A FLEXIBLE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE ADAPTIVE NETWORK FOR EMBEDDED DISTRIBUTED ARCHIT...csijjournal
Embedded platforms are projected to integrate hundreds of cores in the near future, and expanding the
interconnection network remains a key challenge. We propose SNet, a new Scalable NETwork paradigm
that extends the NoCs area to include a software/hardware dynamic routing mechanism. To design routing
pathways among communicating processes, it uses a distributed, adaptive, non-supervised routing method
based on the ACO algorithm (Ant Colony Optimization). A small footprint hardware unit called DMC
speeds up data transfer (Direct Management of Communications). SNet has the benefit of being extremely
versatile, allowing for the creation of a broad range of routing topologies to meet the needs of various
applications. We provide the DMC module in this work and assess SNet performance by executing a large
number of test cases.
The underlying fabric for communication among intelligent
agents will in many cases be provided by telecommunication
networks. But telecommunication networks have been seen as
a natural domain for the investigation and application of
intelligent agents’ technology as it emerged from the area of
Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). Telecommunication
network administrations are vast organizations dedicated to
operating and managing networks with broad functional
segmentations: telephone network outside plant, switching and
transmission plants, public network, all supporting different
layers of specialized customer or service networks. These
networks are organized into multiple physical and logical
layers built with large quantities of repeated network elements
and sub network structures. All these elements need to be
configured, monitored, and controlled. In the future, this will
preferably be done by automated operation support systems
and without substantial human intervention.

An IoT platform is a fusion of physical resources such as connectors, wireless networks, smart phones and computer technologies viz; protocols, web service technologies, etc. the heterogeneity of used technologies generates a high cost at interoperability level. This paper presents a generic meta-model of IoT interoperability based on different organizational concepts such as service, compilation, activity and architectures. This model called M2IOTI, defines a very simple description of the IoT interoperability. M2IOTI is a meta-model of IoT interoperability by which one can build a model of IoT interoperability with different forms of organizations. We show that this meta-model allows for connected objects heterogeneity in semantic technologies, activities, services and architectures, in order to offer a high level at IoT interoperability. We also introduce the concept PSM which uses the same conceptual model to describe each interoperability model already existed. Such as conceptual, behavioral, semantic and dynamic models. We have also proposed a PIM model that regroups all the common concepts between the PSMs interoperability models.
TreeNetViz - Revealing Patterns of Networks over Tree Structure.liangou
Network data often contain important attributes from various dimensions such as social affiliations and areas of expertise in a social network. If such attributes exhibit a tree structure, visualizing a compound graph consisting of tree and network structures becomes complicated. How to visually reveal patterns of a network over a tree has not been fully studied. In this paper, we propose a compound graph model, TreeNet, to support visualization and analysis of a network at multiple levels of aggregation over a tree. We also present a visualization design, TreeNetViz, to offer the multiscale and cross-scale exploration and interaction of a TreeNet graph. TreeNetViz uses a Radial, Space-Filling (RSF) visualization to represent the tree structure, a circle layout with novel optimization to show aggregated networks derived from TreeNet, and an edge bundling technique to reduce visual complexity. Our circular layout algorithm reduces both total edge-crossings and edge length and also considers hierarchical structure constraints and edge weight in a TreeNet graph. These experiments illustrate that the algorithm can reduce visual cluttering in TreeNet graphs. Our case study also shows that TreeNetViz has the potential to support the analysis of a compound graph by revealing multiscale and cross-scale network patterns.
Studies towards heterogeneous Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) as well as inter-domain routing is still in much infancy stage. After reviewing the existing literaturs, it was found that problems associated with scalability, interoperability, and security is not defined up to the mark as it should be part of pervasive computing in future networks. Moreover, it was found that existing studies do not consider the complexities associated with heterogeneous MANET to a large extent leading to narrowed research scope. Hence, this paper introduces a novel scheme called as Secure, Scalable and Interoperable (SSI )routing, where a joint algorithm is designed, developed, and implemented. The outcome exhibits the correctness of this scheme by simulation assisted by analysis for inter-domain routing.

