The proposed framework utilizes Complex Event Processing to process huge amount of data in near real time. Fog Computing is utilized to achieve scalability, extendibility and Software Defined Network utilized to enhance manageability of the network.

Such measurements are typically made for a better evaluation and understanding of signal attenuation in different propagation environments. Given the sophistication of theoretical path loss (PL) model derivation for such random environments, an empirical PL model is rather derived from in-field measurements for the specific field. In this paper, the empirical PL model has already been presented in a previous work. However, more details on model derivation as well as the variations of received signal strength (RSS) for eight different distances are provided. In addition, the empirical PL model of the investigated environment is compared with five empirical models of WSN, which are sand terrain, concrete surface, sparse tree, dense tree, and artificial turf. The results from the comparison of these different environments show significant differences in PL prediction, PL exponents, and variation elements. Furthermore, the empirical model is compared with popular theoretical models (i.e., free space PL and two-ray models), where the comparison shows an inaccuracy of these theoretical models in predicting RSS in WSN deployment in sparse tree environments.","PeriodicalId":187178,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116028708","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}

We propose a novel distributed self-stabilizing MIS algorithm using two-hop information. It stabilizes an unstable system at most n-1 moves under an unfair distributed scheduler where n is the number of nodes in the graph. We use the message passing model as the communication model where this model is very appropriate for WSNs. The communication consumes the most energy in WSNs. So, move count is at least as important as round count where reducing the move count prolongs the lifetime of the network. We analyzed theoretically and tested it on SimPy discrete event simulator on randomly generated connected simple undirected graphs to compare with its counterparts in terms of transmitted bit count and move count against various node degrees and node counts.","PeriodicalId":187178,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115446914","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}

It is mostly investigated for indoor applications because of the dual use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and its cost-effectiveness. However, few outdoor VLC applications are identified. VLC is, for example, proposed as a solution to link buildings situated at a reasonable distance in environments such as headquarters and school campuses. It is also proposed as a solution for the access network. These outdoor VLC applications are enabled by the utilization, in VLC, of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER) diodes (LDs). One of the reasons for this is their lighting range which is higher than that of LEDs, usually used in VLC. The use of LASER beams in outdoor VLC technology over a medium distance requires the knowledge of both the channel response and the environment. In this paper, we analyze the outdoor VLC link that uses LDs as transmitting antennas with a small angle divergence. Few link evaluation metrics including the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the channel capacity and the outage probability are presented based on the channel direct current (DC) gain proposed in the literature. Results show that the SNR of such systems is proportional to Pt/N0, they also show that the channel capacity increases with Pt/N0 depending on the haze and fog attenuation factor, ß. Finally, the outage probability increases towards 10° as the data rate increases for a fixed Pt/N0, and for a fixed value of the outage probability, the data rate increases with Pt/No.","PeriodicalId":187178,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115681200","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}

This has been further inflated by 5 million Syrians who were externally displaced in 2017. Often these individuals flee their home countries without identification documentation and thus find it extremely difficult to verify their true identities when they attempt to reconstruct their lives in their new homelands. The requirement for identification documentation is a constant element of daily life within modern societies. This functions to both protect the rights of individuals and also the entities and organisations they interact with. The need to provide identification documentation can present significant challenges for displaced people trying to reconstruct their lives. In the digital age where individuals are creating large digital footprints, online accounts and activities can prove to be a valuable source of information that may contribute to ‘proof’ that an asserted identity is genuine. Online social contextual data - or ‘Digital identities' - pertaining to real people are built over time and bolstered by associated accounts, relationships and attributes. This data is difficult to fake and therefore may have the capacity to provide proof of a ‘real’ identity. This paper outlines the design and initial development of a solution that could potentially allow refugees who are resettling to build a digital identity document over time as they settle in a new land, without the need for multiple sources of traditional identity documentation. This solution utilizes data sourced from an individual's digital footprint to assess the likelihood that it pertains to a ‘real’ identity. This is achieved through application of machine learning and Bayesian probabilistic modelling techniques. Where identity sources are considered reliable, a secure and intelligent digital identification artefact will be created. This artefact will emulate a blockchain-inspired ledger and may subsequently be used to prove identity in place of traditional paper documentation.","PeriodicalId":187178,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116162318","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}

However, most of these are based on external information like DNS, or pattern inference which requires large amounts of known IP addresses. In this paper, DeHCP, a novel approach based on delimiting IP ranges with closely clustered hosts, is presented and compared to three previously known scanning methods. The method is shown to work in an experimental setting with results comparable to that of the previously suggested methods, and is also shown to have the advantage of not being limited to a specific protocol or probing method.
