DDoS attacks in cloud computing
Security issues related to the cloud computing are relevant to various stakeholders for an informed cloud adoption decision. Apart from data breaches, the cyber security research community is revisiting the attack space for cloud-specific solutions as ...
Distributing data analytics for efficient multiple traffic anomalies detection
Traffic anomalies can create network congestion, so its prompt and accurate detection would allow network operators to make decisions to guarantee the network performance avoiding services to experience any perturbation. In this paper, we focus on ...
A Closed/Open-Loop cache update strategy by peeking into the future
We consider a scenario where predictions of future content popularity are available to the cache manager. Our aim is to demonstrate how to optimally exploit the content popularity predictions to derive the cache update strategy that minimizes the ...
On the benefits of resource disaggregation for virtual data centre provisioning in optical data centres
Virtual Data Centre (VDC) allocation requires the provisioning of both computing and network resources. Their joint provisioning allows for an optimal utilization of the physical Data Centre (DC) infrastructure resources. However, traditional DCs can ...
Situation-based privacy autonomous management for mobile social networks
As On-line Social Networks are nowadays largely used by mobile users and their posts potentially reveal - either explicitly or implicitly - much sensitive information about users, privacy control becomes a fundamental issue in such Mobile Social ...
Intelligent UAV-assisted routing protocol for urban VANETs
The process of routing in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) is a challenging task in city environments. Finding the shortest end-to-end connected path satisfying delay restriction and minimal overhead is confronted with many constraints and ...
Centralized versus decentralized multi-cell resource and power allocation for multiuser OFDMA networks
The exponential growth in the usage of mobile networks along with the increasing number of User Equipments (UEs) are exacerbating the scarcity of frequency resources. Dense frequency reuse on the downlink of multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division ...
Resource allocation for the LTE uplink based on Genetic Algorithms in mixed traffic environments
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is currently the main technology for the 4G networks. It aims to delivery unprecedented data rates and low latency for several types of applications. In this context, this paper investigates the resource allocation in the LTE ...
