Invited Speech: Evaluation of the impact of Cloud Database services on Industrial IoT Applications"
The fundamental principles of "connectivity to all" and "connectivity with all" pose new and demanding challenges to communication systems and technologies. In a world where the possibility to have a broadband ubiquitous connection is a fundamental need, Countries where this possibility is not warranted risk to have many problems for their development. For instance, despite the very different application scenarios, broadband communication systems and industrial networks, both playing a very important role in the modern society, have compelling needs in terms of data, level of reliability, security and resilience.
To satisfy these requests, several solutions have been proposed, especially for wireless and large scale communications, like 4/5G mobile systems, IoT and-IIoT solutions, LPWANs and THz communications, just to mention few of the advanced technologies in the design and test stage.
Well-defined measurement methodologies are fundamental to avoid for example congestion and coexistence problems, resource usage efficiency issues and electromagnetic interference to ensure a very good Quality of Service (QoS) to the users. Therefore, measurements performed at different layers from physical to application of ISO/OSI stack and cross-layer analyses become fundamental for developers, testers, and users of such technologies and services. Furthermore, the pervasiveness of these emerging communication technologies make the human exposure to generated electromagnetic fields another impelling requirements, and well-accepted measurements procedure are required.
Unfortunately, accurate performance evaluations in real-world scenarios are often quite limited, if not missing at all.
This special session aims to bring together academic and industry professional to a session in which the most recent studies, implementations and proposal about the above-mentioned issues can be presented.
Fields of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Measurements on 5G;
- Measurements on IIoT networks;
- Measurements for THz and millimeter wave communications;
- Measurements for computer and communication networks;
- Simulation, RF measurements, modeling and case studies in the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Analysis and monitoring of industrial communication traffic;
- Performance characterization of industrial distributed systems;
- Integration and coexistence of heterogeneous networks;
- IIoT architectures, protocols, and algorithms;
- Data management in IIoT;
- Cognitive radio development and measurements;
- Measurement for coexistence and interference analysis in wireless networks;
- Measurement on RF telecommunication systems, cellular networks and mobile terminals;
- Evaluation and assessment of human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
