
collector.

Cassowary: Middleware Platform for Context-Aware Smart Buildings with Softwar...Pradeeban Kathiravelu, Ph.D.
http://kkpradeeban.blogspot.com/2015/11/cassowary-middleware-platform-for.html
Abstract: Smart devices sense the environment through their sensors and leverage the contextual information derived from the sensor readings to satisfy system requirements such as energy and carbon efficiency and user preferences. Smart buildings compose of smart devices, and local sensors of the devices and device controllers in a coordinated network. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) offers a centralized view of the entire networking data plane elements to a logically centralized controller. While smart buildings and ubiquitous computing are heavily researched, later advancements in networking are not exploited in achieving tenant-aware smart buildings.
This paper describes the research for the design, prototype implementation, and preliminary assessments of Cassowary, a middleware platform for Context-Aware Smart Buildings with Software-Defined Sensor Networks. By extending SDN paradigm and leveraging the message oriented middleware protocols to seamlessly connect the smart devices of the buildings to the centralized SDN controller, Cassowary enables context-aware Software-Defined Smart Buildings.Scott Kirkpatrick (Hebrew University): OneLab: Federation and Testbeds
The document discusses federation of internet testbeds to enable testing across different geographic locations, technologies, and networks. It proposes extending federation support through middleware across control planes and experimental planes to facilitate resource discovery, monitoring, and data sharing. Several existing federated testbeds and measurement tools are described that have been used for topics like internet topology mapping, capacity measurements in Europe, and testing non-IP autonomous networks.
Experimenting with Real Application-specific QoS Guarantees in a Large-scale ...
This document reports on an experiment conducted using a 37-node RINA network emulated on the Virtual Wall experimentation facility. The experiment evaluated RINA's ability to provide quality of service guarantees through the QTA-Mux policy. Synthetic traffic flows mimicking different applications were injected under varying load conditions. Results showed that with QTA-Mux configured at both core and metro DIFs, adequate QoS differentiation was achieved even under high congestion. However, with QTA-Mux only at the core DIF, QoS was lost at the metro DIF. A high-definition video streaming demonstration also showed near-perfect quality of experience when the video flows received a gold QoS cube

Presentation by Hui Song, Senior Scientist, SINTEF. We would like to share our research journey towards enabling DevOps for IoT applications, and how Open Source makes the journey feasible and fun.
DevOps is widely adopted for developing cloud applications, which supports developers in continuously placing software changes directly to production. As companies are including IoT and Edge devices into their IT infrastructures, supporting DevOps for IoT is a must. However, IoT challenges some fundamental assumptions behind DevOps, such as the homogeneous infrastructure and centralized governance, and therefore, breaking-through research is needed. Funded by H2020, 30 people from 12 partners crossing academia and industry gathered to solve these fundamental challenges, which results in full-stack open source tools for automatic deployment, learning-based operation and security monitoring of IoT applications, and risk management of the development process. The tools are evaluated on industrial use cases in intelligent transportation, smart building, and eHealth.
The mass open source tools and communities around IoT development provides the sound foundation for this design research and the opportunities for the further exploitation of the results. In particular, we are proud of spinning off a start-up to commercialize the risk management services in the open source + SaaS model.

chapter 5.pdf
The document discusses providing actuator and sensor access as a service over the internet. It proposes an algorithm for resource requisition that creates locks on actuator instances to prevent multiple simultaneous requests. This ensures actuators can only respond to one command at a time. The algorithm also analyzes request volume to optimize traffic to unavailable resources. An API is developed to abstract away hardware details and provide platform-independent parameter retrieval and actuation. This allows developers to focus on application logic rather than hardware integration.
chapter 5.docx
This document discusses the need for an open source IoT development environment and testbed to allow software developers to create IoT applications without requiring hardware expertise. It notes that existing IoT testbeds often use proprietary hardware and software, limiting interoperability. The proposed solution aims to provide virtual access to sensors and actuators through an API, as well as a microcontroller platform as a service. This would allow developers to write code without worrying about hardware integration and deployment details. The goal is to make IoT development and testing more accessible through an open testbed that addresses issues like sensor availability and cost.
Fiware overview
FIWARE is an open source platform consisting of generic enablers and solutions that allow for the management and exchange of context information through open APIs. The platform aims to support the development of smart digital services and applications. Context information from different domains can be gathered and organized in a common way using FIWARE's context broker as the main component. Once context data is collected, additional enablers can be used for advanced processing, visualization, and analysis to derive insights and power smart applications and services.
User Impersonation as a Service in End-to-End Testing
Testing large distributed heterogeneous systems in cloud environments is a complex task. This situation becomes especially difficult when carrying out end-to-end tests, in which the whole system is exercised, typically through its graphical user interface (GUI) with impersonated users. These tests are typically expensive to write and time consuming to run. This paper contributes to the solution of this problem by proposing an open source framework called ElasTest, which can be seen as an elastic platform to carry out end-to-end testing for different types of applications, including web and mobile. In particular, this piece or research puts the accent on the capability to impersonate final users, presenting a real case study in which end-to-end tests have been carried out to assess the correctness of real-time communications among browsers using WebRTC.

ElasTest: quality for cloud native applications
This document discusses ElasTest, an open source platform for end-to-end testing of cloud native applications. ElasTest captures relevant log and metric information during tests to provide observability. It allows for log and metric management, comparison, and analysis to help localize issues. A demo is given of using ElasTest to monitor and manage logs from a Jenkins job that starts a Docker application container and runs tests against it. ElasTest concludes observability is key for effective end-to-end testing of complex cloud native applications.
How to plan and define your CI-CD pipeline
We discuss things to be taken into account when deciding on a policy for your CI/CD pipelines. This might include Git workflows, testing approaches, and shipping strategies.
Bringing observability to your testing environments
The document discusses challenges with testing and bug localization. It proposes applying observability practices from production environments to testing by collecting logs, metrics and other data from systems and tests. This would allow analyzing the data with tools like Elasticsearch, Kibana and Grafana to better understand why tests fail and locate bugs. Multiple levels of analytics could be applied from descriptive to predictive. This observability approach would provide more insight into problems compared to only using test outcomes.
Life-cycle is too short not to use ElasTest
ElasTest is an EU-funded project that provides an elastic platform for testing complex distributed software systems. It focuses on end-to-end testing by providing infrastructure, services, tools for emulating real-world conditions, troubleshooting test failures, and enabling communication between team members. The project aims to make testing large applications easier, less time-consuming and provide more tools. It is demonstrated through four real-world use cases and developers are encouraged to provide feedback to help improve the platform.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC Studio
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.

Customer Relationship Managemenet’s Impact on Customer Satisfaction and Perfo...Istanbul Beykent University (İstanbul Beykent Üniversitesi)
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
