To solve the problem, the best way is to estimate the missing data as accurately as possible. In this paper, for the data of changing smoothly, a temporal correlation based missing data estimation algorithm is proposed, which adopts the cubic spline interpolation model to capture the trend of data varying. Next, for the data of changing non-smoothly, a spatial correlation based missing data estimation algorithm is proposed, which adopts the multiple regression model to describe the data correlation among multiple neighbor nodes. Based on these two algorithms, an adaptive missing data estimation algorithm, called CIAM, is proposed for processing the missing data when the category of data changing is unknown. Experimental results on two realworld datasets show that the proposed algorithms can estimate the missing data accurately.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114462122","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}

Previous studies have shown that the Internet AS topology exhibits a power-law node degree distribution and a small-world structure. With the proliferation of peering links and IXPs between ASes, the traditional hierarchical Internet has been more flattened. In this paper, we conducted a graph-theoretic study of the Internet AS topology and applied the centrality metrics (including betweenness and closeness) to quantify the AS core. To this end, we implemented a progressive node deletion algorithm to eliminate high-rank AS nodes from the AS topology in order to study whether the AS topology maintains as a tiering graph. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we constructed the Internet AS topology based BGP dumps harvested from 50 route servers. Our results show a strong trend quantitatively that the Internet AS topology has become much more flattened. The Internet is more resilient to node and link failures and is difficult to be torn down. This AS topology evolution trend may result in significant traffic shifting and potentially reshaping the global telecom industry.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129009732","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}

A number of recent studies has thus investigated message scheduling techniques for FlexRay systems. However, most existing work focused on either the scheduling of periodic messages on the static segment or the scheduling of hard aperiodic messages on the dynamic segment while soft aperiodic messages have been neglected. Also, isolated scheduling severely limits the overall performance of all messages including periodic, hard aperiodic and soft aperiodic messages in terms of bandwidth utilization and transmission latency. In order to address these aspects, this paper presents an algorithm, referred to as Joint Scheduling Algorithm for FlexRay (JSAF), which jointly schedules soft aperiodic messages together with periodic and hard aperiodic messages in real-time FlexRay systems. The algorithm prioritizes periodic messages and hard aperiodic messages and first schedules them onto the static segment and the dynamic segment, respectively. Soft aperiodic messages are then dynamically scheduled with an online scheduler by utilizing unused time left by periodic messages and hard aperiodic messages. Performance evaluation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and competitiveness of our approaches when compared to existing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116718011","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}

Processes and workflows that were previously bound to stationary computer systems are increasingly being adapted for mobile devices. Mobile collaborative applications, such as video conferences, collaborative writing, and gaming, are already important parts of human interaction. These kinds of applications intensively use group communication. Legacy group communication systems are rarely applicable in mobile scenarios due to temporary communication outages, mobile and nomadic users, and limited device capabilities. Non-responding users are usually associated with node failures and excluded from the group in these systems. In this paper, we argue for the need of a mobility support as a primary service in mobile group communication systems. We analyze mobility issues for mobile collaboration and show that it is difficult to find a generic solution that meets the various requirements to group communication. Using the group communication protocol Moversight as an example, we show how mobility support can be assured for closed group scenarios.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122984566","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}

Therefore, we present a novel idea for Digital Identity in VANETs that makes it more reliable and useful for both the authorities and the driver while providing the required level of security and privacy.

Applications running on data centers can achieve predictable performance only if the network resource - bandwidth - is also guaranteed along with the computational and storage resources. While QoS guaranteeing solutions in network has been a subject of intense research in the past decades, in this paper, we focus on studying the capability of software-defined networking architecture in providing QoS guarantees in data centers. In particular, we experiment with the most well-known and standardized OpenFlow, to analyze the goodness of the QoS APIs supported in the recent version (OpenFlow v1.3) in providing rate-guarantees to TCP flows in a data center. We experiment with the commonly implemented TCP congestion control algorithms, namely CUBIC and New Reno. Our study demonstrates that, with rate-limiters, the TCP flows that go through an OpenFlow-enabled switch can experience drops to batches of packets, forcing them to switch to the slow-start phase periodically, thereby leading to inefficient bandwidth utilization. This behaviour can adversely affect the performance of applications generating the flows. Hence, we need to develop better mechanisms that limit flow-rates while allowing the flows to operate in their congestion-avoidance phase.","PeriodicalId":219583,"journal":{"name":"2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116245171","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}
