Two emerging architectural paradigms, i.e., Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), enable the deployment and management of Service Function Chains (SFCs). A SFC is an ordered sequence of abstract…
Automatic network management strategies have become paramount for meeting the needs of innovative real-time and data-intensive applications, such as in the Internet of Things. However, meeting the ever-growing and fluctuating demands for…
Software as a service (SaaS) has recently enjoyed much attention as it makes the use of software more convenient and cost-effective. At the same time, the arising of users' expectation for high quality service such as real-time information…
In this paper we describe the architecture of a Platform as a Service (PaaS) oriented to computing and data analysis. In order to clarify the choices we made, we explain the features using practical examples, applied to several known usage…
Internet of Things devices are envisioned to penetrate essentially all aspects of life, including homes and urbanspaces, in use cases such as health care, assisted living, and smart cities. One often proposed solution for dealing with the…
The number of cyber-attacks have substantially increased over the past decade resulting in huge organizational financial losses. Indeed, it is no longer a matter of "if" but "when" a security incident will take place. A Security Operations…
Serverless computing is increasingly adopted for AI-driven workloads due to its automatic scaling and pay-as-you-go model. However, its function-based architecture creates significant security risks, including excessive privilege allocation…
This paper proposes a privacy protection and evaluation method for location services based on edge computing environment. By constructing the site service data protection and system evaluation system in the edge computing environment, based…
Pervasive services may be defined as services that are available "to any client (anytime, anywhere)". Here we focus on the software and network infrastructure required to support pervasive contextual services operating over a wide area. One…
Distribution Service (DDS) is a realtime peer-to-peer protocol that serves as a scalable middleware between distributed networked systems found in many Industrial IoT domains such as automotive, medical, energy, and defense. Since the…
Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) will allow implementing low-latency services that have been unfeasible so far. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) are working…
The increasing use of Internet of Things devices coincides with more communication and data movement in networks, which can exceed existing network capabilities. These devices often process sensor or user information, where data privacy and…
We present an Edge-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform for realising distributed cloud architectures and integrating the edge of the network in the computing ecosystem. The EaaS platform is underpinned by (i) a lightweight discovery protocol that…
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) revolutionize various application domains with integration and interoperability of networking, computing systems, and mechanical devices. Due to its scale and variety, CPS faces a number of challenges and opens…
Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a powerful paradigm for scalable data management that is employed in many real-world scenarios such as detecting credit card fraud in banks. The so-called complex events are expressed using a specification…
Edge computing has become a popular paradigm where services and applications are deployed at the network edge closer to the data sources. It provides applications with outstanding benefits, including reduced response latency and enhanced…
BGP/MPLS IP VPN and VPLS services are considered to be widely used in IP/MPLS networks for connecting customers' remote sites. However, service providers struggle with many challenges to provide these services. Management complexity,…
In recent years, wireless sensor network becomes popular both in civil and military jobs. However, security is one of the significant challenges for sensor network because of their deployment in open and unprotected environment. As…
The Sensor Planning Service (SPS) is service model to define the web service interface for requesting user driven acquisitions and observation. It's defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) group to…
Software as a Service (SaaS) is well established as an effective model for the development, deployment and customization of software. As it continues to gain more momentum in the IT industry, many user experience challenges and issues are…
