As the complexity of enterprise systems increases, the need for monitoring and analyzing such systems also grows. A number of companies have built sophisticated monitoring tools that go far beyond simple resource utilization reports. For…
High-performance computing installations, which are at the basis of web and cloud servers as well as supercomputers, are constrained by two main conflicting requirements: IT power consumption generated by the computing nodes and the heat…
Critical Path Analysis (CPA) studies the delivery of webpages to identify page resources, their interrelations, as well as their impact on the page loading latency. Despite CPA being a generic methodology, its mechanisms have been applied…
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a dynamic and complex service system. It causes a huge amount of traffic on the network infrastructure of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Oftentimes, CDN providers and ISPs struggle to find an…
The growth of video streaming has stretched the Internet to its limitation. In other words, the Internet was originally devised to connect a limited number of computers so that they can share network resources, so the Internet cannot handle…
Although there exist very accurate hardware systems for measuring traffic on the internet, their widespread use for analysis tasks is limited by their high cost. On the other hand, less expensive, software-based systems exist that are…
Energy Efficiency of a wireless sensor network (WSN) relies on its main characteristics, including hop-number, user's location, allocated power, and relay. Identifying nodes, which have more impact on these characteristics, is, however,…
Wearable sensors inWireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) provide health and physical activity monitoring. Modern communication systems have extended this monitoring remotely. In this survey, various types of wearable sensors discussed, their…
We consider the problem of excessive and unnecessary active scans in heavily utilized WLANs during which low rate probe requests and responses are broadcast. These management frames severely impact the goodput. Our analysis of two…
Information-centric networks are an interesting new paradigm for distributing content on the Internet. They bring up many research challenges, such as addressing content by name, securing content, and wide-spread caching of content. Caching…
The performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN) depends fundamentally on how its various parameters are configured under different link quality conditions. Surprisingly, even though WSNs have been extensively researched, there still…
Given that security threats and privacy breaches are com- monplace today, it is an important problem for one to know whether their device(s) are in a "good state of security", or is there a set of high- risk vulnerabilities that need to be…
As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect…
Information centric networking (ICN) proposes to redesign the Internet by replacing its host-centric design with information-centric design. Communication among entities is established at the naming level, with the receiver side (referred…
Data compression is an efficient technique to save data storage and transmission costs. However, traditional data compression methods always ignore the impact of user preferences on the statistical distributions of symbols transmitted over…
Achieving accessibility compliance is extremely important for many government agencies and businesses who wish to improve services for their consumers. With the growing reliance on dynamic web applications many organizations are finding it…
Analysis of data related to software development helps to increase quality, control and predictability of software development processes and products.However, collecting such data for is a complex task. A non-invasive collection of software…
Growing progress in sensor technology has constantly expanded the number and range of low-cost, small, and portable sensors on the market, increasing the number and type of physical phenomena that can be measured with wirelessly connected…
There are a large number of competing ADXs on the Internet. It is the primary demand to identify and compare the advertising performance of ADX. Traditional method relies on training artificial online personas to represent behavioral…
Internet-scale distributed systems such as content delivery networks (CDNs) operate hundreds of thousands of servers deployed in thousands of data center locations around the globe. Since the energy costs of operating such a large IT…
