Optimal Buffer Resource Allocation in Wireless Caching Networks

2019

Wireless caching systems have been exhaustively investigated in recent years. Due to limited buffer capacity, and unbalanced arrival and service rates, the backlogs may exist in the caching node and even cause buffer overflow. In this paper, we first investigate the relationship among backlogs, buffer capacity, data arrival rate and service rate, utilizing the martingale theory which is flexible in handling any arrival and service processes. Then given a target buffer overflow probability, the minimal required buffer portion is determined. If the devoted buffer capacity can fulfill all serving users' minimal buffer requirements, an optimization problem is constructed with the objective to m…

Decision-cache based XACML authorisation and anonymisation for XML documents

2012

Author's version of an article in the journal: Computer Standards and Interfaces. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csi.2011.10.007 This paper describes a decision cache for the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) that supports fine-grained authorisation and anonymisation of XML based messages and documents down to XML attribute and element level. The decision cache is implemented as an XACML obligation service, where a specification of the XML elements to be authorised and anonymised is sent to the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) during initial authorisation. Further authorisation of individual XML elements according to the authorisation specifi…

Value Co-Creation and Co-Destruction in an IS Artifact: Contradictions of Geocaching

2016

In this paper we study how value co-creation and value co-destruction are present in an IS artifact. We apply the concept of contradiction (structural tension) to study an IS artifact, geocaching. Based on the analysis of interview data and discussion forum postings, we identified the following contradictions: i) introducing secret society to outsiders, ii) geocaching by breaking its rules, iii) experiencing nature while consuming it, iv) building community occurs with competition. These contradictions show that value co-creation and co-destruction interacts in this IS artifact. Based on the results, we propose that IS research should adopt the concepts of value co-creation and co-destructi…

Context-aware data caching for 5G heterogeneous small cells networks

2016

In this work, we investigate the problem of context-aware data caching in the heterogeneous small cell networks (HSCNs) to provide satisfactory to the end-users in reducing the service latency. In particular, we explore the storage capability of base stations (BSs) in HSCNs and propose a data caching model consists of edge caching elements (CAEs), small cell base stations (SBSs), and macro cell BS (MBS). Then, we concentrate on how to efficiently match the data contents to the different cache entities in order to minimize the overall system service latency. We model it as a distributed college admission (CA) stable matching problem and tackle this issue by utilizing contextual information t…
