In this paper the problem of creating a wireless infrastructure to control a vertical transportation system is addressed. The work assumes the use of the standard IEEE 802.15.4 as wireless control field bus. Throughout the paper different network topologies are analyzed together with the network management algorithms. As a result of this analysis the tree topology is selected and experimentally verified as the most suitable for the vertical transportation system.
Cloud environments can provide virtualized, elastic, controllable and high-quality on-demand infrastructure services for supporting complex distributed applications. However, existing IaaS (Infrastructureas-a-Service) solutions mainly focus on the automated integration or deployment of generic applications; they lack flexible infrastructure planning and provisioning solutions and do not have rich support for the high service quality and trustworthiness required by social network applications. This paper introduces an automated cloud virtual infrastructure solution for social network applications, called Co-located and Orchestrated Network Fabric (CONF), which was conducted in a recently funded EU H2020 project ARTICONF. CONF aims to improve the existing infrastructure support in the DevOps lifecycle of social network applications to optimize QoS performance metrics as well as ensure fast recovery in the presence of faults or performance drops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
