Future mobile networks supporting Internet of Things are expected to provide both high throughput and low latency to user-specific services. One way to overcome this challenge is to adopt network function virtualization and Multi-access…
Mobile network performance measurement is important for understanding mobile user experience, problem diagnosis, and service comparison. A number of crowdsourcing measurement apps (e.g., MobiPerf [4, 6] and Netalyzr [5, 7]) have been…
Network traffic classification is a core primitive for network security and management, yet it is increasingly challenged by pervasive encryption and evolving protocols. A central bottleneck is representation: hand-crafted flow statistics…
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have received significant attention in recent years by encompassing a set of technologies that enable a variety of heterogeneous physical objects, called things, to interact and communicate through…
While the evolution of the Internet was driven by the end-to-end model, it has been challenged by many flavors of middleboxes over the decades. Yet, the basic idea is still fundamental: reliability and security are usually realized…
The vast existing wireless infrastructure features a variety of systems and standards. It is of significant practical value to introduce new features and devices without changing the physical layer/hardware infrastructure, but upgrade it…
Parallel computing is very important to accelerate the performance of software systems. Additionally, considering that a recurring challenge is to process high data volumes continuously, stream processing emerged as a paradigm and software…
Quantum continuous measurement strategies consist an essential element in many modern sensing technologies leading to potentially enhanced estimation of unknown physical parameters. In such schemes, continuous monitoring of the quantum…
Quantitative information flow (QIF) is concerned with assessing the leakage of information in computational systems. In QIF there are two main perspectives for the quantification of leakage. On one hand, the static perspective considers all…
Network operators need to continuosly upgrade their infrastructures in order to keep their customer satisfaction levels high. Crowdsourcing-based approaches are generally adopted, where customers are directly asked to answer surveys about…
Radio astronomy observatories with high throughput back end instruments require real-time data processing. While computing hardware continues to advance rapidly, development of real-time processing pipelines remains difficult and…
Segment Routing is a modern variant of source routing that is being gradually deployed by network operators. Large ISPs use it for traffic engineering and fast reroute purposes. Its IPv6 dataplane, named SRv6, goes beyond the initial MPLS…
Peer-to-Peer protocols currently form the most heavily used protocol class in the Internet, with BitTorrent, the most popular protocol for content distribution, as its flagship. A high number of studies and investigations have been…
Blind quantum computation (BQC) is a secure quantum computation method that protects the privacy of clients. Measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) is a promising approach for realizing BQC. To obtain reliable results in blind MBQC,…
Obtaining flow-level measurements, similar to those provided by Netflow/IPFIX, with OpenFlow is challenging as it requires the installation of an entry per flow in the flow tables. This approach does not scale well with the number of…
In the current Internet, there is no clean way for affected parties to react to poor forwarding performance: when a domain violates its Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a contractual partner, the partner must resort to ad-hoc…
We present a continuous monitoring system for intermediate-scale quantum processors that allows extracting estimates of noisy native gate and read-out measurements based on the set of executed quantum circuits and resulting measurement…
Embedded real-time devices for monitoring, controlling, and collaboration purposes in cyber-physical systems are now commonly equipped with IP networking capabilities. However, the reception and processing of IP packets generates workloads…
We investigate the performance of several continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols in the presence of fading channels. These are lossy channels whose transmissivity changes according to a probability distribution. This is…
High throughput is of particular interest in data center and HPC networks. Although myriad network topologies have been proposed, a broad head-to-head comparison across topologies and across traffic patterns is absent, and the right way to…
