Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the key components of emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm. They now ubiquitous and used in a plurality application domains. WSNs still domain specific usually deployed to support application. However, as WSN nodes becoming more powerful, it is getting pertinent research how multiple applications could share very same infrastructure. Virtualization technology that can potentially enable this sharing. This paper survey on virtualization. It provides...
The Internet has made several giant leaps over the years, from a fixed to mobile Internet, then of Things, and now Tactile Internet. goes far beyond data, audio video delivery networks, even allowing communication collaboration among things. It is expected enable haptic communications allow skill set networks. Some examples potential applications are tele-surgery, vehicle fleets, augmented reality industrial process automation.

Despite promise that MCS brings, this new concept opens door a multitude security privacy threats attacks. Indeed, human involvement in process openness any participant, render task securing environments very challenging. In work, propose Blockchain-based hybrid architecture for detection prevention fake activities MCS....
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become pervasive and are used for a plethora of applications services. They usually deployed with specific services; thereby precluding their re-use when other services contemplated. This can inevitably lead to the proliferation redundant WSN deployments. Virtualization is technology that aid in tackling this issue. It enables sharing resources/infrastructures by multiple independent entities. position paper proposes novel multi-layer architecture...
Slices were introduced in 5G to enable the co-existence of applications with different requirements on a single infrastructure. may be delay-constrained for mission-critical such as Tactile Internet applications. When slices are implemented collections virtual network function (VNF) chains, key challenge is place VNFs and route traffic through chains meet strict delay constraint. Parallel VNF processing has been proposed promising approach. However, this approach increases number physical...
As billions of people depend on Internet application to perform day tasks, the prevalent malwares and online attacks cause a huge loss global economy prevalent. Domain name system is one core components Internet, which allows users type in website names resolves them addresses. Several studies proposed using DNS for malware detection, because it first step before visiting specific website. Unfortunately, majority focused malicious URLs back listing, botnets, top-level-domain, resolvers. This...
Remote robotic surgery, one of the most interesting 5G-enabled Tactile Internet applications, requires an ultra-low latency 1 ms and high reliability 99.999%. Communication disruptions such as packet loss delay in remote surgery can prevent messages between surgeon patient from arriving within required deadline. In this paper, we advocate for scalable Gaussian process regression (GPR) to predict contents delayed and/or lost messages. Specifically, two kernel versions sequential randomized...
A presence service enables the discovery and retrieval of, subscription to changes in, an end user's context information. RESTful web services are now emerging as a lighter alternative so-called Big Web services. This article presents early feasibility prototype of web-services-based architecture. The architecture in information, independent technologies used users' domains. Concretely, it users with multiple accounts (e.g., MSN, Yahoo, Gmail) publish information related account(s) they...
Robotic applications are becoming ubiquitous. They widely used in several areas (e.g., healthcare, disaster management, and manufacturing). However, their provisioning still faces challenges such as cost resource usage efficiency. Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm that may aid tackling these challenges. It has three main facets: Infrastructure a Service (IaaS), Platform (PaaS) Software (SaaS). This paper focuses on the IaaS aspects of robotic cloud services. proposes architecture...
