In order to satisfy mission-critical multimedia QoS requirements new generation mobile networks must present content-optimized mechanisms in order to use valuable network resources efficiently and provide QoS requirements for each application. This research explores a novel solution for quality of service performance for streaming mission-critical video data in OpenFlow SDN networks. A Meter Band Rate Evaluator (MBE) Mechanism is proposed based on a new band rate description language to improve the native QoS capability of OpenFlow and OpenDaylight. Its design and development are presented and the mechanism is verified through a simulated experiment in an SDN testbed. The results revealed a significant percentage increase in QoS performance when the MBE was enabled. These findings provide support and validation for the effectiveness of the MBE to enhance the native capability of OpenFlow and OpenDaylight for efficient QoS provision.","PeriodicalId":423149,"journal":{"name":"2020 Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115387000","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}

To be able to practice medicine, a physician needs to possess a legitimate licence approved by a verified Medical Council and for this, certain credit hours need to be earned. CME is a global education system that aims to continually upgrade the knowledge of physicians with the advancements made in the medical domain. By including the highly robust features of blockchain like security, decentralization, and immutability in the existing system of CME Credits, many of the extant problems can be uprooted and a system can be established. This work aims at providing an Ethereum-based solution to enhance the existing CME Credits system by providing an automated credits accreditation and medical licence renewal system.","PeriodicalId":423149,"journal":{"name":"2020 Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115038728","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 a possibly large number of simulation time steps and an expensive loop body in each time step, the execution of such algorithms can be quite time consuming and may also require a high amount of energy and power for the computation. Execution time, energy, and power can vary for varying application specific and architecture specific parameters. Also, the lowest execution time does not necessarily leads to a low power consumption or energy consumption. In this article, we are concerned with the selection of specific parameter values which lead to a low time and/or energy and/or power consumption. Specifically, we propose an energy-aware parameter selection process that is the basis for a software-defined support of an energy and power efficient execution. The process includes a data gathering phase, a parameter selection phase based on the data sets and a parameter adaption phase at run-time combining data tabulation and data monitoring. A multi-threaded scientific algorithm solving a partial differential equation is chosen as an illustrating example.","PeriodicalId":423149,"journal":{"name":"2020 Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123634627","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}

One of the well-known problems in recommender systems is the cold start problem, which concentrates on providing recommendations when the user data is not sufficient. Although many solutions have been proposed in the literature, the majority did not concentrate on using both the hidden user motifs. We proposed previously a user-interest based cold start solution, however, finding similar users needed optimization. In this work, we propose the use of machine learning techniques to find patterns associating user profile information and user extracted interests. This would further improve the accuracy provided suggestions for new users. Experimental work showed that our solution is efficient in terms of training time, classification time, and accuracy. In details, using Bayesian Classifier Chain classifier proved to be the fastest training and classification time, while all classifiers proved to be efficient in term of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":423149,"journal":{"name":"2020 Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130856907","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}

On the one hand, it enables new business models that hold great economic growth potential. On the other hand, it leads to an increased heterogeneity of the resulting value- added networks. This poses a striking problem when it comes to the interconnection of industrial devices and the establishment of new business models. Since the disadvantages can quickly outweigh the advantages, activities in this area proceed still very cautiously. A solution is offered by highly dynamic attribute-based usage control architectures at network-level, which monitor the entire communication in the value-added networks. Previous approaches, however, either have the disadvantage that they can only use communication metadata as attributes, or are highly specialized and tailored to the respective systems of the individual network nodes. In addition, they are usually pure access control systems instead of usage control systems. In this paper, the authors propose a novel attribute-based usage control model (ABUC) that allows simulation models in form of digital twins of the respective network components to be used in order to predict their behavior and thus control network traffic according to predicted usage. The ABUC model is then implemented in a use case and validated with several performance tests.","PeriodicalId":423149,"journal":{"name":"2020 Seventh International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133755479","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}

Currently, the data collection is done either manual or unsupervised that poses trust, legitimacy and accuracy issues such as duplicated or falsified vehicular data records, tampered safety checks and meddled driving history, etc. Hence, a strong tool that can protect the vehicular data; log the changes for audit purposes and eventually build the trust in the system is necessary. We propose the use of blockchain technology for these needs. The proposed solution involves connecting an IoT module to a car data port to collect rich telemetric data; analyze the driving behaviors on various fronts and storing the outcomes to a blockchain. For various good reasons we use the Ethereum blockchain in this study. However, other blockchain deployments can also be utilized.
