End-to-End Quality of Service Over Heterogeneous Networks
The book presents mechanisms, protocols, and system architectures to achieve end-to-end Quality-of-Service (QoS) over heterogeneous wired/wireless networks in the Internet. Particular focus is on measurement techniques, traffic engineering mechanisms and protocols, signalling protocols as well as transport protocol extensions to support fairness and QoS. It shows how those mechanisms and protocols can be combined into a comprehensive end-to-end QoS architecture to support QoS in the Internet over heterogeneous wired/wireless access networks. Finally, techniques for evaluation of QoS mechanisms such as simulation and emulation are presented.

Development of Al-Sumaria axis (Al- Sumaria Bus Station) = تطوير محور السومرية
يهدف هذا المشروع إلى تطوير محور السومرية في دمشق بما يتناسب مع أهمية موقعه الاستراتيجي، وذلك من خلال إعادة تخطيط وتنظيم المنطقة عمرانياً. ركّزنا بشكل خاص على إعادة تصميم محطة السومرية (الكراج) نظراً لدورها المحوري في ربط العاصمة دمشق بالمناطق الجنوبية والجنوبية الغربية داخل القطر، إضافة إلى كونها مركزاً لوسائل النقل الخارجي نحو الأردن ولبنان والمملكة العربية السعودية. جاءت الحاجة إلى إعادة التصميم بسبب الازدحام الكبير وتنوع وسائط النقل العاملة في الموقع من حافلات وسيرفيسات وتاكسيات، ما يؤدي إلى تداخل في الحركة المرورية وصعوبة في إدارة المواصلات. اعتمدنا في دراستنا على تحليل واقع المحور الحالي من النواحي العمرانية والمرورية، ثم وضع مخطط شامل يضمن انسيابية الحركة وتنظيم خطوط النقل. يتضمن التصميم المقترح تطوير بنية تحتية أكثر كفاءة مع تخصيص مسارات واضحة لكل نوع من المركبات، إضافة إلى تحسين المرافق والخدمات داخل المحطة لتلبية احتياجات الركاب.
Designing & Implementing an IDS in SDN
Solving the problem of the various type of unknown attacks that are hitting not only companies but also high level business individuals, of course we know that there is no way to stop the attacks permanently but this project is attempting to reduce these attacks to the possible minimum where it can detect the attack and declare its type so that the hostile can at least know what is the type of attacks on him and what to do in response and build a higher security. This system is implemented using the SDN environment and IDS technology for monitoring the traffic on the network and for detecting the attack and its type. Also the SDN technology has a built-in OpenFlow protocol. To work in an OF environment, any device that wants to communicate to an SDN controller must support the OpenFlow protocol.

Data center networking : Network topologies and traffic management in large-scale data centers
Provides a comprehensive reference in large data center networking. It first summarizes the developing trend of DCNs, and reports four novel DCNs, including a switch-centric DCN, a modular DCN, a wireless DCN, and a hybrid DCN. Furthermore another important factor in DCN targets at managing and optimizing the network activity at the level of transfers to aggregate correlated data flows and thus directly to lower down the network traffic resulting from such data transfers. In particular, the book reports the in-network aggregation of incast transfer, shuffle transfer, uncertain incast transfer, and the cooperative scheduling of uncertain multicast transfer.
Cybersecurity of Digital Service Chains : Challenges, Methodologies, and Tools
This book presents the main scientific results from the H2020 GUARD project.

Coronaviruses with Special Emphasis on First Insights Concerning SARS
This book series focuses on relevant and trending topics in microbiology and infectious diseases with emphasis on emerging pathogens and related diseases.This interdisciplinary series presents latest advances and new approaches in molecular biology as well as insights into human and veterinary clinical medicine. Furthermore, matters in epidemiology, disease management, hygiene and prevention of infectious diseases are discussed. Emerging or novel pathogens are a grand challenge in medical science. Therefore, we focused the first volume of this series on the outbreak of SARS. The advent of SARS is a threat for people around the globe. Our modern technologies in communication and mobility have figuratively transformed the world into a village. This traffic, however, reprensents a new opportunity to spread diseases, particularly such of infectious nature from tiny villages throughout the entire world. In-depth knowledge of a novel pathogen's characteristics will help to manage or event prevent pandemias.
Control problems for conservation laws with traffic applications: modeling, analysis, and numerical methods
Conservation and balance laws on networks have been the subject of much research interest given their wide range of applications to real-world processes, particularly traffic flow. This open access monograph is the first to investigate different types of control problems for conservation laws that arise in the modeling of vehicular traffic. Four types of control problems are discussed - boundary, decentralized, distributed, and Lagrangian control - corresponding to, respectively, entrance points and tolls, traffic signals at junctions, variable speed limits, and the use of autonomy and communication. Because conservation laws are strictly connected to Hamilton-Jacobi equations, control of the latter is also considered.
