These find a natural application in the area of Sensor Networks and Cyber-Physical Systems. However, the incentive architecture of blockchains requires massive computational resources for mining, delays in the confirmation of transactions and, more importantly, continuously growing transaction fees, which are ill-suited to systems in which services may be provided by resource-limited devices and confirmation times and transaction costs should be kept minimal, ideally absent. We focus on a new block-less, fee-less paradigm for distributed ledgers suitable for the WSN, IoT and CPS in which transactions are nodes of a directed acyclic graph, that overcomes the limitations of blockchains for these applications, and where e.g. sensors can be at the same time issuers of transactions and validators of previous transactions. In particular, we present and release open-source a simulation environment that can be easily extended and analysed, and confirms the available results on the performance of the network.","PeriodicalId":296466,"journal":{"name":"2018 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (WAINA)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124944351","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, software defined network (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) empower this architecture to visualize the physical network resources. The network slicing identified as a multiple logical network, where each network slice dedicates as an end-to-end network and works independently with other slices on a common physical network resources. Most user devices have more than one smart wireless interfaces to connect to different radio access technologies (RATs) such as WiFi and LTE, thereby network operators utilize this facility to offload mobile data traffic. Therefore, it is important to enable a network slicing to manage different RATs on the same logical network as a way to mitigate the spectrum scarcity problem and enables a slice to control its users' mobility across different access networks. In this paper, we propose a mobility management architecture based network slicing where each slice manages its users across heterogeneous radio access technologies such as WiFi, LTE and 5G networks. In this architecture, each slice has a different mobility demands and these demands are governed by a network slice configuration and service characteristics. Therefore, our mobility management architecture follows a modular approach where each slice has individual module to handle the mobility demands and enforce the slice policy for mobility management. The advantages of applying our proposed architecture include: i) Sharing network resources between different network slices; ii) creating logical platform to unify different RATs resources and allowing all slices to share them; iii) satisfying slice mobility demands.","PeriodicalId":296466,"journal":{"name":"2018 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (WAINA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128271212","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 paper, we conduct an extensive study of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)'s code evolution. Our study is based on the reports and patch files (patches) available from the official Apache issue tracker (JIRA) and our goal was to make complete use of the entire history of HDFS at the time and the richness of the available data. The purpose of our study is to assist developers in improving the design of similar systems and implementing more solid systems in general. In contrast to prior work, our study covers all reports that have been submitted over HDFS's lifetime, rather than a sampled subset. Additionally, we include all associated patch files that have been verified by the developers of the system and classify the root causes of issues at a finer granularity than prior work, by manually inspecting all 3302 reports over the first nine years, based on a two-level classification scheme that we developed. This allows us to present a different perspective of HDFS, including a focus on the system's evolution over time, as well as a detailed analysis of characteristics that have not been previously studied in detail. These include, for example, the scope and complexity of issues in terms of the size of the patch that fixes it and number of files it affects, the time it takes before an issue is exposed, the time it takes to resolve an issue and how these vary over time. Our results indicate that bug reports constitute the most dominant type, having a continuously increasing rate over time. Moreover, the overall scope and complexity of reports and patch files remain surprisingly stable throughout HDFS' lifetime, despite the significant growth the code base experiences over time. Finally, as part of our work, we created a detailed database that includes all reports and patches, along with the key characteristics we extracted.","PeriodicalId":296466,"journal":{"name":"2018 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (WAINA)","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":"124416547","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}

Due to the limited field of view, it is better to use a camera mounted on a drone to monitor a huge parking lot. However, a drone-based camera is not fixed to the ground. Thus, there are many challenges to detect parking spaces and classify their status. To detect parking spaces, the RANSAC scheme is first used to estimate the homography relation between the current captured image and the reference parking space. Then, three novel features are extracted from each park space for occupancy condition judgment, i.e., vehicle color feature, local gray-scale variant feature, and corner feature. A deep NN is then trained to determine the occupancy status of each parking space based on the above three features. The performance of our system is evaluated on varies parking lots under different lighting and weather conditions. The average accuracy can be achieved up to 97%.","PeriodicalId":296466,"journal":{"name":"2018 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (WAINA)","volume":"6 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":"128701019","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}
