Network Function Virtualization (NFV), coupled with Software Defined Networking (SDN),
promises to revolutionize networking by allowing network operators to dynamically modify and
manage networks. Operators can create, update, remove or scale out/in network functions (NFs)
on demand, construct a sequence of NFs to form a so-called service function chain (SFC) and
steer traffic through it...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drone systems equipped with cameras are extensively used in different surveillance scenarios and often require real-time control and high-quality video transmission. However, unstable network situations and various transport protocols may result in impairments during video streaming, which in turn negatively impacts user’s quality of experience (QoE). In this...
Increased ubiquity of sensing via smart devices and IoT devices in smart homes and smart healthcare domains, for example, has caused a surge in sensitive and personal data generation and use from browsing habits to purchasing patterns to real-time location to personal health information. Unfortunately, our ability to collect and process data has overwhelmed our ability to protect that...
