SnackNoC: Processing in the Communication Layer

The article touches upon the problem of implementing energy saving technologies in the road building, in particular, installing solar panels instead of asphalt pavement. The main advantages of using solar panels in the road building and the functions of the pavement including lighting in the dark, energy source for recharging electric cars, which are gaining popularity in Europe; using communication layer of this pavement as high-speed Internet channel and mobile communication; proper traffic bearing surface that could replace conventional asphalt. The roadway equipped with panels acts as a network of individual cells, each of them is controlled by the central computer. This fact helps to replace any panel in case of damage or spoilage. The observation of “smart road” projects designed by the engineers of different countries has been presented. The considered innovative solutions in the road building allow to bring the state of the roads in the fast-growing cities to the necessary ecological level, as well as to solve the problem of slippery roads in winter. The disadvantage of projects of building the roads based on solar batteries at first will be the high cost of manufacturing.

Simulation software in MANET research is vital. Such a tool provides a versatile mechanism to understand all the involved aspects of these particular systems, from the radio interface to the last communication layer. In this chapter, the authors present the SimuMANET project, a tool for both simulation and field tests purpose. It allows the deployment of wireless reconfigurable ad-hoc networks and MANETs, assisted by a real-time graphical user interface (GUI) for network traffic monitoring and management of radio electric features of the links established between the active network nodes. Due to a set of functionalities, such as GUI, network topology visualization, traffic and motion pattern configuration, and real-time network status analysis, the simulator introduced here becomes a valid tool for both research and education targets. Two scenarios with different types of motion and traffic are simulated using the SimuMANET tool, and the results are shown and commented to illustrate some capabilities of this software.

Key Management Scheme

Over the last decade, Internet of Things (IoTs) have brought radical changes to the means and forms of communication for monitoring and control of a large number of applications including Smart Grid (SG). Traditional energy networks have been modernized to SGs to boost the energy industry in the context of efficient and effective power management, performance, real-time control and information flow using two-way communication between utility provides and end-users. However, integrating two-way communication in SG comes at the cost of cyber security vulnerabilities and challenges. In the context of SG, node compromise is a severe security threat due to the fact that a compromised node can significantly impact the operations and security of the SG network. Therefore, in this chapter, Key Management Scheme for Communication Layer in the Smart Grid (KMS-CL-SG) has proposed. In order to achieve a secure end-to-end communication we assign a unique key to each node in the group.

There has been a lot of research done in the area of Intelligent Internet Agents. In this chapter, we would like to report our experience in implementing such an agent. It is called Newshound, and it can be trained to recognize a desired topic, and then scan Usenet newsgroups looking for new examples of that topic. Recently, Newshound has been in use by law enforcement personnel, and in response to their feedback, we have extended its capabilities. Also, we introduce two additional intelligent agents: Chathound and Webhound. Finally, we describe the inter-agent communication layer, the facilitator for cooperation between ANSER’s intelligent agents
