Conventional TCP performance is significantly impaired under long latency and/or constrained bandwidth. While small Pacific Island states on satellite links experience this in the extreme, small populations and remoteness often rule out…
With the advancement of IoT technologies and the rapid expansion of cyber-physical systems, there is increasing interest in distributed state estimation, where multiple sensors collaboratively monitor large-scale dynamic systems. Compared…
Research use of sensitive information -- personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), commercial or proprietary data, and the like -- is increasing as researchers' skill with "big data" matures. Duke…
In recent years, assessing the performance of researchers has become a burden due to the extensive volume of the existing research output. As a result, evaluators often end up relying heavily on a selection of performance indicators like…
Access to quality education remains unequal, particularly in rural areas where Internet connectivity is limited or nonexistent. This paper introduces a framework for a digital learning platform that uses Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) to…
The rapid growth of the internet in general and of bandwidth capacity at internet clients in particular poses increasing computation and bandwidth demands on internet servers. Internet access technologies like ADSL [DSL], Cable Modem and…
A substantial amount of work has recently gone into localizing BitTorrent traffic within an ISP in order to avoid excessive and often times unnecessary transit costs. Several architectures and systems have been proposed and the initial…
In the present academic landscape, the process of collecting data is slow, and the lax infrastructures for data collaborations lead to significant delays in coming up with and disseminating conclusive findings. Therefore, there is an…
In many places all over the world rural and remote areas lack proper connectivity that has led to increasing digital divide. These areas might have low population density, low incomes, etc., making them less attractive places to invest and…
The digital twin edge network (DITEN) aims to integrate mobile edge computing (MEC) and digital twin (DT) to provide real-time system configuration and flexible resource allocation for the sixth-generation network. This paper investigates…
Following the recent Internet of Things-induced trends on digitization in general, industrial applications will further evolve as well. With a focus on the domains of manufacturing and production, the Internet of Production pursues the…
With the rapid proliferation of connected devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), the centralized cloud solution faces several challenges, out of which, there is an overwhelming consensus to put energy efficiency at the top of the research…
Digital twin (DT) is one of the most promising enabling technologies for realizing smart grids. Characterized by seamless and active---data-driven, real-time, and closed-loop---integration between digital and physical spaces, a DT is much…
The paper examines the current trends in designing of systems for convenient and secure remote job submission to various computer resources, including supercomputers, computer clusters, cloud resources, data storages and databases, and grid…
The internet can be broadly divided into three parts: surface, deep and dark. The dark web has become notorious in the media for being a hidden part of the web where all manner of illegal activities take place. This review investigates how…
Decentralized storage is still rarely used in an academic and educational environment, although it offers better availability than conventional systems. It still happens that data is not available at a certain time due to heavy load or…
Cellular phones, wireless laptops, personal portable devices that supports both voice and data access are all examples of communicating devices that uses wireless communication. Sine TCP/IP (and UDP) is the dominant technology in use in the…
Understanding the distribution of congestion in the Internet is a long-standing problem. Using data from the SamKnows US broadband access network measurement study, commissioned by the FCC, we explore patterns of congestion distribution in…
The Internet is going through a massive infrastructural revolution with the advent of low-flying satellite networks, 5/6G, WiFi7, and hollow-core fiber deployments. While these networks could unleash enhanced connectivity and new…
With more applications moving to the cloud, cloud providers need to diagnose performance problems in a timely manner. Offline processing of logs is slow and inefficient, and instrumenting the end-host network stack would violate the…
