Local governments and car manufacturers are working closely together to reduce the number of casualties by introducing different automatic emergency calling systems. This feature will be mandatory in European Union starting with 2018. But what happens to older cars? Our Blackbox is a simple and cheap solution to this problem and can be fitted to any car, regardless of age and model. Blackbox relies on a Raspberry Pi to collect data from several Z-Wave-based sensors mounted on the vehicle. This data is processed locally and then sent to the cloud back-end for further use by local authorities. In case of an accident, the emergency services are automatically informed about the location. The novelty of our solution consists in not relying solely on calling the ambulance, but also sending a distress signal to nearby cars using the same Z-Wave technology. We show that in some cases, this approach helps gain valuable time as victims can be tended to until the ambulance reaches the crash-site.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122036261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large-scale natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes often result in overloading and sometimes failure of communication facilities. Affected citizens are increasingly using social media to obtain and disseminate information. Social media is not only being used to communicate with first responders but also for people to organically volunteer and seek help from each other, complementing the role of first responders. In this paper, we examine the use of Twitter during two major hurricanes in the U.S. in 2017. We find that there exists a sizable number of people with access to the Internet even in areas where 911 services were down, and they tweet disaster-related information including requests for help. Our analysis indicates that social media can potentially help in disaster management and improve outcomes.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123972227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logical Spanning Trees are constructed on the physical meshed topologies to overcome the broadcast storm problem. However, during topology changes, frame forwarding latency is introduced when re-converging and identifying new spanning tree paths. Meshed Tree algorithms (MTA) offer a new approach. Meshed Trees support multiple tree branches from a single root to cut down on re-convergence latency on link failures. A Meshed Tree Protocol (MTP) based on MTA is currently under development as an IEEE standard. In this article, MTP is evaluated for convergence delay in comparison with Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on the GENI testbed.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123668078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, an increasing number of Low Latency Applications (LLAs) notably in the entertainment, IoT, and automative domains require response times much smaller than the supported ones by the typical “client-to-cloud” network model. Cloudlets have been introduced as “data centres in a box”, for bringing computing resources “closer” to the end users. As a result, LLAs can take advantage of cloudlets to improve their Quality-of-Service (QoS) by reducing the underlying response times between their users and application instances’ location. In this work, we study the emerging market of stateful LLAs’ provisioning over geo-distributed third-party cloudlets. We assume that cloudlets offer their resources in the form of Virtual Machines (VMs) via collocated markets. Forwarding requests for LLAs interact with cloudlet markets for performing on-path and on-demand resource provisioning. We introduce a pricing scheme where users pay a fixed price for each time unit of their engagement to an LLA instance. Our evaluation on realistic topologies and application requests demonstrate the merits of on-demand provisioning when accompanied by a payas-you-go pricing scheme.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126558133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we show that moderate performance gains can be achieved by leveraging multi-location prediction.","PeriodicalId":103856,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125916619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we calculate the request blocking on full-wavelength convertible optical networks based on Markov chains and conditional probability analysis.
