A gateway based fog computing architecture for wireless sensors and actuator networks

The technologies of Internet of Things have been wide used in many areas such as intelligent building, logistics, security, and health. One of the key elements of the Internet of Things is Wireless Sensors and Actuators Networks(WSANs). Fog computing, the new concept of the cloud at the edge of the network, is considered the appropriate platform for many Internet of Things services and applications. In this paper we present a gateway based fog computing architecture for WSANs and argue that the key requirements of this architecture. This architecture mainly consists of master nodes and slave nodes, and manages virtual gateway functions, flows, and resources.

Software Reliability Prediction for Open Source Software Adoption Systems Based on Early Lifecycle Measurements

Various OSS(Open Source Software)s are being modified and adopted into software products with their own quality level. However, it is difficult to measure the quality of an OSS before use and to select the proper one. These difficulties come from OSS features such as a lack of bug information, unknown development schedules, and variable documentations. Conventional software reliability models are not adequate to assess the reliability of a software system in which an OSS is being adopted as a new add-on feature because the OSS can be modified while Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software cannot. This paper provides an approach to assessing the software reliability of OSS adopted software system in the early stage of a software life cycle. We identify the software factors that affect the reliability of software system using the COCOMOII modeling methodology and define the module usage as a module coupling measure. We build the fault count models using the multivariate linear regression and performed the model evaluation. Early software reliability assessment in OSS adoption helps to make an effective development and testing strategies for improving the reliability of the whole system.

Early Reliability Prediction: An Approach to Software Reliability Assessment in Open Software Adoption Stage

Conventional software reliability models are not adequate to assess the reliability of software system in which OSS (Open Source Software) adopted as a new feature add-on because OSS can be modified while the inside of COTS(Commercial Off-The-Shelf) products cannot be changed. This paper presents an approach to software reliability assessment of OSS adopted software system in the early stage. We identified the software factors that affect the reliability of software system when a large software system adopts OSS and assess software reliability using those factors. They are code modularity and code maintainability in software modules related with system requirements. We used them to calculate the initial fault rate with weight index (correlated value between requirement and module) which represents the degree of code modification. We apply the proposed initial fault rate to reliability model to assess software reliability in the early stage of a software life cycle. Early software reliability assessment in OSS adoption helps to make an effective development and testing strategies for improving the reliability of the whole system.

Prototyping a data plane virtualization with network processor

We describe a design and preliminary implementation of data plane virtualization which supports both good performance and flexibility. In order to provide both of them, software programmability and hardware acceleration capability provided by network processors is exploited. The initial prototype is implemented on the NP-based line card and performance test is conducted.
