HoPP: Robust and Resilient Publish-Subscribe for an Information-Centric Internet of Things
This paper revisits NDN deployment in the IoT with a special focus on the
interaction of sensors and actuators. Such scenarios require high
responsiveness and limited control state at the constrained nodes. We argue
that the NDN request-response pattern which prevents data push is vital for IoT
networks. We contribute HoP-and-Pull (HoPP), a robust publish-subscribe scheme
for typical IoT scenarios that targets IoT networks consisting of hundreds of
resource constrained devices at intermittent connectivity. Our approach limits
the FIB tables to a minimum and naturally supports mobility, temporary network
partitioning, data aggregation and near real-time reactivity. We experimentally
evaluate the protocol in a real-world deployment using the IoT-Lab testbed with
varying numbers of constrained devices, each wirelessly interconnected via IEEE
802.15.4 LowPANs. Implementations are built on CCN-lite with RIOT and support
experiments using various single- and multi-hop scenarios
GRIDKIT: Pluggable overlay networks for Grid computing
A `second generation' approach to the provision of Grid middleware is now emerging which is built on service-oriented architecture and web services standards and technologies. However, advanced Grid applications have significant demands that are not addressed by present-day web services platforms. As one prime example, current platforms do not support the rich diversity of communication `interaction types' that are demanded by advanced applications (e.g. publish-subscribe, media streaming, peer-to-peer interaction). In the paper we describe the Gridkit middleware which augments the basic service-oriented architecture to address this particular deficiency. We particularly focus on the communications infrastructure support required to support multiple interaction types in a unified, principled and extensible manner-which we present in terms of the novel concept of pluggable overlay networks
The Fog Makes Sense: Enabling Social Sensing Services With Limited Internet Connectivity
Social sensing services use humans as sensor carriers, sensor operators and
sensors themselves in order to provide situation-awareness to applications.
This promises to provide a multitude of benefits to the users, for example in
the management of natural disasters or in community empowerment. However,
current social sensing services depend on Internet connectivity since the
services are deployed on central Cloud platforms. In many circumstances,
Internet connectivity is constrained, for instance when a natural disaster
causes Internet outages or when people do not have Internet access due to
economical reasons. In this paper, we propose the emerging Fog Computing
infrastructure to become a key-enabler of social sensing services in situations
of constrained Internet connectivity. To this end, we develop a generic
architecture and API of Fog-enabled social sensing services. We exemplify the
usage of the proposed social sensing architecture on a number of concrete use
cases from two different scenarios.Comment: Ruben Mayer, Harshit Gupta, Enrique Saurez, and Umakishore

Proactive detection of DDOS attacks in Publish-Subscribe networks
Information centric networking (ICN) using architectures such as Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm (PSIRP) or Publish-Subscribe Internet Technology (PURSUIT) has been proposed as an important candidate for the Internet of the future. ICN is an emerging research area that proposes a transformation of the current host centric Internet architecture into an architecture where information items are of primary importance. This change allows network functions such as routing and locating to be optimized based on the information items themselves. The Bloom filter based content delivery is a source routing scheme that is used in the PSIRP/PURSUIT architectures. Although this mechanism solves many issues of today’s Internet such as the growth of the routing table and the scalability problems, it is vulnerable to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we present a new content delivery scheme that has the advantages of Bloom filter based approach while at the same time being able to prevent DDoS attacks on the forwarding mechanism. Our security analysis suggests that with the proposed approach, the forwarding plane is able to resist attacks such as DDoS with very high probabilit
The Road Ahead for Networking: A Survey on ICN-IP Coexistence Solutions
In recent years, the current Internet has experienced an unexpected paradigm
shift in the usage model, which has pushed researchers towards the design of
the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm as a possible replacement of
the existing architecture. Even though both Academia and Industry have
investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of ICN, achieving the complete
replacement of the Internet Protocol (IP) is a challenging task.
Some research groups have already addressed the coexistence by designing
their own architectures, but none of those is the final solution to move
towards the future Internet considering the unaltered state of the networking.
To design such architecture, the research community needs now a comprehensive
overview of the existing solutions that have so far addressed the coexistence.
The purpose of this paper is to reach this goal by providing the first
comprehensive survey and classification of the coexistence architectures
according to their features (i.e., deployment approach, deployment scenarios,
addressed coexistence requirements and architecture or technology used) and
evaluation parameters (i.e., challenges emerging during the deployment and the
runtime behaviour of an architecture). We believe that this paper will finally
fill the gap required for moving towards the design of the final coexistence
architecture.Comment: 23 pages, 16 figures, 3 table
A role-based software architecture to support mobile service computing in IoT scenarios
The interaction among components of an IoT-based system usually requires using low latency or real time for message delivery, depending on the application needs and the quality of the communication links among the components. Moreover, in some cases, this interaction should consider the use of communication links with poor or uncertain Quality of Service (QoS). Research efforts in communication support for IoT scenarios have overlooked the challenge of providing real-time interaction support in unstable links, making these systems use dedicated networks that are expensive and usually limited in terms of physical coverage and robustness. This paper presents an alternative to address such a communication challenge, through the use of a model that allows soft real-time interaction among components of an IoT-based system. The behavior of the proposed model was validated using state machine theory, opening an opportunity to explore a whole new branch of smart distributed solutions and to extend the state-of-the-art and the-state-of-the-practice in this particular IoT study scenario.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
