At present, data centers consume a considerable percentage of the worldwide produced
electrical energy, equivalent to the electrical production of 26 nuclear power plants, and …

Green Security is a new research field defining and investigating security solutions under an
energy-aware perspective. Green Security aims at:(1) evaluating the actual security …

Recent studies show that malicious traffic has a significant impact on the behavior of
networks, thus early dropping of malicious packets could enhance network performance …

Access networks consume significant portion of the overall energy consumed by internet.
The power consumption growth rate of internet is higher than any other consumer of energy …

Due to the proliferation of wideband and Internet technologies in the last decade, the risk of
security threats hidden in single packets arose. This had taken ISP networks to the adoption …

This thesis investigates how distributed reinforcement learning-based resource assignment
algorithms can be used to improve the performance of a cognitive radio system. Decision …

Green Security is a new research field aimed at defining and investigating security solutions
under an energy-aware perspective. The aim of Green Security is twofold: 1) evaluating the …

Residential broadband gateways (comprising modem, router, and Wi-Fi access point),
though individually consuming only 5-10 Watts of power, are significant contributors to …

The proliferation of wideband and Internet technologies in the last decade, has generated a
significant growth of the risk of security threats hidden in single packets. This fact has lead …

We consider the problem of energy-efficient base-station (BS) planning for green cellular
network design. There exist a number of criteria for greenness in the literature, but we focus …
