IENCE C • •S T S E C Small world for dynamic wireless cyber-physical N O H I N systems S O I V Dissertation L • O S 142 G T Y H • R Industries and consumer markets are today increasingly using G I E L VTT SCIEN CE S H E G services exposed from wireless sensor and actuator networks, A I R H C cyber-physical machine-to-machine systems. The motivation for H the research arises from problems detected in the remote 1 4 2 interaction with embedded devices over dynamic wireless networks in such systems. The selected approach is based on the application of the small- world paradigm to cyber-physical systems. It is here assumed that the concept of small world, "six degrees of separation", can be expanded to also cover communication with wireless embedded devices in cyber-physical systems context. The main contributions are the technical enablers referred to as dynamic communication spaces, dynamic M2M service spaces, configuration and remote use of services, communication overlay, access systems selection, integrated mobility, secure ad hoc networking, situated opportunistic communication, hierarchical networking for small-world networks, and short-cuts for network optimization. The enablers have been evaluated as separate technical methods and means by means of experiments and/or simulations. According to the evaluations, the enablers seem to work well as separate building blocks and that they can be combined to expand the concept of small world to also cover communication with embedded devices. Wireless short-cuts can improve the scalability and efficiency of dynamic wireless networking and weak links are essential in the neighbour discovery process. -
Ubuntu Kung Fu
Prepared exclusively for Alison Tyler Download at Boykma.Com What readers are saying about Ubuntu Kung Fu Ubuntu Kung Fu is excellent. The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

An User & Developer Perspective on Immutable Oses
An User & Developer Perspective on Dario Faggioli Virtualization SW. Eng. @ SUSE Immutable OSes [email protected] dariof @DarioFaggioli https://dariofaggioli.wordpress.com/ https://about.me/dario.faggioli About Me What I do ● Virtualization Specialist Sw. Eng. @ SUSE since 2018, working on Xen, KVM, QEMU, mostly about performance related stuff ● Daily activities ⇒ how and what for I use my workstation ○ Read and send emails (Evolution, git-send-email, stg mail, ...) ○ Write, build & test code (Xen, KVM, Libvirt, QEMU) ○ Work with the Open Build Service (OBS) ○ Browse Web ○ Test OSes in VMs ○ Meetings / Video calls / Online conferences ○ Chat, work and personal ○ Some 3D Printing ○ Occasionally play games ○ Occasional video-editing ○ Maybe scan / print some document 2 ● Can all of the above be done with an immutable OS ? Immutable OS: What ? Either: ● An OS that you cannot modify Or, at least: ● An OS that you will have an hard time modifying What do you mean “modify” ? ● E.g., installing packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you cannot install packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you will have an hard time installing packages 3 Immutable OS: What ? Seriously? 4 Immutable OS: Why ? Because it will stay clean and hard to break ● Does this sound familiar? ○ Let’s install foo, and it’s dependency, libfoobar_1 ○ Let’s install bar (depends from libfoobar_1, we have it already) ○ Actually, let’s add an external repo. It has libfoobar_2 that makes foo work better! ○ Oh no... libfoobar_2 would break bar!! ● Yeah. It happens. Even in the best families distros -

Performance Testing Suricata The Effect of Configuration Variables On Offline Suricata Performance A Project Completed for CS 6266 Under Jonathon T. Giffin, Assistant Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology by Winston H Messer Project Advisor: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation December 2011 Messer ii Abstract The Suricata IDS/IPS engine, a viable alternative to Snort, has a multitude of potential configurations. A simplified automated testing system was devised for the purpose of performance testing Suricata in an offline environment. Of the available configuration variables, seventeen were analyzed independently by testing in fifty-six configurations. Of these, three variables were found to have a statistically significant effect on performance: Detect Engine Profile, Multi Pattern Algorithm, and CPU affinity. Acknowledgements In writing the final report on this endeavor, I would like to start by thanking four people who made this project possible: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation: For allowing me the opportunity to carry out this project under his supervision. Victor Julien, Lead Programmer, Open Information Security Foundation and Anne-Fleur Koolstra, Documentation Specialist, Open Information Security Foundation: For their willingness to share their wisdom and experience of Suricata via email for the past four months. John M. Weathersby, Jr., Executive Director, Open Source Software Institute: For allowing me the use of Institute equipment for the creation of a suitable testing -
Development of Cloud-Based Media Player Using Microsoft Azure Services
eISSN:2600-7920 INTI JOURNAL Vol.1, 2018 (24) Development of Cloud-Based Media Player using Microsoft Azure Services Chong Fong Kim1, Chan Yong Kai 2 and Deshinta Arrova Dewi3 1,2,3 Faculty of Information Technology and Science, INTI International University, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Playing songs offline consumes internal storage capacity of a device. Besides, playing songs, most of the time is an individual acting as a hobby and many song listeners do not have a common platform to share their hobby with others. By putting it on the cloud, the internal storage capacity can be reduced and the chance to share the common hobby with others is available. This paper aims to present the development of a Cloud-Based Media Player (CBMP) to ease the users in managing their song files and sharing with others. The CBMP utilizes a website as the main controller and connects to the Microsoft Azure Services to host the music database. Two separate sections are created for the user to upload and download their songs as private and share sections. Accordingly, users can choose the favored section they want to access. Not only features to upload and download songs are provided, but the CMBP also provides a search function that enables users to search songs in both different to make a search process faster. Due to latency in the cloud services, the suggested song format for CMBP is.MP3 files. The .MP3 files promote better compression rate than .MP4. Besides, .MP4 has higher latency that makes users waiting longer for processing the songs. -
