The future Internet will very likely include some components based on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), as well as existing network technologies. This environment produces the possibility of using one of the strengths of ATM (namely, quality-of-service guarantees) to improve the performance of Internet traffic. In this report, we document some of our work in progress on the use of performance-g...

PSIRP (Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm) is an EU FP7 funded project that has developed a clean-slate architecture for the future Internet, based on the publish-subscribe primitives (rather than the send-receive ones), all the way down to the core networking functions. The PSIRP vision is a pure information-centric Internet architecture, possibly providing remedies to many of the cur...

In todays Internet, a trend towards distributed content delivery systems can be observed. These systems still have to offer the same functionality as centralized architectures, e.g. content localization. While several advantages like load distribution and cost reduction could be gained by using a decentralized distribution platform, they come with a tradeoff in resource consumption. In this pap...

Nowadays, face recognition technology has been greatly developed; for the problem of low recognition rate in the face recognition system of illumination variation, this thesis proposes the face recognition method of illumination tolerance in two-dimensional subspace based on the optimal correlation filter. Firstly, through the use of a particular class 2D-PCA the face image is reconstructed and...

In a future internet of things, an increasing number of every-day objects becomes interconnected with each other. Current network solutions are not designed to connect a large number of co-located devices with different characteristics and network requirements. To cope with increasingly large and heterogeneous networks, this paper presents an ‘incentive driven’ networking approach that optimize...

We information-theoretically reformulate two measures of capacity from statistical learning theory: empirical VC-entropy and empirical Rademacher complexity. We show these capacity measures count the number of hypotheses about a dataset that a learning algorithm falsifies when it finds the classifier in its repertoire minimizing empirical risk. It then follows from that the future performance o...

The FP7 4WARD clean-slate Project envisions overcoming the limitations of current Internet by redefining it to efficiently support complex value-added sessions and services, such as location-based, health-care, criticalmission, and geo processing. The list of networking innovations from 4WARD’s Future Internet (FI) proposal includes a new connectivity paradigm called Generic Path (GP), a common...
