Fog computing has been regarded as an ideal platform for distributed and diverse IoT applications. Fog environment consists of a network of fog nodes and IoT applications are composed of containerized microservices communicating with each other. Distribution and optimization of containerized IoT applications in the fog environment is a recent line of research. Our work took Kubernetes as an orchestrator that instantiates, manages, and terminates containers in multiple-host environments for IoT applications, where each host acts as a fog node. This paper demonstrates the industrial feasibility and practicality of deploying and managing containerized IoT applications on real devices (raspberry pis and PCs) by utilizing commercial software tools (Docker, WeaveNet). The demonstration will show that the application's functionality is not affected by the distribution of communicating microservices on different nodes.

Small-cell-deployments have pulled cellular operators to boost coverage and capacity in high-demand areas (for example, downtown hot spots). The location of these small cells (SCs) should be determined in order to achieve successful deployments. In this paper, we propose a new approach that optimizes small cells deployment in cellular networks to achieve three objectives: reduce the total cost of network installation, balancing the allocation of resources, i.e. placement of each SC and their transmitted power, and providing optimal coverage area with a lower amount of interference between adjacent stations. An accurate formula was obtained to determine the optimum number of SC deployment (NSC). Finally, we derive a mathematical expression to calculate the critical-handoff-point (CHP) for neighboring wireless stations.

This paper describes the deployment of a large-scale study designed to measure human interactions across a variety of communication channels, with high temporal resolution and spanning multiple years—the Copenhagen Networks Study. Specifically, we collect data on face-to-face interactions, telecommunication, social networks, location, and background information (personality, demographics, health, politics) for a densely connected population of 1 000 individuals, using state-of-the-art smartphones as social sensors. Here we provide an overview of the related work and describe the motivation and research agenda driving the study. Additionally, the paper details the data-types measured, and the technical infrastructure in terms of both backend and phone software, as well as an outline of the deployment procedures. We document the participant privacy procedures and their underlying principles. The paper is concluded with early results from data analysis, illustrating the importance of multi-channel high-resolution approach to data collection.

This article tested Victor Turner's contention that writers are often liminal people, on the fringes of their society, institution or group, by researching every military Afghanistan memoir (n=54) published between 2001 and 2010 in five countries (the US, the UK, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands). Three possible military fringe groups were tested (inter-group: conscripts, reservists; intra-group: individually-deployed soldiers). Individually-deployed soldiers were shown statistically to be far more prone to writing than unit-deployed soldiers, providing support for the fringe writer hypothesis. They also exhibited more self-help writing motives than others. Outsiders may not only be in a better position to observe the group, but also have a greater need to express themselves, as the group doesn't (sufficiently) offer them that means of expression, precisely because of their outsider status.

In recent years there has been an exponential growth of
e
-
Governance in India. It is growing to such a
scale
that requires full attention
of the
Government
to ensure
collaboration
among
different
government
departments, private sector
s
and
Non

Go
vernmental Organisations(NGOs)
.
In order to
achieve
successful
e
-
Governance, Government has to
facilitate delivery of services to citizens, b
usiness
houses
and other
public or private
organisations
according to
their requirements.
In this paper, we have pr
oposed
integration of different government departments using a Service Oriented e

approach with web service
s
technology and Service Oriented Architecture(SOA).
The proposed approach
can be effectively
used for
achieving
integration and
interoperability
in an e

.
We have

the working of

approach
through

of the provincial Government of Odisha (India) has been made possible.
