Generally, the use of a long connection chain to log in to a computer system is an indication of the presence of an intruder. This paper presents a new solution to the problem of detecting such long connection chains at the server side. Our hypothesis is that a long connection chain will cause Request and Response packets to cross each other along the chain. So even though we cannot directly observe the packet crossovers from the server side, we can observe some of their side effects. Thus, our detection algorithm is based on detecting this side effect of packet crossovers. We validated the algorithm using test data generated on the Internet. The results show a high detection rate of long connection chains of length three hops with a reasonable false positive rate.","PeriodicalId":438655,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115453257","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 divide the network region into subregions of equal size and search sparse and dense regions of the network field with the help of sparsity search algorithm (SSA) and density search algorithm (DSA). SEEC improves network lifetime through sink mobility in sparse regions and clustering in dense regions of the network. SEEC also achieves network stability with optimal number of clusters formation in dense regions of the network where each dense region logically represents a static cluster. The division of the network region into subregions control routing hole problem in the UWSNs. SEEC minimizes network energy consumption with balanced scheme operations. Effectiveness of our proposed protocol is verified by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":438655,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117126710","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}

Caching is an important and integral part of ICN. In ICN, the requested contents that are downloaded from the original source are stored at intermediate on-path routers. With increase in similarity in the requests by multiple users, similarity of contents passing through edge routers increases. This leads to cache redundancy at the edge routers resulting in decrease in network performance. To improve the network performance in such kind of scenarios, we have proposed a co-operative caching policy in which the edge routers or on-path routers optimally store the requested ICN contents and are supported by a strategically placed central off-path cache router for additional level of caching. We have proposed a simple heuristic mechanism which can be used to offload and to optimally store the contents from the on-path routers to off-path central cache router. Through theoretical studies and simulations we have demonstrated that this cooperative scheme improves the performance of the network significantly in terms of cache duplication, delay and network usage. While we have presented the results for a typical campus network, similar results can be expected in larger Internet by clustering a group of on-path routers around some criterion and then allocating an off-path cache router at a nearby location to the on-path routers.","PeriodicalId":438655,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127445762","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 LAS is an enhanced Learning Management System (LMS) developed in the lab of Wakkanai Hokusei Gakuen University. We consider an LAS cluster where availability of the service is inevitable. Data replication can be used to improve availability. However, the replication process can present several problems, such as consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. There are several ways to address these issues. For example, by developing a consistency-aware protocol, we can increase the data consistency of the application. However, we took a lazy approach to address this issue, in which we utilized a Galera cluster with an isolated sequential replication process. Our experiments show reliable results. The approach taken in our experiment is a combination of active and passive replication, to propagate changes in the background, log every transaction, calculate differentiation of content, and provide a comprehensive solution for replication with an eventually consistent approach. Furthermore, our experiments demonstrate that a multi-master replication system is effective for LAS in an Internet of Things (IoT) cluster. In this paper, we discuss the relevant results that we obtained from the evaluation.","PeriodicalId":438655,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123718043","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 proposed algorithm starts by identifying the key parameters acting on the selection procedure, then, computes criteria weights by applying the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process -- AHP and finally, conducts to the best suitable positioning technology using a specific ranking function that always prefers the most accurate positioning technique.
