Due to the high demand for food, there is an increasing burden on the agricultural supply chain (ASC) to satisfy the hunger of every individual. As a result, there is a possibility for spoilt or contaminated food to enter the ASC. If the end-consumer consumes these bad food products, it can lead to food poisoning and even death in certain circumstances. In order to ensure that the food delivered to the consumer is safe, it is necessary to monitor the food product as it passes through the different entities present in the ASC. The traditional ASC lacks traceability and reliability. Traceability is necessary in determining the origin of a crop, while reliability is necessary in preventing foul play by any entity. Therefore, developing a traceable and reliable system for the existing ASC model has become very important. The transparent, decentralized, and immutable qualities of Blockchain, along with the help from IoT devices, will allow us to actively trace the food from farm-to-fork as it passes through the supply chain while maintaining a high reliability between each entity. Thus, this paper proposes a novel ASC model, incorporated using Blockchain and IoT technology, to mitigate the traceability and reliability issues in the ASC.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"388-390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532750","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}

Since computer vision models are compute-intensive as they utilize deep neural networks (DNNs), the data is usually sent to one or more edge servers located adjacent to mobile base stations, thereby keeping the in-situ (on camera) processing load as less as possible. Recent techniques propose running CV models on tiles of videos separately to detect and track small objects. Several CV models exist, each with different requirements of compute and memory. Since more compute and memory-intensive CV models provide higher accuracy, a key challenge of such techniques is to determine which vision model should be used on which tile. This becomes even more challenging if multiple videos are processed by the same edge server. In this paper, we first formulate this problem of model selection and tile allocation as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) instance, and then propose an approximation algorithm based on linear relaxation followed by randomized rounding to solve it. We present experimental results of our methods on an open source dataset based on trace-driven simulation to show that it gives result fast enough while also reducing execution time in a variety of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"159 1","pages":"542-550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532593","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}

Understanding the congestion and developing mitigating measures is the need of the hour. Identifying key traffic variables for congestion quantification is pivotal. Volume, speed, and density are commonly utilized metrics in this regard. The current study uses a relatively new sensing technology, the Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) for analyzing traffic flow and congestion. A 2-D LIDAR system is specifically deployed at a selected location for this purpose. Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is used for vehicle detection from the LIDAR data. The total vehicle count is estimated with an accuracy of 99%, and the estimation of classified vehicle count showed a mean absolute percentage error of 1.21%. The performance is evaluated with the help of field-collected video data. Road occupied area is also determined based on which congestion was estimated. Further, a forecasting model is developed and implemented using a stacked LSTM (Long Short- Term Memory) neural network to predict the next instants of occupied area, which gave a mean square error of 0.02 on the test data.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"310 1-2","pages":"228-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532817","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}

Many SaaSs use micro-services-based architecture where the SaaSs are designed as a set of independent smaller services known as micro-services. In this work, we model a SaaS comprising multiple micro-services using a directed graph, wherein each node represents a micro-service and each directed edge represents a possible navigation path for a user from one micro-service to another. We consider a network with multiple servers at varying distances from the end-users that can be used to host these micro-services. The evolution of this system consisting of servers, SaaS, and its users is then mapped to an open feed-forward queueing network. We formulate an optimization problem to identify the server to host each micro-service and to determine the amount of computational resources to rent at these servers. Structural properties of the optimal solution to this problem are characterized under some assumptions on the graph structure and relative values of the costs involved. In addition, we propose a heuristic for solving the formulated problem and illustrate its efficacy via numerical results.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"533-541"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532999","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}

It is envisioned that data transmission from the transmitter to the receiver for such highly dynamic systems can be greatly improved by using IRS, a device made of inexpensive meta-surfaces that can reflect the signals in the desired direction. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a multi-IRS-assisted vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system by considering multiple IRSs between the transmitting and the receiving vehicles. Specifically, performance is evaluated by the selection of the best IRS among the multiple IRSs using the end-to-end instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measure. We derive the approximate closed-form expressions for outage probability (OP) and average symbol error rate (ASER) by considering the independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d) double generalized Gamma (dGG) fading channel. Further, we use Monte-Carlo simulations to validate the accuracy of our theoretical expressions. It is inferred from results that the presence of multiple IRSs and multiple number of IRS elements in each IRS improves the system performance compared to the existing V2V systems reported in the literature.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"913-919"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532747","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, the focus is on the scenario of energy-efficient timely update of packets and considers the minimization of the Age of Information (AoI) metric under an average transmit power constraint. The problem is modeled as a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP) where the objective is to minimize the time average AoI cost while restricting the time average transmit power to a specified threshold. The optimization problem is solved by forming the Lagrangian, followed by the primal-dual approach. The primal problem is an unconstrained Markov Decision Process (MDP) for which the well-established Relative Value Iteration Algorithm (RVIA) can be exploited. However, under the assumption of an unknown probability transition kernel, an in-between post-rate allocation state is introduced, and with the aid of stochastic approximation, we propose an online framework for the rate allocation. Finally, the efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated by numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":518748,"journal":{"name":"2024 16th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS)","volume":"439 1","pages":"661-665"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532598","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}

Existing approaches for reducing alert noise rely on static policies that can quickly become outdated in dynamic IT environments. We demonstrate a novel unsupervised approach, Dynamic-X-Y, which learns dynamic alert suppression policies from historical alert data and applies them to incoming events/alerts at runtime, thereby reducing unnecessary alert notifications.

One notable obstacle involves the provision of dependable, low-latency, and cost-effective data processing solutions for compute-intensive applications. To tackle this challenge, this demo investigates the potential for offloading compute-intensive tasks from a UGV to a nearby edge cloud and characterize the performance in terms of latency and throughput. By doing so, compute-heavy workloads on a UGV are replaced by simple API calls to edge cloud-based services deployed. It also keeps the UGV system design simple, reduces hardware costs, and saves power consumption.
