First, we propose an adaptive approach for default box selection in SSD. This uses data to reduce the uncertainty in the selection of best aspect ratios for the default boxes and improves performance of SSD for datasets containing small and complex objects (e.g., equipments at construction sites). We do so by finding the distribution of aspect ratios of the given training dataset, and then choosing representative values. Secondly, we propose an ensemble algorithm, using SSD as components, which improves the performance of SSD, especially for small amount of training datasets. Compared to the conventional SSD algorithm, adaptive box selection improves mean average precision by 3%, while ensemble-based SSD improves it by 8%.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122638982","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}

Also application developers bystander major changes, with new opportunities for fast development of innovative applications and services. Network functions (NFs) are key building blocks to realise such potential. Indeed, NFs are currently subject of great development by diverse vendors for a large range of applications beyond traditional well known networking functionalities. Such new capabilities may benefit from flexible and scalable design as opposite to current blackbox view of NFs. In this paper we propose one such novel NF with flexible and scalable design. Our NF exploits the capabilities of the network coding (NC) concept to improve different metrics of service performance, hence resulting in a NC service that can be offered either to external customers or used as internal service by the network provider. Our main contribution is three-fold. First, we justify our approach of internal logical visibility of network coding functions (NCFs), which allows proprietary while interoperable NCFs. Second, we propose the modelling of NCFs internal logic in terms of their software functional architecture. Finally, we show that our functional logic naturally maps to softwarized network architectures, which in turn facilitates NCFs virtualization. We also discuss the applicability of our architectures to representative conceptual scenarios and identify next steps.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125036435","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}

Considering physical layer transmission waveform integration in hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial (S-T) communication systems, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) technology is introduced to apply in satellite communications. As potential candidate waveform of 5G, GFDM has many advantages which is appropriate for S-T communications but the traditional GFDM receivers have high complexity due to its intrinsic inter-carriers-interference (ICI). In this paper, a new data-aided interference cancellation (IC) GFDM receiver is proposed for satellite communications. Based on pilot subcarriers and new match filter, the proposed scheme can solve the receiving problem of raised cosine (RC) filtering GFDM. The simulation results and the complexity analysis prove that the proposed GFDM receiver performed significantly better than traditional GFDM receiver at reasonable computational cost, which can promote the application of GFDM in hybrid S-T communication systems.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123193975","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}

During the process of gaining these skills, there are several effective factors on the individual performance such as gender, nature of the scenarios and hand condition that can be important to better organize appropriate training programs. Earlier studies show that, surgeons' mental workload show differences according to the difficulty levels of the tasks and hand conditions during the operations. Also there are some evidences showing that male surgeons performing the surgical tasks with a better performance compared to the females. However, in the literature there are not many studies conducted to better understand these effects by analyzing the eye-movements on simulation-based surgical training environments. This study aims to understand the mental workload and gender differences from fixation number and fixation duration eye-movement events. In this study four different computer-based-simulation scenarios which are developed for an Educational Computer-based-simulation Environment (ECE) for endo-neurosurgery training have been performed by 23 (3 female) surgical residents. Participants have performed each scenario in different hand conditions (dominant, non-dominant and both hand). While surgical residents were performing the scenarios their eye-movements were recorded by an eye-tracker. The Binocular Individual Threshold (BIT) classification algorithm was used for eye-movement event classification. According to the results of fixation number and fixation duration events in these four scenarios, hand conditions, scenario fidelity levels and gender are found to be important factors that make changes on mental workload of surgical residents. It can be concluded that, in non-dominant and both hand conditions mental workload increases according to the dominant hand condition. Additionally results show that scenario fidelity levels and gender have an effect on the eye-movements of surgical residents.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132382381","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}

Fall, the new-type network Delay and Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) came to become a hot area of research. In recent years, many kinds of DTN routing algorithms have been proposed. With the characteristics of long time delay, high packet loss rate and intermittent connectivity. Satellite networks also belong to a kind of DTN. But meanwhile, they have their unique characteristics of satellite nodes regular running in orbits and predictable inter-satellite links on and off, for which deterministic routing algorithm is more suited in Satellite DTN networks. This paper focuses on studying the theoretical knowledge of a kind of deterministic DTN routing algorithm, Earliest-Delivery(ED) algorithm. And combining with the characteristics of the satellite network above, we propose an improved ED algorithm from three aspects of distributed routing, routing update strategy and tag - based dynamic storage scheme. Ultimately, we simulate the LEO/MEO two-layer satellite delay tolerant network in OPNET, and analyze the performance of two algorithms upon packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay and the number of packets destroyed in the storage queue. The result shows the improved algorithm performs better in satellite DTN network.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132570059","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}

NFV is being utilized extensively for providing cutting edge networking solutions, including virtual cyber security functions. Functions virtualized with NFV such as firewall, deep packet inspection, intrusion detection systems etc. can reside as applications in the network architecture. Determining the deployment locations of these functions in the network is an important research challenge due to the necessity of achieving different operational objectives such as minimizing latency, network load, cost or energy consumption etc. while meeting cyber security requirements. Among these objectives, optimizing the energy consumption of a network is of vital importance to reduce operating expenses. In this study, we propose an ILP (Integer Linear Programming) model for placing virtualized cyber security functions in a network with the objective of minimizing server energy consumption. We implement and test our model on two different network topologies. Experimental results show that our model can reduce energy consumption significantly while providing cyber security at the desired level.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116375559","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}

Constructing the FHS with optimal Hamming cross- and auto-correlations under the varying access-delay is a major challenge for FHMA systems to achieve the superior performance. In this paper, we propose a novel kind of no-hit zone FH sequence (NHZ-FHS), which has the orthogonality for small access-delay and the near-orthogonality for large access-delay. A design algorithm of the new NHZ-FHS is presented based on the traditional FH sequences. Then, as a case study of FHMA system with $M$-ary frequency-shift-keying (MFSK/FHMA), the multiple-access interference (MAI) rejection benefited from the proposed FHS are analyzed, and the decision variable is derived as a function of the Hamming correlation, which is utilized for Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation and numerical results show that the proposed NHZ-FHS can completely avoid MAI for quasi-synchronous FHMA system; meanwhile it can provide the lower MAI and better performance for synchronous system, compared with the exiting pseudo-random FHSs. The proposed NHZ-FHS relaxes the requirement of strict synchronization mechanism, which is more suitable for the FHMA network deploying under the poor communication conditions.","PeriodicalId":313846,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133651826","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}
