Software-defined networking (SDN) divides a traditional network into a programmable data plane and a centralized control plane. This technology is expected to transform traditional network companies that provide flexible and intelligent network operations. The core component utilized to oversee every data plane action is the controller in the control plane. In order to achieve optimal performances, the controller’s performance and capabilities are therefore crucial. There are lots of controller research available in existing literature. Nevertheless, no qualitative comparison study of OpenFlow-enabled distributed but logically centralized controllers exists for them. This article also includes a quantitative investigation of the performance of several distributed but logically centralized SDN controllers in custom network scenarios using Mininet, as well as a thorough qualitative comparison of them. More precisely, we give a qualitative evaluation of their attributes and classify and categorize 13 distributed but logically centralized SDN controllers according to their capabilities. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive SDN emulation tool called Mininet-based SDN controller performance assessment in this study. Using six performance metrics—bandwidth, round- trip time, delay, jitter, packet loss, and throughput—this work also assesses five distributed but logically centralized controllers against two custom network scenarios (uniform and non-uniform host distribution). Our investigation shows that the OpenDayLight controller performs the best across all performance criteria, with the exception of delay, packet loss and round trip time, where the Ryu controller excels. In the entire experiment, the HyperFlow and ONOS controller performs the worst in terms of all performance metrics. Finally, we discuss detailed research findings on the performance. These experimental results provide a decision-making guideline when selecting a controller.

Over the past decade, there has been a remarkable acceleration in the evolution of smart cities and intelligent spaces, driven by breakthroughs in technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), edge-fog-cloud computing, and machine learning (ML)/Artificial Intelligence (AI). As society begins to harness the full potential of these smart environments, the horizon brightens with the promise of an immersive, interconnected 3D world. The forthcoming paradigm shift in how we live, work, and interact owes much to groundbreaking innovations in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), Blockchain, and Digital Twins (DT). However, realizing the expansive digital vista in our daily lives is challenging. Current limitations include an incomplete integration of pivotal techniques, daunting bandwidth requirements, and the critical need for near-instantaneous data transmission, all impeding the digital VR Metaverse from fully manifesting as envisioned by its proponents. This paper seeks to delve deeply into the intricacies of the immersive, interconnected 3D realm, particularly in applications demanding high levels of intelligence. Specifically, this paper introduces Microverse, a task-oriented, edge-scale, pragmatic solution for smart cities. Unlike an all-encompassing Metaverses, each Microverse instance serves a specific task as a manageable digital twin of an individual network slice. Each Microverse enables on-site/near-site data processing, information fusion, and real-time decision-making within the edge-fog-cloud computing framework. The Microverse concept is verified using smart public safety surveillance (SPSS) for smart communities as a case study, demonstrating its feasibility in practical smart city applications. The aim is to stimulate discussions and inspire fresh ideas in our community, guiding us as we navigate the evolving digital landscape of smart cities to embrace the potential of the Metaverse.

Show abstract| Download PDF| Share

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is extensively utilized for monitoring and managing computer networks. This paper synthesizes and reviews recent research on harnessing SNMP data for developing effective network security solutions driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. The comprehensive device-level visibility and timely data provided by SNMP offers significant potential to enable high-performance intrusion detection systems, security analytics, and real-time monitoring capabilities to protect against evolving cyber threats. However, inherent vulnerabilities in versions like SNMP v1/v2c persist, especially due to default community strings allowing uncontrolled access. A number of techniques like newer SNMPv3 standard have been proposed to improve security through encryption, authentication, and fine-grained access control. Additionally, general best practices around firewalling, traffic monitoring, and compliance audits are recommended for robust SNMP deployment. The literature reviewed demonstrates SNMP’s capabilities in enabling anomaly detection with over 99% accuracy by applying supervised learning methods like random forests and neural networks to SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) data. The network-centric visibility offered by SNMP's extensive statistics on traffic configurations and behaviors provides an invaluable advantage over packetlevel data for developing intelligent detection models. Beyond intrusion detection systems, SNMP data has also shown significant utility for security analytics like attack pattern discovery, bandwidth modeling, and large-scale threat intelligence by aggregating data from distributed network devices. Further research opportunities exist in areas like feature engineering, model optimization, and continued evaluation of evolving attacks patterns. In conclusion, with appropriate secure configurations, SNMP provides the comprehensive and real-time data needed by modern artificial intelligence security applications in a scalable manner due to its device-centric focus, standardized schema, and ubiquitous deployment