Ethernet is fast becoming the obvious choice for automation networks worldwide. It is a rugged, versatile technology, equally at home in a chemical plant, on an ocean-going vessel and in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft. While the packet structure of Ethernet has not changed since its inception, technologies such as fast and gigabit Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, VLANs, redundant rings and real-time (deterministic) Ethernet for motor control applications have increased the complexity and choices available in planning and designing these systems. As Ethernet has become more complex, a number of misconceptions have arisen as to how Ethernet functions and how the system should be optimally configured. This workshop addresses these issues in a clear and practical manner.
Ethernet can be easily augmented with wireless technologies, and the workshop takes a brief look at the current and emerging industrial wireless technologies such as IEEE802.11, wireless mesh and wireless sensor networks; how they function, and where they fit into the overall picture.
Ethernet is almost synonymous with the TCP/IP protocol suite. Because of its rugged design and the fact that it is Internet-compatible, all major automation system vendors are adopting TCP/IP (and, of course, Ethernet). This complex topic will be covered in an easily-understandable and coherent manner.
OPC has made vast inroads into the process automation arena and has been adopted by every single SCADA system vendor. We will look at current standards, in particular the DA standard, and also at new developments such as the ‘Unified Architecture’. We will also highlight some tricky implementation issues and ways to avoid the pitfalls.
With regard to the automation arena there is a strong move to wireless and Ethernet/TCP/IP. We will look at the offerings of the HART communication foundation, the open DeviceNet Vendor Association, The PROFIBUS/PROFINET user organisations and the fieldbus foundation, as well as the latest Ethernet fieldbuses such as EtherCAT, EPL and SercosIII, to get an overall idea of the current trends. In particular we will focus on the real-time issue, a prerequisite for motor control applications. Real-time Ethernet can now operate at sub-millisecond access times and less than one microsecond jitter. We will look at the various offerings by the abovementioned vendors and the two basic methods through which this incredible performance is being achieved.
Finally we will look at every system manager’s nightmare, security, and will suggest some simple common-sense and internationally-accepted measures to keep the hackers at bay.
Designing Run-Time Environments to have Predefined Global DynamicsIJCNCJournal
The stability and the predictability of a computer network algorithm's performance are as important as the
main functional purpose of networking software. However, asserting or deriving such properties from the
finite state machine implementations of protocols is hard and, except for singular cases like TCP, is not
done today. In this paper, we propose to design and study run-time environments for networking protocols
which inherently enforce desirable, predictable global dynamics. To this end we merge two complementary
design approaches: (i) A design-time and bottom up approach that enables us to engineer algorithms based
on an analyzable (reaction) flow model. (ii) A run-time and top-down approach based on an autonomous
stack composition framework, which switches among implementation alternatives to find optimal operation
configurations. We demonstrate the feasibility of our self-optimizing system in both simulations and realworld
Internet setups
Formal Models for Context Aware ComputingEditor IJCATR
Context-aware computing refers to a general class of mobile systems that can sense their physical environment, and
adapt their behavior accordingly. In this paper we seek to develop a systematic understanding of context-aware computing by
constructing a formal model and notation for expressing context-aware computations. This discussion is followed by a
description and comparison of current context modeling and reasoning techniques.

An extensible, programmable, commercial-grade platform for internet service a...Tal Lavian Ph.D.
With their increasingly sophisticated applications, users promote the notion that there is more to a network (be it an intranet, or the Internet) than mere L1-3 connectivity. In what shapes a next generation service contract between users and the network, users want the network to offer services that are as ubiquitous and dependable as dial tones. Typical services include application-aware firewalls, directories, nomadic support, virtualization, load balancing, alternate site failover, etc. To fulfill this vision, a service architecture is needed. That is, an architecture wherein end-to-end services compose, on-demand, across network domains, technologies, and administration boundaries. Such an architecture requires programmable mechanisms and programmable network devices for service enabling, service negotiation, and service management. The bedrock foundation of the architecture, and also the key focus of the paper, is an open-source programmable service platform that is explicitly designed to best exploit commercial-grade network devices. The platform predicates a full separation of concerns, in that control-intensive operations are executed in software, whereas, data-intensive operations are delegated to hardware. This way, the platform is capable of performing wire-speed content filtering, and activating network services according to the state of data and control flows. The paper describes the platform and some distinguishing services realized on the platform.
Improvements for DMM in SDN and Virtualization-Based Mobile Network Architectureijmnct
The (r)evolution of wireless access infrastructure can be described as the convergence of the available radio communication systems towards a harmonized, more flexible and reconfigurable access system to match the current and upcoming demands. In recent years Softwarization and Virtualization technologies have moved from server and network domains to wireless domain and provides new perspectives of managing mobile networks functionalities. This paper provides evolution of the mobile network architecture in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and virtualization context and realizes it through the use of distribution of gateway function approach. Key improvements with proposed approach are to support efficient mobility management in heterogeneous access environments, remove the chains of IP preservation and optimal data path management according to application needs. A functional setup validates and assays the proposed evolution in terms of inter-system handover preparation, interruption and completion time relative to control plane delay requirements of the 5G networks.

The OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model) is a conceptual framework used to describe the functions of a networking system. The OSI model characterizes computing functions into a universal set of rules and requirements in order to support interoperability between different products and software. In the OSI reference model, the communications between a computing system are split into seven different abstraction layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application.
TCP/IP Model helps you to determine how a specific computer should be connected to the internet and how data should be transmitted between them. It helps you to create a virtual network when multiple computer networks are connected together. The purpose of the TCP/IP model is to allow communication over large distances.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
