Generalized Virtual Networking, an enabler for Service Centric Networking and...Stefano Salsano
In this presentation we introduce the Generalized Virtual Networking (GVN) concept. GVN provides a framework to influence the routing of packets based on service level information that is carried in the packets. It is based on a protocol header inserted between the Network and Transport layers, therefore it can be seen as a layer 3.5 solution. Technically, GVN is proposed as a new transport layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. An IP router that is not GVN capable will simply process the IP destination address as usual. Similar concepts have been proposed in other works, and referred to as Service Oriented Networking, Service Centric Networking, Application Delivery Networking, but they are now generalized in the proposed GVN framework. In this respect, the GVN header is a generic container that can be adapted to serve the needs of arbitrary service level routing solutions. The GVN header can be managed by GVN capable end-hosts and applications or can be pushed/popped at the edge of a GVN capable network (like a VLAN tag). In this position paper, we show that Generalized Virtual Networking is a powerful enabler for SCN (Service Centric Networking) and NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and how it couples with the SDN (Software Defined Networking) paradigm.

E commerce and freight transport - Chasing the last mile, one byte at a timePer Olof Arnäs
The freight transport industry is facing large challenges when it comes to e-commerce. This rapidly growing sector has high demands on service and performance from the freight system - demands that are seldom met with satisfaction.
Digitization and digitalization are two forces of nature that the transport industry needs to harness and exploit in order to meet these demands.
Sustainability is a vital issue to be tackled today. Corporate and organisations need to be concerned and be able to measure their performance based on the new measures of performance which are green and sustainable.
Sustainable Supply Chains offer a good scope for researchers .
a perspective which intergates trusteesip, commmunity and holistic views is proposed for conducting a value based evaluation of supply chains. It is envisage that such a perspective will motivate sustainability for various stakeholders in the chian.

Discussions about life cycle assessment (LCA) usually center around either its tremendous promise for helping us make sense of the very complex questions posed by sustainability issues, or its occasional failure to live up to that promise - and the frustrations surrounding the resources required along with the limited issue LCA is competent to address. The sustainability community has learned a tremendous amount in recent years and one can now see a coming-of-age of LCA-based approaches that are more practical, more focused and more scientifically advanced than what was available just a few short years ago. This session will focus both on explaining these developments to the participants with a set of expert speakers, as well as offering active feedback. In particular, the session will look at how LCA has been maturing beyond its core and reliable applications, such as product carbon foot-printing, into applications that address many more types of questions with more reliable information. The themes to be presented will focus on how LCA has matured in dimensions of the subjects on which it is focused, the issues it is addressing, and the scale on which it is happening.

This presentation is one that I have been giving regularly to academic groups, corporate executivs, and at conferences.
the basic message is that we need to change systems. That if we agree sustainability is a goal, we need to develop solutions to problems.
It has to be more than hurdle rates, and for scale to occur we must begin understanding the needs and motives of different countries, groups, corporations, and citizens.
Motto:
Striving for the planet in peril

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON CONSUMER’S PERCEPTION TOWARDS CONSUMPTION OF GREEN PR...IAEME Publication
Global environmental problems are growing day-by-day and the concern about
environmental problems is also given importance by everybody. All environmental
problems are generated by human-beings. So, there is great need to identify the
consumers’ perception towards green products available in the society. The present
study was an attempt to have insights of the consumers’ perception towards the
consumption of green products using percentage analysis and ANOVA. The study
helps the entrepreneurs to understand the perception of the consumer and formulate
their strategies based on it. It further helps to sensitize the people towards
environmental issues and help them modify their behaviour accordingly to consume
green products and save the earth. A sample of 250 consumers who were using green
products has been covered in the study and the results were highlighted using
diagrams and tables.
Sustainability and Analytics: Two Sides of the Same Coin
What do sustainability and analytics have in common? More than you might think. In my presentation I will explore how these two concepts are interlinked and how they can help businesses achieve better performance, innovation and resilience. I also share some examples of how companies are using sustainability and analytics to create positive impacts for themselves and the world. Whether you are a business leader, a data enthusiast or a sustainability advocate, you will find something valuable in this article.

Research & pedagogy In digital environment : Imperatives & Implications Sanjeev Deshmukh
The digital environments calls for a number of innovative measures to sustain and enhance research. Social media and use of alt-metrics can enhance visibility of research.
This is an updated version of my earlier presentation on current research. It talks about teh digital environment and how to be visible in this digitalized world as a researcher.
Research in current scenario -sgd-adamf-20-apr-2018Sanjeev Deshmukh
Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
Lot of preparation is required for a typical young faculty while pursuing his/her career. He is constantly challenged and he/she has to excel in various dimensions such as teaching, research, extension/outreach, administration and professional recognition.
This is about the challenges faced by teacher in the scenario of onslaught by digital environment. One needs to tackle it by being sensitive to the needs of the hour and also by properly embracing the technology.
This is on how to do literature review based on some experience in good journals. Literature review is an important phase in any research and must be given due importance .
This presents an overview about relevance and significance of statistics as a valid tool in enhancing quality of research. It also touches upon some misuse and abuse of statistics.
