Most of existing work has proposed to rely on the Software Defined Networking paradigm to route traffic into the appropriate set of functions. These solutions tend to be poorly scalable and need to deploy a new architecture to benefit of Network Function Virtualization. On this poster, we show that the same goal can be achieved by relying on IGP. Hence, we propose a modular design called NFV-Router which is incrementally deployable. We have tested our prototype on large-scale realistic emulated topologies, showing that NFV Routers efficiently steer traffic through chains of services and only add a small overhead to control traffic.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125575005","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 tedious firmware development, the lack of user interfaces, the stochastic nature of the radio channel, the testbed learning curve, are some of the factors that make the evaluation process error prone. The impact of such errors on published results can be quite unfortunate, leading to misconclusions and false common wisdom. The selection of experiment conditions or performance metrics to evaluate one's own proposal may not lead to perfectly fair comparisons with state-of-the-art, either. Our research community is well aware of these problems and is actively working on solutions. We present OpenBenchmark, a cloud-based, reproducible, repeatable and comparable IoT benchmarking service. OpenBenchmark facilitates and improves the IoT experimentation workflow: it runs the experiments on supported testbeds, instruments the supported firmware according to the industry-relevant test scenarios, and collects and processes the experiment data to produce Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This paper introduces the OpenBenchmark platform, discusses its applicability, design and implementation.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132418309","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}

An adversary such as an untrusted location-based server can monitor the queried locations by a user to infer sensitive information such as the user’s home address, health conditions, shopping habits, etc. To address this issue, dummy-based algorithms have been developed to increase the anonymity of users, and thus, protecting their privacy. Unfortunately, the existing algorithms only consider a limited amount of side information known by the adversary whereas they may face more serious challenges in practice. In this paper, we consider a new type of side information based on consecutive location changes of users, and propose a new metric called transition-entropy to investigate the location privacy preservation. Furthermore, we develop a greedy algorithm to significantly improve the transition-entropy performance for a given dummy generation algorithm. Via experiments conducted on a real-life dataset, we evaluate the performance of the proposed metric and algorithm.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123731953","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, a UAV-assisted mobile edge computing system is studied, in which UAV serves as a relay between the offloading users and the Base Station (BS). Furthermore, nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is introduced to improve the spectrum efficiency. To enable effective computation offloading, the trajectory of UAV and multi-dimensional resource allocation play an important role in the offloading procedure. However, there still lack studies on this topic in such a network. This paper aims at joint trajectory and computation offloading optimization while considering the energy consumption of UAV and quality of services (QoS) of the users. This problem is formulated to minimize the total delay of all users. To enable tractable analysis, we first divide the original problem into two subproblems: joint optimization of trajectory and power allocation, and user schedule. Then the first problem is addressed by leveraging successive convex approximations. And the difference of convex programming theory is adopted to obtain a sub-optimal solution. With the obtained results, the user schedule indicator is finally optimized. Extensive simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130166820","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}

We propose the use of a nonparametric Bayesian method to fully estimate HMM parameters from delay observations, including the number of states.

To process this data and present information to the driver in real-time, we introduce VESPER, a real-time processing framework and online scheduling algorithm designed to exploit distributed devices that are connected via wireless links. A significant feature of the VESPER algorithm is its ability to navigate the trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity of modern machine learning tools by adapting the workload, while still satisfying latency and throughput requirements. We refer to this capability as polymorphic computing. VESPER also scales opportunistically to leverage the computational resources of external devices. We evaluate VESPER on an image-processing pipeline and demonstrate that it outperforms offloading schemes based on static workloads.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124703739","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}

Thus, solving a bunch of potential problems in data protection. We propose a usage of query-independent, similitude models for privacy-preserving data release on the edge devices. Those models build a compact representation of the data for any possible query, as opposite to a common method of queryspecific data release.

To enable low-latency networking we propose X-PACE, a cross-layer pacing scheme. X-PACE provides low-latency communication under consideration of dynamics from the network protocol layers up to the application level.

In our field experiments, a pre-trained deep neural network (DNN) is deployed on the UAV to identify a target from the captured video frames and enable UAV to keep tracking. However, tracking in real time by the DNN requires a lot of computational resources. This motivates us to consider offloading this type of machine learning (ML) tasks to a mobile edge computing (MEC) server. Specifically, we propose a novel hierarchical ML tasks distribution framework for the UAV tracking system, where the UAV is embedded with lower layers of the pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model due to its limited computing capability, while the MEC server with rich computing resources will handle the higher layers of the CNN model. An optimization problem is formulated to minimize the CNN inference delay while taking into account the communications delay, computing time, and ML error. Insights are provided to understand the tradeoff between communications and ML computing in offloading decisions. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ML tasks distribution framework with the optimized offloading strategy.","PeriodicalId":321862,"journal":{"name":"IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129446883","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}
