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.},

abstract = {\"{A}pplying renewable energy in smart micro grid (MG) is increasingly receiving attention to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the mismatch between supply and demand hinders the realization of this process. With the widespread use of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) and the development of emerging Mobile Edge Clouds (MECs), intelligent energy optimization becomes a way to the addressee the challenge. 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. Our simulation results show that the joint design of forecasting and optimization reduces the overall energy consumption and the payment to the external grid."},

abstract = {Digital Twin (DT) implementations can reduce latency drastically in future communication systems for steering and control of cyber-physical systems (CPS). 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%.},

functions of mobile robots, such as navigation, are computationally 

expensive. When deployed at the robot, those functions demand high energy 

consumption and result in shorter operation time. Offloading SLAM to an 

Edge Cloud (EC) can significantly reduce the robot's computing demand and 

resources, subsequently reducing energy consumption. We offload 

intelligence of mobile robot control functionality, i.e., navigation, 

localization, and control to an EC. The EC processes sensor data and sends 

the robot the directional velocities. Meanwhile, a 5G wireless connection 

ensures the necessary low latencies and high throughputs. We demonstrate 

the feasibility of offloading SLAM and navigation in an EC based on a use 

case in automotive production. Additionally, we developed a digital twin of 

the robot and visualized its current sensor data.},

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 = {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.},

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 = {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.},

abstract = {The advent of Microservice (MS) architectures has led to increasingly complex communication patterns between distributed web applications in the cloud. In order to process an incoming request, each MS must invoke multiple remote API calls to the MSes that it is connected to along a service dependency graph. This allows attackers to exploit long-running remote API calls along the performance-critical path to cause application DoS, and potentially amplify subsequent inter-MS communication. This paper focuses on mitigating a class of stealthy, low-volume DDoS attacks that are launched internally from within and exploit this. The attacker uses the MSes under its control to disguise then send and resource-heavy requests to target MSes in a way that is indistinguishable from benign requests. We propose a probabilistic algorithm to proactively identify MSes involved in DDoS, and mitigate the attack in real-time.},

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

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