Preface
The concept of the Internet has been a tremendous success by this time. Other than being a great source
of fun and enjoyment, millions of people around the world rely on the Internet for various tasks related
to their livelihoods. The overwhelming growth of the Internet and its users is now a reality, which has
put new thoughts among the research community to devise new ideas for giving coverage to a huge
number of people around the globe. Distributed computing is facilitating the growth and proper utiliza-
tion of various internetworking technologies.
This book, entitled “Advancements in Distributed Computing and Internet Technologies: Trends and
Issues,” compiles the recent research trends as well as common issues in the fields of distributed com-
puting, and Internet technologies. The book aims to provide advancements on emerging technologies in
these fields to support the effective design and implementation of distributed computing environments
and Internet-based technologies. It is written mainly for graduate students, researchers, academics, and
industry practitioners, working in the areas of Internet and distributed computing, who want to improve
their understanding of the inter-related topics.
THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOOK
This book is comprised of 18 chapters, which are divided into three sections; Section I: Internet-Based
Systems Design; Section II: Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications; and Section III: Next Genera-
tion Distributed Systems.
Section I of the book focuses on the issues and solutions related to the Internet-based technologies,
such as VoIP, IPTV, and IP geolocation. In Chapter 1, Toral-Cruz et al. study the behavior of jitter and
packet loss of VoIP traffic through the measurement and simulation-based measurements. As a result
of this study, a detailed characterization of an accurate model of the QoS parameters is proposed. In
Chapter 2, Yildirim and Kosar discuss the factors that affect the end-to-end application throughput in
order to provide insight to the characteristics of the end-systems that cause the bottleneck for through-
put. The authors then present a model to predict the optimal parallel stream number and show that the
model gives very accurate results regardless of the type of the network. In Chapter 3, Zare and Rahbar
review the challenges of IPTV in different contexts and present solutions and recommendations for each
challenge. The methods to improve multicasting services in IPTV and the methods to improve QoS in
DSL and wireless networks are also discussed in this chapter. In Chapter 4, Arif presents a systematic
analysis of latency measurements between the Internet nodes and discusses the usages of latency for
measurement-based Internet host geolocation. In Chapter 5, Bobelin gives a general overview of the
ix
process leading to topology reconstruction. The author also describes MINTCar that enables multiple
sources, multiple destinations network tomography to measure available bandwidth. Chapter 6, by
Kousaridas et al. presents an approach for service provisioning that incorporates cognitive features and
promotes itself. In order to prove the viability and applicability of the proposed approach, the enhance-
ment of the IP multimedia subsystem based on the proposed approach is also introduced.
Section II of the book deals with the WSN-related topics, including performance, energy saving,
security, and localization issues. In Chapter 7, Lino et al. make a performance analysis of the IEEE
802.15.4 standard by using the author’s routing protocol, the drain announcement-based routing scheme,
in order to assess the effectiveness of the standard at supporting time-critical event monitoring appli-
cations. In Chapter 8, Lin et al. study multi-attribute data fusion in sensor networks and propose an
energy equilibrium routing method, namely multi-attribute fusion tree, to balance and save energy. In
Chapter 9, Zhang et al. address the security issues due to outliers and present an outlier detection and
countermeasure scheme to identify outliers and consequently defend against their security attacks by
using corresponding countermeasures. In Chapter 10, AbuHmed et al. describe the problem of public
key authentication in context of sensor networks and propose a solution that uses collaboration among
sensor nodes for public key authentication. In order to provide precise localization for indoor sensor
networks, in Chapter 11, Han et al. improve the two-phase positioning algorithm and propose a refer-
ence node selection algorithm based on trilateration, which can provide real-time localization service.
In Chapter 12, Guerrieri et al. define the specific requirements for applications of energy management
in the building context and propose a framework for building management to support heterogeneous
platforms, based on the requirements.
Section III of the book focuses on the future generation of distributed systems, such as pub/sub archi-
tecture, P2P, service oriented network (SON), Grid, and cloud systems. In Chapter 13, Pham and Tran
provide a survey on the publish/subscribe techniques, which allows the nodes of a network to publish
data and subscribe data interests efficiently, for P2P networks. In Chapter 14, Melchiors et al. propose
a P2P-based architecture that supports polling network devices in a very flexible way, as required by
real current Internet networks. In Chapter 15, Duan presents a new SON (Service-Oriented Networking)
paradigm that applies the SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) with network virtualization for integrating
communication networks into distributed computing environments. In Chapter 16, He et al. discuss the
major advances of the long-term evolution of a cellular network technology for mobile phone systems
and its recent research efforts in improving its performance. The chapter is comprehensive, spanning
from the physical layer, link layer, handover process, and even to security issues. In Chapter 17, Cardel-
lini et al. analyze the problem of service level provisioning and the possible strategies that can be used
to address the problem. The authors also propose an approach for the dynamic Quality of Service (QoS)
provisioning of cloud-based applications, which takes into account that the provider has to fulfill the
service level. In Chapter 18, Rahman et al. discuss the major challenges of designing and implement-
ing decentralization in Grid and cloud systems. It also presents a survey of the existing decentralized
distributed systems and technologies regarding how these systems have addressed the challenges.
WHAT NOT TO EXPECT FROM THE BOOK
This book is a not a tutorial that provides detailed introductory information on the basic topics in the
fields of distributed computing and Internet technologies. Even though few chapters contain some in-
