QuLa: service selection and forwarding table population in service-centric networking using real-life topologies
The amount of services located in the network has drastically increased over the last decade which is why more and more datacenters are located at the network edge, closer to the users. In the current Internet it is up to the client to select a destination using a resolution service (Domain Name System, Content Delivery Networks ...). In the last few years, research on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) suggests to put this selection responsibility at the network components; routers find the closest copy of a content object using the content name as input.
We extend the principle of ICN to services; service routers forward requests to service instances located in datacenters spread across the network edge. To solve this problem, we first present a service selection algorithm based on both server and network metrics. Next, we describe a method to reduce the state required in service routers while minimizing the performance loss caused by this data reduction. Simulation results based on real-life networks show that we are able to find a near-optimal load distribution with only minimal state required in the service routers
Privacy Aware Offloading of Deep Neural Networks
Deep neural networks require large amounts of resources which makes them hard
to use on resource constrained devices such as Internet-of-things devices.
Offloading the computations to the cloud can circumvent these constraints but
introduces a privacy risk since the operator of the cloud is not necessarily
trustworthy. We propose a technique that obfuscates the data before sending it
to the remote computation node. The obfuscated data is unintelligible for a
human eavesdropper but can still be classified with a high accuracy by a neural
network trained on unobfuscated images.Comment: ICML 2018 Privacy in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

A component-based approach towards mobile distributed and collaborative PTAM
Having numerous sensors on-board, smartphones have rapidly become a very attractive platform for augmented reality applications. Although the computational resources of mobile devices grow, they still cannot match commonly available desktop hardware, which results in downscaled versions of well known computer vision techniques that sacrifice accuracy for speed. We propose a component-based approach towards mobile augmented reality applications, where components can be configured and distributed at runtime, resulting in a performance increase by offloading CPU intensive tasks to a server in the network. By sharing distributed components between multiple users, collaborative AR applications can easily be developed. In this poster, we present a component-based implementation of the Parallel Tracking And Mapping (PTAM) algorithm, enabling to distribute components to achieve a mobile, distributed version of the original PTAM algorithm, as well as a collaborative scenario
