Information-centric networking (ICN) provides request aggregation and caching strategies that can improve network performance by reducing content server loads and network traffic. Incorporating network coding into ICN can offer several benefits, but a consumer may receive the same coded block from multiple content routers since the coded block may be cached by any of the content routers on its forwarding path. In this paper, we introduce a request-specific coded-block scheme to avoid linear dependency of blocks that are utilizing in-network caching. Additionally, a non-cooperative coded caching and replacement strategy is designed to guarantee that the cached blocks can be reused. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme has superior performance to conventional CCN and two network coding-based ICN schemes.

Customer Edge Switching (CES) is an extension of the already known classical firewall that is often described and used in future networks like 5G. It extends its functionality by enabling information exchange with other firewalls to decide whether the inspected network traffic should be considered malicious or legitimate. In this paper, we show how the Passive DNS can be used to further improve security of this solution. First, we discuss CES solution and its internals. We also determine how it uses DNS and CETP protocols. Secondly, we describe the basics of the Passive DNS and how it impacts the DNS protocol. Thirdly, we evaluate how the Passive DNS can be extended to collect also CETP information. Finally, we integrate the solutions and present obtained experimental results.

Pansharpening is the process of fusing a low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) image with a high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image. In the process of pansharpening, the LRMS image is often directly upsampled by a scale of 4, which may result in the loss of high-frequency details in the fused high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) image. To solve this problem, we put forward a novel progressive cascade deep residual network (PCDRN) with two residual subnetworks for pansharpening. The network adjusts the size of an MS image to the size of a PAN image twice and gradually fuses the LRMS image with the PAN image in a coarse-to-fine manner. To prevent an overly-smooth phenomenon and achieve high-quality fusion results, a multitask loss function is defined to train our network. Furthermore, to eliminate checkerboard artifacts in the fusion results, we employ a resize-convolution approach instead of transposed convolution for upsampling LRMS images. Experimental results on the Pléiades and WorldView-3 datasets prove that PCDRN exhibits superior performance compared to other popular pansharpening methods in terms of quantitative and visual assessments.

Network traffic monitoring is vital for enhancing the overall network performance and for optimizing the traffic flows. However, an emerging growth of use in cloud services, internet-of-things, block-chain and data analytics, demand the hardware-based-network-controller to provide more features for expanding network architecture. Therefore, Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers a new solution in terms of scalability, usability and programmable software-based-network-controller for the legacy network infrastructure. In fact, SDN provides a dynamic platform for the network traffic monitoring using international standard. In this study, SDN setup and installation method uses a Mininet emulator containing a controller Ryu with switching hub component, OpenFlow switches, and nodes. The number of nodes is adding until reaches to 16 nodes and evaluated through different network scenarios (single, linear and tree topology). Findings show that the single topology gives a winning criterion compared to other topologies. SDN implementation is measured with performance parameters such as Throughput, Jitter, Bandwidth and Round-Trip Time between scenarios using the Ryu controller. Future research explores on the performance of SDN in larger network and investigates the efficiency and effectiveness of SDN implementation in mesh topology.

Image thresholding segmentation based on Bee Colony Algorithm (BCA) and fuzzy entropy is presented in this chapter. The fuzzy entropy function is simplified with single parameter. The BCA is applied to search the minimum value of the fuzzy entropy function. According to the minimum function value, the optimal image threshold is obtained. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a new Internet architecture design, which is considered as the global-scale Future Internet (FI) paradigm. Though ICN offers considerable benefits over the existing IP-based Internet architecture, its practical deployment in real life still has many challenges, especially in the case of high congestion and limited power in a sensor enabled-network for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. In this paper, we propose a smart congestion control mechanism to diminish the network congestion rate, reduce sensor power consumptions, and enhance the network performance of ICN at the same time to realize a complete green and efficient ICN-based sensor networking model. The proposed network system uses the chunk-by-chunk aggregated packets according to the content popularity to diminish the number of exchanged packets needed for data transmission. We also design the sensor power-based cache management strategy, and an adaptive Markov-based sensor scheduling policy with selective sensing algorithm to further maximize power savings for the sensors. The evaluation results using ndnSIM (a widely-used ICN simulator) show that the proposed model can provide higher network performance efficiency with lower energy consumption for the future Internet by achieving higher throughput with higher cache hit rate and lower Interest packet drop rate as we increase the number of IoT sensors in ICN.

In this paper, we present a robust multibit image watermarking scheme to undertake the common image-processing attacks as well as affine distortions. This scheme combines contrast modulation and effective synchronization for large payload and high robustness. We analyze the robustness, payload, and the lower bound of fidelity. Regarding watermark resynchronization under affine distortions, we develop a self-referencing rectification method to detect the distortion parameters for reconstruction by the center of mass in affine covariant regions. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed scheme are confirmed by experimental results, which show the superior performance as comparing against several state-of-the-art watermarking methods.

To improve the quality of service and network performance for the Flash P2P video-on-demand, the prediction Flash P2P network traffic flow is beneficial for the control of the network video traffic. In this paper, a novel prediction algorithm to forecast the traffic rate of Flash P2P video is proposed. This algorithm is based on the combination of the ensemble local mean decomposition (ELMD) and the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH). The ELMD is used to decompose the original long-related flow into the summation of the short-related flow. Then, the GRACH is utilized to predict the short-related flow. The developed algorithm is tested in a university’s campus network. The predicted results show that our proposed method can further achieve higher accuracy than those obtained by existing algorithms, such as GARCH and Local Mean Decomposition and Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (LMD-GARCH) while keeping lower computational complexity.

In the current research, ATR–FTIR and FT–Raman spectroscopies was used to investigate the effect of concentration on IR and Raman intensities and shifts of symmetric vibration modes of Ozone diluted by Cumene. The symmetric vibration mode of Ozone was observed at IR and Raman shifts of 850 and 975 cm-1, respectively. By reducing the concentration of Ozone, its intensity also was reduced and the symmetric vibration mode of Cumene was observed at IR and Raman shifts of 1050 and 1185 cm-1, respectively. The concentration has not influence on IR and Raman shifts of vibration modes. The experimental results were confirmed the linear dependency of IR and Raman intensities to the concentration of sample.Ozone molecule (left illustration) and Cumene molecule (right illustration) (Santiago-López et al. 2010; Guevara-Guzmán et al. 2009; Pereyra-Muñoz et al. 2006; Foucaud et al. 2006; Elsayed 2001; van Hoof et al. 1997; Chrostowski et al. 1983; Boehme et al. 1992; Catalá et al. 2013; Balvers et al. 1992; Marker et al. 1986).
