Privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) specify several obligations involving personal data. A privacy policy is a document that provides information for legal compliance on how personal data ...

Discussing the role of ethics in Research & Innovation is an important aspect of the technological progress we make today, and therefore contributes to sustainable development goal on industry and innovation. In this ...

We propose and compare algorithms to allocate upstream PON capacity, where multiple virtual operators generate independent frame-level allocation over shared infrastructure. Our fragmentation-based approach shows the ...

A hybrid machine learning (HML) model combining a-priori and a-posteriori knowledge is implemented and tested, which is shown to reduce the prediction error and training complexity, compared to an analytical or neural ...

We demonstrate practical software emulation of a software-defined, packetoptical network. Our emulator, Mininet-Optical, models the physical, data plane and control plane behavior, under control of the ONOS SDN controller.

We propose a single-stage downstream scheduler assuring accurate Quality of Service delivery across Virtual Network Operators in a multi-tenant PON. We show performance close to an ideal scheduler in the ability to control ...

Casual talk or social conversation is a fundamental form of spoken interaction. Corpora of casual talk often comprise relatively short dyadic conversations, although research into such talk has found longer multiparty ...

Public speaking is an important skill, the acquisition of which requires dedicated and time consuming training. In recent years, researchers have started to investigate automatic methods to support public speaking skills ...

This paper presents DELTA-LD, an approach that detects and classifies the changes between two versions of a linked dataset. It contributes to the state-of-art: firstly, by proposing a classification to distinctly identify ...
