abstract = {Mobile robots are an essential part of the vision of flexible production in a smart factory. To monitor and connect the robots, reliable and low latency communication is necessary. In this work, we conduct packet-based active measurements to evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art 5G standalone system in a production environment. The focus is on whether 5G connections can meet the requirements specified by 3GPP in terms of delay and reliability. The results indicate that without cross-traffic, the requirement of a delay of less than 10 ms for 99.9 % of the packets can be met for the remote control and fleet management of mobile robots. However, as soon as cross-traffic is injected, especially in the uplink, the upper percentiles of the delay increase significantly, thus failing to hold the reliability requirements.},

abstract = {Deterministic communications are required for industrial environments, yet 

their realization is a challenging task. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is 

intended to enable deterministic communication over inexpensive Ethernet 

networks. Standardized by the IEEE TSN working group, TSN enables precise 

control of time synchronization, traffic shaping, reliability enhancements, 

and network administration to answer the demands of industrial control 

applications. Subsequently, there is a significant need to enable turnkey 

research and 

implementation efforts. However, a current lack of open-sourced testbed 

implementations to investigate and study the behavior of TSN network 

devices limits verification to simulation and theoretical models. We 

introduce a publicly available, flexible, and open-sourced measurement 

testbed for evaluating TSN in the context of industrial automation 

applications to address the need to perform real-world measurements. In 

this contribution, we describe our testbed combining 

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and existing open-source tools as 

a platform for in-depth evaluation of TSN devices. Providing detailed TSN 

backgrounds, we describe an in-depth performance analysis for our 

implementation. For a common Tactile Internet scenario, we observe an 

accuracy of close to 5 ns achievable with our publicly available COTS 

setup.},

abstract = {Delivering content from a network via a client-server architecture is 

expensive not only for content owners but also for network operators. 

Moving content closer to the end user is already used in Content Delivery 

Networks (CDN). Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) enables us to shift the content 

even closer by using the storage of end users. But, due to the large media 

files, storage and transport costs for peers increase significantly. 

Network Coding can reduce these costs. However, peers in CDNs tend to be 

highly fluctuating and often need to be restored, making continuous 

availability of data at the network edge a problem. While for uncoded data, 

individual packets lost due to peer failures can be tracked to determine 

availability, the availability of coded data is currently distinguished 

only in two cases: either there are still enough linearly independent 

packets to decode the file, or there are not. However, we have found that 

the network's combined coded cache loses quality over time due to recovery. 

This quality loss, which we refer to as grade, can be measured by very 

cost-effective monitoring. If the grade falls below a certain limit, we can 

intervene in the network by performing a cache refresh to prevent data 

becoming unavailable preemptively. In this paper, we present the cases in 

which such monitoring is useful, how the grade is calculated, and when a 

cache refresh is necessary. The results show that we can reduce network 

traffic by up to 34 % with minimal storage costs through efficient 

monitoring.},

abstract = {5G campus networks, whose advantages include 

flexible deployment, can be a promising candidate for production 

plants to complement existing Wifi-based networks. Toward 

that goal, 5G has to satisfy strict requirements about real-time 

communication to facility novel use cases. However, the realtime- 

capability of 5G is not well understood yet. In this work, we 

deliver insights into the functioning of 5G NR RAN Release 

15, which includes actual one-way delay and Round-Trip Time 

(RTT) measurements for Downlink and Uplink in a private 5G 

Standalone campus network. The extensive measurement results 

reveal that these delays are correlated, and the corresponding 

RTT, i.e. the sum of Downlink and Uplink delays, is discreetly 

clustered, ranging between 12ms and 40ms. The measurements 

also show that the distribution of RTTs is mainly dependent on 

the packet rates and their inter-arrival times. Our study helps 

expand the current understanding of 5G used for latency-critical 

applications. We make the code and the measurement data traces 

publicly available as the IEEE DataPort 5G Campus Networks:

abstract = {Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) have outperformed its electrical counterpart in terms of on-chip processing 

and power consumption by transmitting and computing optical signals at ultra-high speed, using less energy. However, fully 

