The simulation results show an optimization of the training speed and an oscillation reduction in the learning process with the new algorithm, thus obvious optimizing the web services selection in smart distribution grid.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115488961","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}

The SDN-enabled products have also been widely deployed in many production networks aiming to bypass the limitations of current Internet architecture. There are several efforts on building Software Defined Routing Platform (SDRP), which integrates SDN/OpenFlow within IP routing. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are a few successful works on realizing SDRP despite of the flexibility and rich features of SDN. In this paper, we investigate state-of-the-art works towards SDRP. We have evaluated the performance of a mainstream SDRP named RouteFlow. Our evaluations have been conducted using both the emulator Mininet and a real testbed with physical switches. Different to other works, we focus on the resilience aspect of the routing platform. The evaluation results show that RouteFlow is resilient against both single and multiple link failures. Additionally, OSPF provided by RouteFlow achieves a shorter failover time than the legacy OSPF. In the case of RIPv2, RouteFlow's protocol has a comparable performance value with the distributed one.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127683321","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}

Hence it is important to carefully analyze and profile Wi-Fi energy expenditure in order to improve mobile applications' energy efficiency. Although hardware based power meters provide very accurate power measurement result, it is infeasible to expect mobile application developers to rely on power meters. As alternative solutions, software based power estimation tools are popular. Most of the existing power estimation solutions to date do not provide accurate estimation result, as we disclose in this paper by analyzing the popular PowerTutor. Therefore, we propose a new Wi-Fi power model by taking into account important IEEE 802.11 communication patterns as well as Wi-Fi hardware settings in a way that increases the accuracy of power estimation. We design and implement the proposed power model as a smartphone application and deploy it into a real device for validation. The evaluation results show that our solution can achieve an estimation accuracy up to 86% compared to hardware power meters, and is much more accurate than PowerTutor.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126250750","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}

Moreover, the redundant packet contents indeed take a major part of the bottleneck. In this paper, we propose a distributed and efficient cache sharing protocol, named DCP, to eliminate redundant traffic in data center with Fat-Tree topology. In DCP, each switch holds packet caches, which are used for eliminating redundant packets. A cache sharing mechanism using Bloom Filter is also proposed to share local caches of switches with servers. Moreover, we propose another technique leveraging Bloom Filter to reduce false positive ratio caused by sharing cache information between switches and servers. We build up a Fat-Tree topology with k = 16 to evaluate the performance of DCP, and the simulation results show that DCP can eliminate 40% to 60% redundant packets, which validate its efficiency.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133949711","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 paper deploys a mobile ticket dispenser system (MTDS) with waiting time prediction to enhance user experience in waiting.

We propose an output indicator and develop a discrete event simulation model to investigate the performance of the MTDS. Our study indicates that the waiting times can be more accurately predicted without consuming much wireless network resources and power consumption of mobile devices.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120972900","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}
