Towards Emulation Of Intelligent Iot Networks On Eu-Us Testbeds, Sachin Sharma, Saish Urumkar, Gianluca Fontanesi, Venkat Sai Suman Lamba Karanam, Boyang Hu, Byrav Ramamurthy, Avishek Nag

Conference papers

This paper introduces our project on experimental validation of intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The project is a part of the NGIAtlantic H2020 third open call to perform experiments on EU and US wireless testbeds. The project proposes five different experiments to be performed on EU/US testbeds: (1) automatic configuration/discovery of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in wireless IoT sensor networks, (2) Machine Learning (ML) assisted control and data traffic path discovery experiments, (3) GPU and Hadoop cluster assisted experiments for ML algorithms, (4) Inter-testbed experiments, and (5) Failure recovery intercity experiments. Further, initial experimentation on EU/US testbeds is explored …

Experimenting An Edge-Cloud Computing Model On The Gpulab Fed4fire Testbed, Vikas Tomer, Sachin Sharma

Conference papers

There are various open testbeds available for testing algorithms and prototypes, including the Fed4Fire testbeds. This demo paper illustrates how the GPULAB Fed4Fire testbed can be used to test an edge-cloud model that employs an ensemble machine learning algorithm for detecting attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT). We compare experimentation times and other performance metrics of our model based on different characteristics of the testbed, such as GPU model, CPU speed, and memory. Our goal is to demonstrate how an edge-computing model can be run on the GPULab testbed. Results indicate that this use case can be deployed seamlessly …

Cross-Atlantic Experiments On Eu-Us Test-Beds, Sachin Sharma, Avishek Nag, Byrav Ramamurthy

Articles

Today, there are a number of real testbeds worldwide among which Fed4Fire testbeds are prominent in the EU, while POWDER and COSMOS are prominent in the US. This paper aims to validate inter-testbed experiments between the EU and the US by connecting a number of Fed4Fire and US testbeds as part of an NGIAtlantic project. The goal is to compare the hop count, the topology formed, the maximum bandwidth permitted, and the loss and jitter that occurred between different testbeds. Additionally, Software Defined Networking (SDN) experiments between EU and US testbeds are conducted, and an edge-computing use case is developed …

Future Wireless Networking Experiments Escaping Simulations, Sachin Sharma, Saish Urumkar, Gianluca Fontanesi, Byrav Ramamurthy, Avishek Nag

Articles

In computer networking, simulations are widely used to test and analyse new protocols and ideas. Currently, there are a number of open real testbeds available to test the new protocols. In the EU, for example, there are Fed4Fire testbeds, while in the US, there are POWDER and COSMOS testbeds. Several other countries, including Japan, Brazil, India, and China, have also developed next-generation testbeds. Compared to simulations, these testbeds offer a more realistic way to test protocols and prototypes. In this paper, we examine some available wireless testbeds from the EU and the US, which are part of an open-call EU …

Performance Evaluation Of An Edge Computing Implementation Of Hyperledger Sawtooth For Iot Data Security, Sean Connolly

Dissertations

Blockchain offers a potential solution to some of the security challenges faced by the internet-of-things (IoT) by using its practically immutable ledger to store data transactions. However, past applications of blockchain in IoT encountered limitations in the rate at which transactions were committed to the chain as new blocks. These limitations were often the result of the time-consuming and computationally expensive consensus mechanisms found in public blockchains. Hyperledger Sawtooth is an open-source private blockchain platform that offers an efficient proof-of-elapsed-time (PoET) consensus mechanism. Sawtooth has performed well in benchmarks against other blockchains. However, a performance evaluation for a practical application …

A Proposal To Harmonize Bim And Iot Data Silos Using Blockchain Application, Zulkefly Abu Bakar, Malachy Mathews Dr

Conference papers

The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) provide significant end-to-end benefits for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry. Example applications include on-site assembly services, data localization for built environment, occupancy performance measures and many other analyses that can be used to improve the built environment. However, silos in the BIM and IoT data exchange have impacted the digital process adoption in AECO industry, which aims to change the dynamics and behaviors of the current working process. Penzes, (2018) in his report, acknowledges the AECO industry as one of the most fragmented sectors with …

Predicting The Hardness Of Turf Surfaces From A Soil Moisture Sensor Using Iot Technologies, Ann Marie Mckeon

Other

In horseracing, “the going” is a term to describe the racetrack ground conditions. In Ireland presently, a groundskeeper or course clerk walks the racecourse poking it with a blackthorn stick, assesses conditions, and declares the going – it is a subjective measurement.

This thesis will propose using remote low-cost soil moisture sensors to gather high frequency data about the soil water content in the ground and to enable informed decisions to be made. This will remove the subjective element from the ground hardness, and look at the data in an objective way.

The soil moisture sensor will systematically collect high …

Can A Strictly Defined Security Configuration For Iot Devices Mitigate The Risk Of Exploitation By Botnet Malware?, David Kennefick

Dissertations

The internet that we know and use every day is the internet of people, a collection of knowledge and data that can be accessed anywhere is the world anytime from many devices. The internet of the future is the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a collection of automated technology that is designed to be run autonomously, but on devices designed for humans to use. In 2016 the Mirai malware has shown there are underlying vulnerabilities in devices connected to the internet of things. Mirai is specifically designed to recognise and exploit IoT devices and it has been …
