This October issue features two sets of articles: the Special Issue on Smart Electromagnetic Environment and Regular papers. is motivated by exponential growth mobile data traffic associated challenging requirements for wireless infrastructures to guarantee unprecedented link performance levels while minimizing complexity, power consumption, costs communication architecture.

Abstract— Bot networks are a serious threat to cyber security, whose destructive behavior affects network performance directly. Detecting of infected HTTP communications is a big challenge because infected HTTP connections are clearly merged with other types of HTTP traffic. Cybercriminals prefer to use the web as a communication environment to launch application layer attacks and secretly enga...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) have been used as an interesting option in design of communication infrastructures for embedded systems, providing a scalable structure and balancing the communication between cores. Because several data packets can be transmitted simultaneously through the network, an efficient routing strategy must be used in order to avoid congestion delays. In this paper, ant colony al...

This paper presents new strategies for offline traffic engineering, when designing multiservice-UMTS networks, based on an efficient modification of basic genetic optimization techniques. More specifically, the problem setup includes Mobile Internet access as the most emergent trade in the telecommunications industry due to the advancement of cellular smartphones, tablets, notebooks and netbook...

A “Storage-Area Network” (SAN) comprises computers (“Initiators”), storage “block devices” (“Targets”), and a Controller(s). Most SANs use the SCSI protocol over various communication infrastructures. Presently, all Initiator Target traffic must pass through the Controller, severely limiting scalability. We extend the SCSI-3 Transport layer to support distribution, and combine this with SCSI's ...

With the development of new generation information and communication technology, Internet Vehicles (IoV) / Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), which realizes connection between vehicle X (i.e., vehicles, pedestrians, infrastructures, clouds, etc.), is playing an increasingly important role in improving traffic operation efficiency driving safety as well enhancing intelligence level social services.

With large scale botnets emerging as one of the major current threats, the automatic detection of botnet traffic is of high importance for service providers and large campus network monitoring. Faced with high speed network connections, detecting botnets must be efficient and accurate. This paper proposes a novel approach for this task, where NetFlow related data is correlated and a host depend...

Public key infrastructures (PKIs) exist for a number of purposes. One purpose is achieving widespread deployment of secure communication; the PKI makes it easy for two parties to communicate securely. Another purpose is that of secure delivery to a recipient; the PKI makes sure that when Alice sends a message to Bob, it arrives to the very Bob for whom Alice intended it. This white paper descri...

Vehicular travel is increasing throughout the world, particularly in large urban areas. Therefore the need arises for simulating and optimizing traffic control algorithms to better accommodate this increasing demand. In this paper we study the simulation and optimization of traffic light controllers in a city and present an adaptive optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning. We hav...
