Real-world measurements play an important role in understanding the characteristics and in improving the operation of Bit Torrent, which is currently a popular Internet application. Much like measuring the Internet, the complexity and scale of the Bit Torrent network make a single, complete measurement impractical. While a large number of measurements have already employed diverse sampling techniques to study parts of Bit Torrent network, until now there exists no investigation of their sampling bias, that is, of their ability to objectively represent the characteristics of Bit Torrent. In this work we present the first study of the sampling bias in Bit Torrent measurements. We first introduce a novel taxonomy of sources of sampling bias in Bit Torrent measurements. We then investigate the sampling among fifteen long-term Bit Torrent measurements completed between 2004 and 2009, and find that different data sources and measurement techniques can lead to significantly different measurement results. Last, we formulate three recommendations to improve the design of future Bit Torrent measurements, and estimate the cost of using these recommendations in practice.

Todays situation is characterized by an increasing pervasiveness of a plethora of mobile devices featuring different capabilities and exhibiting different system interfaces making the handling of these devices and especially the cooperation between different devices a complex task. In this paper, we consider the sum of all these devices as one emerging system (the swarm) and present an approach of a swarm operating system that on a systemic level manages these devices (local devices give up their autonomy) while providing a common interface to user applications. We provide a programming model for distributed mobile applications that abstracts from error-prone aspects such as distribution and concurrency by giving the programmer a systemic view to system resources. The model allows the programmer to define actions that can be restricted in space and time. Together with a high level goal, an entire application emerges implicitly based on those defined actions. In order to execute such applications, we present an architecture for a runtime system that uses virtualization techniques in order to execute multiple independently developed applications in parallel. The system follows a service-oriented architecture: one of the core services is the space-time scheduler that plans applications (a set of actions) in time and space.

The latest technological and conceptual developments have destroyed the centralized Cloud Computing model, moving Cloud services in emerging ICT infrastructures such as Edge, Fog and Internet of Things (IoT) that are closer to end users. Specifically, current Cloud computing programming models and resource orchestration techniques are challenged by the recent evolution of the IoT phenomenon because smart devices are becoming more and more pervasive, powerful and inexpensive. Therefore, services need to be place near such devices. In this regard, the Osmotic Computing aims to provide a new computing paradigm based on the deployment and migration strategies related to the infrastructures and applications requirements across Cloud, Edge, Fog an IoT layers. In this scientific paper, we investigate the Smart Orchestration of a new software abstraction called MicroELement (MEL), that encapsulates resources, services and data necessary to run IoT applications. Several use cases are presented for describing the Artificial Intelligence processes that enables the MELs deployment.

High performance clusters (HPCs) based on commodity hardware are becoming more and more popular in the parallel computing community. These new platforms offer a hardware capable of a very low latency and a very high throughput at an unbeatable cost, making them attractive for a large variety of parallel and distributedapplications. With adequate communication software, HPCs have the potential to achieve a level of performance similar to massively parallel computers. However, for parallelapplications that present a high communication/computation ratio, it is still essential to provide the lowest latency in order to minimize the communication overhead. In this paper, we are investigating message aggregation techniques to improve parallel simulations of fine-grain ATM communication network models. Even if message aggregation is a well-known solution for improving the communication performance of high latency interconnection networks, the complex interaction between message aggregation and the underlying communication software is often ignored. We show that message aggregation must carefully take into account the characteristics of the communication software to be efficient on an HPC. This methodology can be applied as a preliminary step to tune a message aggregation algorithm for a given combination of hardware architecture and communication software layer.

The airline industry is a very competitive market which has grown rapidly in the past 2 decades. Airline companies resort to traditional customer feedback forms which in turn are very tedious and time consuming. This is where Twitter data serves as a good source to gather customer feedback tweets and perform a sentiment analysis. In this paper, we worked on a dataset comprising of tweets for 6 major US Airlines and performed a multi-class sentiment analysis. This approach starts off with pre-processingtechniques used to clean the tweets and then representing these tweets as vectors using a deep learning concept (Doc2vec) to do a phrase-level analysis. The analysis was carried out using 7 different classification strategies: Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVM, K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes and AdaBoost. The classifiers were trained using 80% of the data and tested using the remaining 20% data. The outcome of the test set is the tweet sentiment (positive/negative/neutral). Based on the results obtained, the accuracies were calculated to draw a comparison between each classification approach and the overall sentiment count was visualized combining all six airlines.
