Privacy-Aware Load Balancing in Fog Networks: A Reinforcement Learning Approach
Maad Ebrahim, Abdelhakim Hafid
In this paper, we propose a load balancing algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize the performance of Fog Computing for real-time IoT applications. The algorithm…
Resilience and Load Balancing in Fog Networks: A Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Approach
Maad Ebrahim, Abdelhakim Hafid
The advent of Cloud Computing enabled the proliferation of IoT applications for smart environments. However, the distance of these resources makes them unsuitable for delay-sensiti…
Blockchain as privacy and security solution for smart environments: A Survey
Maad Ebrahim, Abdelhakim Hafid, Etienne Elie
Blockchain was always associated with Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and digital asset trading. However, its benefits are far beyond that. It supports technologies like the Internet-of…
Sharding-Based Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocols: Security Analysis
Abdelatif Hafid, Abdelhakim Senhaji Hafid, Adil Senhaji
Blockchain technology has been gaining great interest from a variety of sectors, including healthcare, supply chain and cryptocurrencies. However, Blockchain suffers from its limit…
Transaction Confirmation Time Prediction in Ethereum Blockchain Using Machine Learning
Harsh Jot Singh, Abdelhakim Senhaji Hafid
Blockchain offers a decentralized, immutable, transparent system of records. It offers a peer-to-peer network of nodes with no centralised governing entity making it unhackable and…
Simulating with AcCoRD: Actor-Based Communication via Reaction-Diffusion
Adam Noel, Karen C. Cheung, Robert Schober +2
This paper introduces AcCoRD (Actor-based Communication via Reaction-Diffusion) version 1.0. AcCoRD is a sandbox reaction-diffusion solver designed for the study of molecular commu…
SLA Violation Prediction In Cloud Computing: A Machine Learning Perspective
Reyhane Askari Hemmat, Abdelhakim Hafid
Service level agreement (SLA) is an essential part of cloud systems to ensure maximum availability of services for customers. With a violation of SLA, the provider has to pay penal…
Channel Impulse Responses in Diffusive Molecular Communication with Spherical Transmitters
Adam Noel, Dimitrios Makrakis, Abdelhakim Hafid
Molecular communication is an emerging paradigm for systems that rely on the release of molecules as information carriers. Communication via molecular diffusion is a popular strate…
Active Versus Passive: Receiver Model Transforms for Diffusive Molecular Communication
Adam Noel, Yansha Deng, Dimitrios Makrakis +1
This paper presents an analytical comparison of active and passive receiver models in diffusive molecular communication. In the active model, molecules are absorbed when they colli…
