Fog/edge computing, function as a service, and programmable infrastructures, like software-
defined networking or network function virtualisation, are becoming ubiquitously used in …

Recent years have seen significant growth in the cloud computing market, both in terms of
provider competition (including private offerings) and customer adoption. However, the …

The cloud is scalable and cost-efficient, but it isn't ideal for hosting all applications. Fog
computing proposes an alternative of offloading some computation to the edge. Which …

A distributed system's functionality must continuously evolve, especially when environmental
context changes. Such required evolution imposes unbearable complexity on system …

System integration from sub-systems has always been a major engineering problem, which
is progressively exacerbated by (1) sub-systems becoming more diverse, self-* and …

Middleware is software that resides between applications, services, and their underlying
distributed architecture and platforms. Middleware provides several types of capabilities to …

The strong divide between applications and the network control plane is desirable, but
keeps the network in the dark regarding the ultimate purpose of applications and, as a result …

Internet of Things (IoT) systems have seen recent growth in popularity for city and home
environments. We report on the design, deployment, and use of the IoT infrastructure for …

As the number of connected devices rapidly increases, largely thanks to uptake of IoT
technologies, there is significant stimulus to enable opportunistic interactions between …

In this paper, an ensemble of machine learning classifiers approach is used to classify the
sentiment polarity of Arabic text. This approach is based on the majority voting algorithm in …
