I obtained a master of Science in Engineering degree (nat. ir.) from the RUG, Ghent, Belgium in 1988. I have been working for Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia in various roles covering research, board and ASIC hardware and software design on topics ranging from ATM switches, DSL modems and high speed network processors (HW/SW codesign and verification) to advanced software architectures for distributed computing. My current research interests are Internet of Things architectures, edge cloud computing and massively scalable, realtime dataflow architectures. Address: Antwerp, Belgium

Recent initiatives of the GSMA and of mobile operators show their interest in finding new sources of revenue through the adoption of wireless connectivity in a wide range of devices. A route to market these M2M devices can thus involve creating a platform of services

The connectivity aspect in combination with the available data (e.g. from GPS, on-board diagnostics, road sensors) and video (e.g. from dashcams and traffic cameras) streams enable a range of new applications, e.g., accident avoidance, online route planning, energy optimization, etc. These applications, however, come with an additional set of requirements which are not accommodated by the state-of-the-art stream processing platforms. We have built World-Wide Streams (WWS), a novel stream processing platform that has been explicitly designed with those requirements in mind. In this demo presentation, we will show a number of connected car scenarios that we have built on top of WWS.

By extending the capabilities of the current security processor, there is provided a computer from the privacy of all device owners and other users to run both sides of the processor, which is the advantage of renting it possible computer security. In addition to the hardware extensions that are needed to secure the available virtualization computer or infrastructure it is also provided for the deployment of such processors. In addition, a signaling flow is started to set the various relationships between the owner of the device, the user and manufacturer.

As recently traditional “operated” network infrastructure is complemented with huge amounts of connected smart objects (the Internet-of-Things), the same mass creativity can be made applicable to smart, context-enabled services with real-world interactivity, collaboratively created by end users with varying degrees of programming skills. We report on a vision and solutions addressing easy, do-it-yourself service creation by the masses in an Internet-of-Things-enabled world, from which we discuss the (i) value networks, (ii) enabling technology framework, and (iii) domain-specific proof-of- concepts.

Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ are two popular open-source and commercially-supported pub/sub systems that have been around for almost a decade and have seen wide adoption. Given the popularity of these two systems and the fact that both are branded as pub/sub systems, two frequently asked questions in the relevant online forums are: how do they compare against each other and which one to use? In this paper, we frame the arguments in a holistic approach by establishing a common comparison framework based on the core functionalities of pub/sub systems. Using this framework, we then venture into a qualitative and quantitative (i.e. empirical) comparison of the common features of the two systems. Additionally, we also highlight the distinct features that each of these systems has. After enumerating a set of use cases that are best suited for RabbitMQ or Kafka, we t...