As technologies such as eco-friendly ships, electric propulsion vessels, and multi-fuel propulsion systems advance, the scope of IoT applications in maritime field is expanding, resulting in increased complexity in control factors. The gradual progression towards Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is further driving the evolution of ship-based IoT applications. These advancements underscore the necessity for a platform capable of ensuring reliable connectivity between ships and onshore, while also being adaptable for deployment and operation to meet the demands of service availability. The limitations of the existing single cloud architecture become evident in this context. In response to these emerging challenges, this paper presents a cloud-based horizontal data platform structure anchored in the architecture of a Multi-Region Fog Cloud. This approach is tailored to fulfill the crucial requirement of maintaining robust and seamless connectivity for vessels navigating globally. Leveraging the capabilities of the Fog Cloud, the platform enhances service responsiveness by facilitating localized data collection and distribution, complemented by efficient data caching from the Cloud Center, serving users within the same geographical region. We outline a strategic framework for enhancing and executing key ship services within the proposed architecture. These services encompass data sharing between ships to elevate collision avoidance, disseminating weather data for optimized route planning, and constructing an operator training simulator (OTS) environment through the integration of digital twin technology. After, we implement an architecture using the AWS Cloud and gauges latency and Packet Loss Rate (PLR) through connections to Seoul, California, and Frankfurt regions. The test results reveal that latency in different regions is about 2-5 times higher than that in the same region for the payload. Furthermore, packet loss occurred at roughly 2-3 Hz packet generation rate (PGR) in different regions, whereas in the same region, it commenced at approximately 10-20 Hz PGR.

As the demands in reliability and high-degree of automation in industrial applications are increasing exponentially, the current Industry 4.0 trend lies in migrating towards smarter technologies that increase flexibility and provide autonomous operation. To tackle this, manufacturers shifted towards Real-Time Ethernet communication which supports autonomous operation, faster sensor/actuator configuration and high degree of determinism. Nevertheless, the uninterrupted operating principle of legacy industrial systems as well as the system complexity and heterogeneity constitutes the transition to Real-Time Ethernet very challenging. This article proposes a novel method allowing to automate the generation of executable code for Real-Time Ethernet architectures based on high-level programming models. The method is based on a programming model and modular code artifacts for the hardware architecture, employing Real-Time Ethernet communication. Through an tool-supported algorithm the high-level model is linked to the architecture's communication primitives and interfaces. The tool-support reduces significantly the development and debugging effort for Real-Time Ethernet applications and increases the application reliability, since the generated code is based on verified programming models. Additionally, the tool creates dedicated files, which allow automated industrial network configuration without any human intervention. Finally, by embedding firewall policies into the code generation process, the method guarantees cyber-resilience for the Real-Time Ethernet architecture. We demonstrate the proposed method in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) of a Public Power Corporation's Hydroelectric Power Plant, which control the temperature and rotor speed of a power generator. The results demonstrate the method's ability to generate rapidly trustworthy and fault-tolerant code for the autonomous plant operation. The hurdles in time and effort for developing, configuring and debugging Real-Time Ethernet applications can be minimized through a high-level programming model that allows automated generation of executable code that is reusable for similar applications. Such time and effort reduction may pave the way towards the Industry 4.0 area.

