Conventionally, sleep quality is mainly subjectively evaluated by pittsburgh questionnaire, while stress is estimated by power spectral analysis of electrocardiogram. However, measurement is difficult during sleep since restrictions on respiration rate and body motion. Sleep depth transition presumable by heart rate variability is achieved, however, the correlation between heart rate and sleep quality during sleep is not clarified. In this paper, heart rate and sleep depth data are collected by wearable IoT devices. Then, stress index during sleep is estimated by autonomic balance evaluation index and correlation is analyzed using the collected biomedical data. Furthermore, homomorphic cryptography is applied to analysis for privacy preserving approach.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123090968","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 this work, we propose an alarm mechanism based on time series analysis, which monitors entire IP networks with low overhead and anticipates strong degradation of network performance. When applied on 9 operational Internet Protocol (IP) networks with nodes spread worldwide, our mechanism was able to anticipate cases of 100% loss 15 minutes earlier with more than 99% of Accuracy and less than 0.05% of FalsePositive Rate in the vast majority of the networks we tested with months of monitoring. In the worst case scenario we found, with Approximate Entropy (ApEn) indicating severely random behavior of loss measurements, our mechanism reached 96.5% of Accuracy and 2% of False-Positive Rate. Based on such encouraging results, we believe our alarm mechanism will support daily operations in IP networks, resulting in enhanced resiliency and enabling more intelligent service provisioning.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125272253","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}

Determining such reminders implies decision-making, since the actions' flow (behavior) usually involves probabilistic branches. An automated system needs to decide which of the next actions is the best one for the user in a given situation. Problems of this nature involve uncertainty levels that have to be dealt with. Many approaches to this problem exploit statistical data only, thus ignoring important semantic data as, for instance, are provided by Ontologies. However, ontologies do not support reasoning over uncertainty natively. In this paper, we present a probabilistic semantic model that enables reasoning over uncertainty without losing semantic information. This model will be exemplified by an extension of the Human Behavior Monitoring and Support [HBMS] approach that provides a conceptual model for representing the user's behavior and its context in her/his living environment. The performance of this approach was evaluated using real data collected from a smart home prototype equipped with sensors. The experiments provided promising results which we will discuss regarding limits and challenges to overcome.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133805074","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}

Achieving efficient high throughput for Non-Safety services while maintaining bounded delay for time-critical road Safety applications is still a matter of investigation. In this paper, we propose a MAC Multi-channel Scheme based on Learning-automata for Clustered VANETs (LMMC). Our proposal relies on clustering approach, using single radio transceiver. Addressing the spectrum scarcity problem, the Cluster Head monitors the intra-cluster transmissions within the cluster according to a smart learning-automata model. The advantage of learning automatons is that the Cluster Head learns the traffic parameters of its cluster members without complication. Consequently, each cluster member is optimally assigned a fraction of TDMA slots proportional to its needs in terms of data transmissions. The major contributions of our LMMC protocol are: i) Optimal channel utilization while exchanging Safety or Non-Safety messages within a cluster. ii) Enhanced logical 100 ms MAC frame structure in a way that ensures bounded end-to-end delay of Safety applications. iii) Maximized throughput for throughput-sensitive transmissions.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115684402","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}

Past studies such as SADV and RDV showed that the assistance of lowcost unwired static nodes located at intersections, which work as routers to provide distance-vector or link-state routing functions, significantly improves the communication performance such as delivery ratio and delivery delay. Especially, RDV provides any previously configured value of expected packet delivery ratio by creating the required number of duplicated packet copies on the shortest paths. Despite of the high delivery ratio achievement, RDV still has problems, that is, traffic concentration in the shortest paths and its large delivery delay. In this paper, we extend RDV by using multiple paths to avoid packet concentration as well as to improve delivery delay while preserving the function to provide the preconfigured expected delivery ratio. Evaluation results show that the proposed method MP-RDV (Multi-Path RDV) achieves high load-balancing performance to provide better network capacity, lower delivery delay, and higher fault tolerance against topology changes.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116870812","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}

So, most existing routing algorithms take the expected queuing delay as the routing metrics so that links with short-time light traffic are often chosen when setting up routing tables, which results in that more packets could be sent to the nodes with short-time light traffic. In this paper, we propose a Queue State based Dynamical Routing (QSDR) mechanism for NGEO satellite networks. Instead of expected queuing delay, we model effective queuing delay through filtering short-time light traffic based on the proposed forgotten factor, which considers not only the traffic load but also their duration. To balance traffic load, we propose a dynamical route updating algorithm based on real-time queue states with route state model, which ensures that each satellite sends out packets as soon as possible and avoids congestion at current node. We develop a NS2-based simulation system to evaluate our QSDR. The results demonstrate that our QSDR outperforms related TLR and ELB in terms of packet drop rate, throughput and end-to-end delay.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122468435","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 anticipated that online applications will rapidly develop and contribute by a significant amount of traffic in the near future. These applications have strict requirements in terms of delay and throughput which can't be met only if they are prior. However, at high demand of real-time traffic, elastic traffic (which is transported generally by TCP) may not have sufficient resources to be transported with reasonable quality of service (QoS). Therefore, it is primordial to manage properly the resource-network in order to provide the QoS required by both each type of services. In this paper, we present a new fluid model to evaluate the performance of elastic traffic under Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) system combining a priority queue for delay-sensitive applications with a number of Class Based Weighed Fair Queues (CBWFQ) for elastic traffic. The originality of our contribution consists on focusing on the average total number of flows passing through the whole system by approximating it as a lossless best effort system with total load equal to the total carried load of the original system (no blocked load). The core of our analysis is based on some approximations proven for balanced fairness allocation, which provides a reasonable framework for estimating bandwidth sharing among elastic traffic for best effort allocations. Results issued from this allocation are then exploited to deduce the performance of CBWFQ system. Detailed packet level simulations are used to verify the effectiveness and the accuracy of our analysis. The approach presented in this paper allows a rapid performance evaluation of elastic or rate-adaptive traffic circulating in the actual networks.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126780221","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}
