Polymer-based systems have a great potential for flexible electronics and biomedical applications, but to date, the techniques to engineer functional, and often fragile, polymers into 3D are still at their beginning because a coherent fabrication platform with the right tools and processes do not yet exist. The field however starts to benefit from increased efforts in various soft and polymer materials applications. Additive manufacturing, (e.g. 3D printing) and associated processing (e.g. sintering) have already started to transform traditional industry. These approaches however are difficult to scale below a micrometer because the thermal processing is either done in bulk using furnaces or on surface using lasers. This talk will give an overview of recent achievements in advanced manufacturing at the micro/nanoscale and associated key techniques than can be applied in particular to fragile materials, where harsh process steps using charged beams and etch chemistry are harmful. I will in particular present nanostenciling, inkjet printing, capillary self-assembly and local thermal processing. Each of them may form part of the future toolbox with gentle fabrication steps for manufacturing fragile material systems. High-resolution stenciling [1] is a quite old technique, but it keeps allowing us to study new and highly localized material deposition phenomena without the need for high-energy beam exposure and etching or development steps. Examples include metallic nanostructures (< 50nm) on rigid and flexible polyimide, parylene, SU-8 and PDMS substrates for biosensors. More recently the reduced material flux through stencils in PVD allows controlling surface crystallization of molecules for organic electronic [2]. Drop-ondemand printing of functional inks is a wet additive manufacturing approach and has been also demonstrated for SU-8 [3], nanoparticle based inks with multicolor luminescent [4] and with magnetic properties [5]. Capillary assisted assembly is a particularly mild (water based) method to position loads of prefabricated nanostructures from a colloidal solution into a deterministic surface layout, with high yield and a control down to a few nanometer precision on individual position, orientation and interparticle gap [6]. Finally, local thermal processing of functional material with sub-micrometer resolution is a quite new technique based on a thermal scanning probe lithography tool. Besides creating lithography patterns in temperature sensitive resists, we used it to write patterns in temperature responsive polymers, such as topographic/fluorescence motives in supramolecular polymers [7] and into water soluble silk [8]. All these methods are part of a new mild toolbox and have in common that they per","PeriodicalId":131639,"journal":{"name":"2020 30th International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121811604","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}

Every device from Internet of Things, to routers, to application servers requires the ability to filter certain IP addresses from delivering malicious information. Blocking IPs requires storing and checking lists of tens to hundreds of millions of IP addresses. Cuckoo hash sets provide strong performance by offering relatively low numbers of memory accesses per lookup. This makes them optimal for time sensitive applications like networking. Using cuckoo++ hash tables as a baseline, we propose a new data structure known as cuckoo prefix for the purpose of blocking IPs quickly with relatively little space. Leveraging IP subnets allows us to achieve similar throughput rates as implementations such as cuckoo++ with 8 times less memory usage. In addition, in this paper we offer a comparison of throughput and memory usage of several modern hash set and hash table implementations. In particular, we examine linear probing, robin hood hashing, bit sets (including EBVBL), and cuckoo hashing implementations to determine which provides the best throughput at the lowest memory cost.","PeriodicalId":131639,"journal":{"name":"2020 30th International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123477563","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}

Emerging bandwidth-demanding applications such as real-time video streaming could also be satisfied by the next generation UAVs while exploiting the unoccupied bandwidth available at millimetre Wave (mmWave) frequency ranging from 30 to 300 GHz. However, mmWave UAVs suffer from high attenuation loss and Line Of Sight (LOS) communication. To combat the attenuation, UAVs must transmit using higher transmission power which results in higher energy consumption. MmWave, however, incurs shorter communication sessions implying shorter flight duration and less energy consumption than Long-Term Evolution (LTE) band for delivering the same service. Furthermore, a wide range of applications are delay sensitive and unable to be served by LTE. Since mmWave UAVs require continuous LOS and are unable to serve concurrent multiple nodes, we explore the concept of dual-mode UAV-assisted service delivery in which the UAV switches to mmWave band for serving bandwidth-hungry applications, and back to LTE for all other applications. The aim is to achieve a trade-off between Quality of Service (QoS) and energy consumption for Air2Ground (A2G) service delivery. Our evaluation results show the feasibility of such dual-mode system for next generation UAVs while achieving higher QoS compared to the current mono-band UAVs.","PeriodicalId":131639,"journal":{"name":"2020 30th International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123374613","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}

Compared to traditional VC approaches, the current efficient dynamic VC (EDVC) organizes the buffers in an effective way to minimize area overhead for enhanced performance. In this paper, we propose an Isochronous Efficient Dynamic Virtual Channel (IEDVC) router architecture that aims to effectively organize the VC input port, prioritise packets, and provide good communication. To enhance the QoS, techniques such as frequency boosting and error termination have been introduced.
