<font face="Palatino Linotype"><b>Abstract:QoS-aware deployment of Fog applications</b><br>
Deploying composite applications over Fog infrastructures is challenging due to the heterogeneity and scale of such infrastructures. Application components must be provided with the software and hardware capabilities they need, while communications should meet the desired QoS (e.g., latency and bandwidth). On the other hand, different Fog and Cloud nodes provide different software and hardware capabilities, and actual communication links support different QoS over time.
In this talk we will discuss some of the problems of determining how to “best” deploy composite applications over Fog infrastructures, and the benefits of automated tools capable of supporting human-driven application management at the edge.

<p align="justify"><font face="Palatino Linotype"><b>Abstract:Smart Multimedia Services Distribution Using Software Defined Adaptive Cognitive Networks</b><br>
Current networks have much limitation due to their rigidity, which is given by 
static configurations mainly based on commands or static scripts. The resource 
provisioning is less automatic and the efficiency decreases. Moreover, 
virtualization and cloud are changing radically the traffic patterns of the data 
center. This is mainly due to the communication between servers, because the 
applications are split in many virtual machines that must communicate. <br>
Software Defined Networks (SDNs) are able to divide the control plane from the 
data plane, which allow higher programmable, automatic and flexible networks. In 
SDNs, we do not need to program node by node, but by a centralized manner 
through software that can be implemented independently of the manufacturer or 
the model (if they are supporting the same communication protocol). SDNs provide 
a more open network and allow accessing better to certain intelligent functions, 
which can contribute higher intelligence to the network operating. These 
features make SDNs ideal to have a system that is able to adapt with the aim of 
having higher performance. <br>
Cognitive networks use the information gathered from the network, such as 
observing traffic patterns for different network devices or the used protocols, 
the behavior of the users and servers, and the additional information that can 
be taken from the wireless networks (user movement, location, etc.), in order to 
implement a series of procedures. In order to achieve this goal, artificial 
intelligence and automatic learning will be used over the available information. 
This will allow improving a specific objective and achieve higher system 
performance.<br>
This speech will show the steps performed in a cooperative project where we 
designed and developed a network architecture and the communication protocol, 
that use the cognitive information taken from the data frames, the users and 
servers behavior, and the traffic patterns (traffic changes, quality of service 
parameters, state of the frames, etc.) with the aim of improving the multimedia 
delivery performance. The designed network is able to self adapt in each case. 
Network devices gather network parameters and patters that are used by a smart 
network algorithm to evolve behaviors based on the empirical data. The cognitive 
adaptive software defined network can be implemented in a wide range of 
multimedia applications.</font></td></tr>

Demo Title:Prototyping Platform for IOT Applications Using TCP/IPv6 Over WSN <br>
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an essential part and key enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), where hundreds or thousands of small smart sensing or control nodes are interconnected to transmit sensing/monitoring information or control instructions. In order to implement sensing/monitoring and/or control services at a large scale with seamless connection to the Internet, IPv6 would be the best solution due to its many advantages including its highly scalable address scheme, stronger security, and full Internet compliance. Therefore, IPv6 over WSN is getting more research and development (R&D) attention from both industry and academia. In this talk/demo, after a brief introduction to IoT, we will showcase a research and development platform with two typical applications scenarios built on top of it, i.e., sensing/monitoring and control, all using IPv6 over WSN. We will also show how this platform has been adopted to provide an effective end-to-end solution for sensing/monitoring and control operations in the context of robot-based solar panel cleaning.