Barrier coverage is a fundamental application in wireless sensor networks, which is widely used to protect a region through intruder detection for smart city. In this paper, we study a new branch of barrier coverage, named warning barrier coverage (WBC). Different from the classic barrier coverage, WBC has the inverse protect direction, which protects unexpected visitors by warning them away from the region enclosed by sensor barriers. The WBC holds a promising prospect in many danger keep out applications for smart city. For example, a WBC can enclose the debris area in the sea and alarm any approaching ships in order to avoid their damaging propellers. One special feature of WBC is that the target region is usually dangerous and its boundary is previously unknown. Hence, the scattered mobile nodes need to detect the boundary and form the barrier coverage themselves. It is challenging to form these distributed sensor nodes into a barrier because a node can sense only the local information and there is no global information of the unknown region or other nodes. To this end, we propose a novel solution AutoBar for mobile sensor nodes to automatically form a WBC for smart city. To pursue the high coverage quality, we theoretically derive the optimal distribution pattern of sensor nodes using convex theory. Based on the analysis, we design a fully distributed algorithm that enables nodes to collaboratively move towards the optimal distribution pattern. In addition, AutoBar is able to reorganize the barrier even any node is broken. To validate the feasibility of AutoBar, we develop the prototype of the specialized mobile node, which consists of two kinds of sensors: one for boundary detection and another for visitor detection. Based on the prototype, we conduct extensive real trace driven simulations in various smart city scenarios. Performance results demonstrate that AutoBar outperforms the existing barrier coverage strategies in terms of coverage quality, formation duration, and communication overhead.

Digital healthcare systems play a pivotal role in providing efficient and accessible healthcare services. However, ensuring secure authentication and key agreement mechanisms is essential to protect sensitive patient data and maintain the integrity of the system. The existing methods face limitations in terms of vulnerability to cyber attacks, scalability, and resource utilization. Furthermore, the integration of blockchain technology introduces new complexities that need to be addressed. This research proposes an optimized fuzzy logic approach combined with blockchain technology to address the authentication and key agreement challenges in digital healthcare systems. The proposed solution leverages the flexibility and adaptability of fuzzy logic algorithms to handle uncertainty and imprecision in authentication decisions. By employing fuzzy logic, the system can effectively minimize false positives and false negatives, enhancing the robustness against adversarial attacks. Moreover, the integration of blockchain technology provides a decentralized and tamper-proof infrastructure for securely storing and managing authentication and key agreement data. This ensures transparency and trust in the system, mitigating the risks of unauthorized access and data manipulation. The blockchain-based architecture also enables efficient resource utilization and scalability, allowing the system to handle authentication requests in a timely manner, even in large-scale digital healthcare environments.The proposed method is evaluated by using the NIST Special Database 302 and it shows superior performance compared to existing methods, with minimum False Rejection Rate (FRR), False Acceptance Rate (FAR), and response time. Moreover, the proposed method minimizes communication overhead during the authentication process and resists different cyber attacks including a Replay attack, Man-in-the-middle attack, Denial of Service (DoS) attack, and Impersonation attack. The proposed method achieves excellent performance in terms of security, efficiency, and resistance to various cyber-attacks, making it a promising approach for secure data sharing in P2P cloud environments.

As an emerging network paradigm, Space-Air-Ground integrated networks (SAGIN) has attracted the attentions from academia and industry. That is because SAGIN can implement seamless global coverage and connections among electronic devices in space, air, and ground spaces. Additionally, the shortages of computing and storage resources in mobile devices greatly affect the quality of experiences for intelligent applications. Hence, we devise to integrate SAGIN as an abundant resource pool into mobile edge computing environments (MEC). To facilitate efficient processing, we need to solve the optimal task offloading decisions. Different from the existing MEC task offloading solutions, we have to face some new challenges, such as the fluctuation of processing capability for an edge computing node, the uncertainty of the transmission latency caused by the heterogeneous network protocols, the uncertain amount of uploaded tasks during a period, and so on. In this paper, we firstly describe a task offloading decision problem in new challenge environments. But, we cannot use the standard robust optimization and stochastic optimization methods to obtain the optimal result under the uncertain network environments. In this paper, we propose the condition value at risk-aware distributionally robust optimization algorithm, named as CVAR-DRO, to solve the task offloading decision problem. The proposed CVAR-DRO method combines the distributionally robust optimization and the condition value at risk model for solving the optimal result. And then, We have evaluated our approach in simulation SAGIN environments with the confidence interval, the number of mobile task-offloading and the various parameters. We compare our proposed CVAR-DRO algorithm with the state-of-the-art algorithms, such as the standard robust optimization algorithm, the stochastic optimization algorithm, the DRO algorithm, and the brute algorithm. The experimental results show that CVAR-DRO can get a sub-optimal mobile task-offloading decision. Overall, CVAR-DRO is more robust than others to the new challenges mentioned above in SAGIN.