functional optical transceivers are still rare. This work introduces the design and implementation of a tunable transceiver and an 

optical communication network on top of an external laser source, functioning in the near-Infrared (IR) range. The transceiver 

is composed of the integrated circuit of an optical chip, a hardware acceleration interface, and a customized Digital-toAnalog Converter (DAC) at the transmitter and receiver side. The 

photonic chip was designed and fabricated on CMOS compatible and represents an integrated Optical Phased Array (OPA), 

which modulates light for multi-channel beam control. The twodimensional beam steering relies on an array of waveguide 

grating couplers, which ensures high accuracy and directionality during the narrow beam radiation. In the longitudinal direction, 

the beam is steered by a wavelength tuning mechanism, while for the lateral direction, the lobe is controlled by a network of 

thermo-optical phase shifters. The hardware accelerator, a Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), computes the source data 

with random coefficient in Galois Fields (GF) to generate coded packets, which flow throughout the optical beams. Additionally, 

the accelerator is also responsible for the selection of the input voltage within the DACs to control the optical chip. To ensure 

successful packet transmission when the transmitter and receiver are in motion, a dynamic sliding window protocol based on 

Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) was designed and implemented at the MAC layer. Extensive simulation demonstrates 

that our implementation results in an average packet success rate of 93.58 % with reduction in average delay.},

Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel two-stage approach based on Deep Learning (DL) to reduce overall energy cost for sharing EVs integrated MG by forecasting its state and optimizing EVs scheduling.

When the CPS and its DT periodically exchange information to repair possible desynchronisations between the two systems, this can lead to large data traffic flooding the networks. This work proposes a goal-oriented communication approach based on message identification (ID), which only sends repair data when necessary, but adds control traffic and a probability of not repairing some desynchronisations between the two systems. We compare optimal ID codes and a hash function for detection whether desynchronisation correction is necessary. Our method can reduce the traffic to within 0.3 % of its optimal value while repairing 99.97 % of all desynchronisations for 4 kbit of data and grows even better for larger data.},

abstract = {Network monitoring is an important task in future networks to mitigate outages, guarantee low latency and high throughput, and quickly adapt to changes of network conditions. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables dynamic adaptation to changing network environments through the ability to program network behavior. However, to react properly to changing environments, precise and credible information about performance metrics such as latency is necessary. Recent research activities exploited OpenFlow, an SDN protocol, to measure delays inside the network, without the need for additional hard- or software. In this paper, we propose an improved method to measure one-way delays, which can handle asymmetrical delays between the SDN controller and the switches. We implemented our approach in a hardware testbed to evaluate it in a setup with asymmetrical delays and traffic loads. The results show that we are able to measure asymmetrical delays in the network. Additionally, the proposed solution is capable of discovering the network topology and therefore gives together with the performance metrics the information for efficient routing decisions. In addition, we make the source code of our implementation publicly available.},

abstract = {In recent years, robots are taking on more and more tasks throughout many different application domains. Many of those robots work fully automatically and without human intervention. However, more complex tasks still require to be done by a human in remote control. One example would be robot remote surgery. Remote controlling a robot requires ultra-low latency on the communication, to allow fast and precise movements. To make this possible with today's systems, the human operator must be in the same room. Enabling the operator to operate from anywhere around the world, would bring a huge benefit as travels for highly trained experts can be minimized. In order to allow wider distances between the operator and robot, we propose an AI-based prediction. Predicting the robots behavior can generate negative latency, which improves the precision of control. In large-scale communication networks, the main part of experienced latency comes from the propagation delay and is therefore not avoidable. Predicting upcoming data before it actually arrives, can create a zero-latency experience for the human operator. To prove this idea in the context of remote robot control, we propose JAVRIS. Using the CMIYC demonstrator as example, JAVRIS improved the score of an inexperienced user by over 1000%.},

abstract = {In the deployments of cyber-physical systems, specifically predictive maintenance and Internet of Things applications, a staggering amount of data can be harvested, transmitted, and recorded. Although the collection of large data sets can be used for many solutions, its utilization is made difficult by the increased overhead on the transmission and limited processing capabilities of the underlying physical system. For such highly correlated and extensive data, this situation is usually described as data-rich, information-poor. We propose for the first time a novel one-stage method, called Information-Abstraction-Net (IA-Net), for the detection of abnormal events in multi-object anomaly detection scenarios by 

utilizing highly abstracted sensory information instead of the entire sampled data set to elevate the transmission and analysis needs of the system. We find that the computation complexity of IA-Net is reduced by half compared to competing solutions and the detection accuracy is increased by about 5-47%, as well.},

abstract = {Currently, most IoT services are hosted centralized 

in a cloud. However, they rely on data gathered by numerous 

distributed sensors, which require to be connected to these clouds. 

