IaC cloud testbed for secure ML based management of IoT services

The use of Machine Learning in many control and management processes is rising fast. This is especially true for the management of cloud native applications and for anomaly detection in cyber-security mechanisms. However, it has been shown that ML is an attack surface on its own, especially when the attack is performed by another ML system....

State of the art and research challenges in the area of autonomous control for a reliable internet of services

The explosive growth of the Internet has fundamentally changed the global society. The emergence of concepts like service-oriented architecture (SOA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Network as a Service (NaaS) and Cloud Computing in general has catalyzed the migration from the...

Revenue maximization with quality assurance for composite web services

Service composition is one of the major approaches in service oriented architecture (SOA) based systems. Due to the inherent stochastic nature of services execution environment the issue of composite service quality assurance within SOA is a very challenging one. Such heterogeneous environment requires dynamic, run-time composition of services....

Requirements for modelling interoperability in knowledge intensive service systems based on BeerLL

Service systems in general take a holistic approach to include several aspects, e.g., organisational structure, economics, people, and IT. They are in principle not limited to organisational boundaries. This paper considers a multi-actor service system of collaborating organisations for value exchange (the Beer Living Lab) to analyse the...

Integrating National C2 and Simulation Systems for BML Experimentation

The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered in 2006 to investigate the potential of a Coalition Battle Management Language for multinational and NATO interoperation of command and control systems with simulation systems. The result of this work has been reported in previous SIW papers. This paper...

NATO MSG-048 C-BML Final Report Summary

The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered in 2006 to investigate the potential of a Coalition Battle Management Language for multinational and NATO interoperation of command and control systems with simulation systems. Its work in defining and demonstrating a basic capability for this purpose has been...

An Expanded C2-Simulation Experimental Environment Based on BML

The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered in 2006 to investigate the potential of a Coalition Battle Management Language for multinational and NATO interoperation of command and control systems with simulation systems. Its work in defining and demonstrating a basic capability for this purpose has been...

Remote discovery and management of end-user devices in heterogeneous private networks

End-to-end broadband service delivery requires remote management of devices in the home network, beyond the home gateway (HG). The service provider can only put limited requirements to these of-the-shelf devices, and therefore has to make intelligent use of their given control and management protocols. The authors propose architectures for the...

Intelligent overload control for composite web services

In this paper, we analyze overload control for composite web services in service oriented architectures by an orchestrating broker, and propose two practical access control rules which effectively mitigate the effects of severe overloads at some web services in the composite service. These two rules aim to keep overall web service performance ...

Owner controlled data exchange in nutrigenomic collaborations: the NuGO information network

New 'omics' technologies are changing nutritional sciences research. They enable to tackle increasingly complex questions but also increase the need for collaboration between research groups. An important challenge for successful collaboration is the management and structured exchange of information that accompanies data-intense technologies....

Combinational Services for NGN based IPTV

This paper describes the general concept of combinational/blended services for IP-based Television (IPTV) services in next generation networks towards its service oriented architecture concept (SOA). Besides introducing general approaches of service reusability (SOA concepts), the service enables (e.g. presence, notification, messaging) as...

NATO MSG-048 Coalition Battle Management Initial Demonstration Lessons Learned and Follow-on Plans

The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered in 2006 to investigate the potential of a Coalition Battle Management Language for multinational and NATO interoperation of command and control systems with modeling and simulation. In its May, 2007 meeting, MSG-048 decided to undertake as its first technical...

Using Advanced Integration Concepts for Trans-sector Innovation- View and Status

Evaluation campaigns and TRECVid

The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVid)is an international benchmarking activity to encourage research in video information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations 1 interested in comparing their results. TRECVid completed its fifth annual cycle at the end of 2005 and in...
