Welcome to the 20th edition of the ACM Conference on Emerging Networking Experiment and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT 2024). CoNEXT is a premier and highly selective venue in computer networking. The first edition of the conference was organized in Toulouse ...

In this issue of Internet Computing, we included articles that tackle the technical challenges around both 6G technologies and applications. The first two articles focus on bringing emerging areas like satellite communications and intelligent surfaces ...

Traffic migration is a common procedure performed by operators during planned maintenance and unexpected incidents to prevent/reduce service disruptions. However, current practices of traffic migration often couple operators' intentions (e.g. device ...

The current and the new generation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices present several challenges, among them the software update of legacy and new devices using wireless connections. In this paper, we study a problem of scheduling ...

• We study a problem of scheduling Firmware-Over-The-Air updates for connected cars.

In this demo, we showcase how to stream 8K 360° video to commodity mobile devices without pre-processing or viewpoint prediction using our MEC-VR system. Users can freely select 360° video from YouTube and immediately become immersed in the video of 8K ...

Today's HTTP adaptive streaming applications are designed to provide high levels of Quality of Experience (QoE) across a wide range of network conditions. The adaptation logic in these applications typically needs an estimate of the future network ...

The emergence of network functions virtualization (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN) has resulted in networks being realized as software defined infrastructures (SDIs). The dynamicity and flexibility offered by SDIs introduces new challenges in ...

Volumetric videos offer six degree-of-freedom (DoF) as well as 3D rendering, making them highly immersive, interactive, and expressive. In this paper, we design Nebula, a practical and resource-efficient volumetric video streaming system for commodity ...

Flare is a practical system for streaming 360-degree videos on smartphones. It takes a viewport-adaptive approach, which fetches only portions of a panoramic scene that cover what a viewer is about to perceive. Flare consists of a novel framework for ...

Flare is a practical system for streaming 360-degree videos on commodity mobile devices. It takes a viewport-adaptive approach, which fetches only portions of a panoramic scene that cover what a viewer is about to perceive. We conduct an IRB-approved ...

Streaming over the wireless channel is challenging due to rapid fluctuations in available throughput. Encouraged by recent advances in cellular throughput prediction based on radio link metrics, we examine the impact on Quality of Experience (QoE) when ...

As Augmented Reality (AR) ties closely to the physical world, its users looking at overlapped scenes are likely to be in the vicinity of each other, which naturally enables the collaboration and interaction among them. In this paper, we propose CARS (...

360-degree videos are becoming increasingly popular on commercial platforms. In this position paper, we propose a holistic research agenda aiming at improving the performance, resource utilization efficiency, and users' quality of experience (QoE) for ...

Connected cars are a rapidly growing segment of Internet of Things (IoT). While they already use cellular networks to support emergency response, in-car WiFi hotspots and infotainment, there is also a push towards updating their firmware over-the-air (...

We consider the problem of managing Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates for cars at a massive scale over a cellular network. This problem is constrained by factors like large number of cars, a need to perform updates quickly and securely, ability to do ...

The availability of reliable predictions for cellular throughput would offer a fundamental change in the way applications are designed and operated. Numerous cellular applications, including video streaming and VoIP, embed logic that attempts to ...

Despite much recent progress, Web page latencies over cellular networks remain much higher than those over wired networks. Proxies that execute Web page JavaScript (JS) and push objects needed by the client can reduce latency. However, a key concern is ...

Consensus is a fundamental problem in distributed computing. In this poster, we ask the following question: can we partially offload the execution of a consensus algorithm to the network to improve its performance? We argue for an affirmative answer by ...

Service Function Chains (SFCs) comprise a sequence of Network Functions (NFs) that are typically traversed in-order by data flows. Consequently, SFC delay grows linearly with the length of the SFC. Yet, for highly latency sensitive applications, this ...