At the moment this is realized with non-IP based proprietary 

wireless sensor networks that use inflexible networking concepts 

and require to be carefully configured. 

The Thread protocol, with its implementation OpenThread, is 

a new wireless mesh approach to solve this problem. OpenThread 

is maintained by the Thread group, which is an organization 

supported by almost 300 companies, including Google, Amazon, 

and Apple. Its design is based on an IPv6, for seamless integration 

in existing IP networks. 

This work, after a short a practical overview of the Thread 

protocol in general, investigates the network performance in 

different interference scenarios based on results from a hardware 

testbed, set up in an office building. This testbed is based on 

the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 System on a Chip (SoC), 

running OpenThread from the official github repository. Besides 

a thorough examination for round-trip-time (RTT) and losses, a 

stability test was performed over five weeks, to see the impact 

of interference during business hours. We measured RTTs in 

the range of 10 to 100 ms and losses up to 40% depending 

on interfering wireless services. Despite its obvious advantages, 

from our experimental results, it is evident how some practical 

limitations make OpenThread not always a good choice.},

Using the graphical user interface including the human machine interface, the audience can generate hardware errors in the form of bit flips and see their effects live on the robot. In this paper we will be showing a new technology, the SIListra Safety Transformer (SST), that makes it possible to detect those kind of random hardware errors, which can subsequently make safety-critical applications more reliable.},

abstract = {Live migration is a technology that seamlessly relocates a virtualized service between physical hosts, which allows services to rapidly adapt to environmental changes. Despite the large amount of research, mainly aiming at minimizing the downtime, there is still a lack of understanding of its performance using the most common off-the-shelf virtualization technologies, namely docker containers and KVM. Understanding the barriers of live migration will give companies the knowledge on whether the migration is possible or not, when the migration needs to be triggered, how many resources the migration will use, and under which conditions the migration will be successful. Moreover, it helps to detect bottlenecks, and also to identify which parts of the migration need to be improved. Towards a better understanding of live migration, we build a testbed and use it to migrate a computation-intensive application with docker and KVM. We evaluate the service downtime, migration time, and network usage under different conditions. The results show that KVM outperforms docker in most of the scenarios, with some critical exceptions where only docker manages to perform migration.},

paved the way for a new field of research: Tactile Internet with

the current Internet as the digital infrastructure for sharing visual and 

auditory information globally, the TaHiL research will enable humans to 

share tactile and haptic information and thus veridically immerse 

themselves into virtual, remote or inaccessible real environments to 

exchange skills and expertise with other humans or machines for 

applications in medicine, industry, and the Internet of Skills.},

abstract = {Tactile Internet (TI) applications such as industry automa-tion, connected 

autonomous cars, augmented reality and remotesurgery, are based on secure 

data transmissions at a very lowend-to-end latency. In order to fulfill 

those requirements in real applications, it is necessary to implement 

traffic encryption on the physical layer rather than the application layer. 

Nevertheless, the aforementioned integration is a computing intensive task, 

in which many arithmetic operations are involved. Therefore, hardware 

acceleration may be a solution to provide enough throughput, while 

maintaining low power consumption. In this paper we present the 

implementation of hardware acceleratorsfor cryptographic algorithms on 

heterogeneous multi-core dedicated hardware, using the state-of-the-art 

WolfSSL software embedded library. By comparing our implementation to 

software-only solutions in terms of throughput and delay using variabledata 

sets, we find performance improvements up to three orders of magnitude as 

well as around 80% latency reductions in the computing time.},
