Routing based on User Requirements

The versatility of the internet enables many applications that play an increasingly bigger role in our society. However, users have little control over the route that their internet traffic takes, which prevents them from controlling who sees their packets and how their traffic is handled. Researchers have proposed an extension to the internet,...

Placement Strategies to Monitor the Inter-Autonomous System Routing Information

Inter-Autonomous System (AS) route monitoring is the process of collecting the inter-AS routing information. This information flows on the Internet in the form of BGP UPDATE messages, and the BGP data are the messages obtained by the monitors. Existing methods of monitor placement rely on the network topology which provides inadequate visibility...

Approaches for Dialog Management in Conversational Agents

Dialog agents, like digital assistants and automated chat interfaces (e.g., chatbots), are becoming more and more popular as users adapt to conversing with their devices as they do with humans. In this paper, we present approaches and available tools for dialog management (DM), a component of dialog agents that handles dialog context and...

Inferring relationship types and simulating BGP traffic between Autonomous Systems using the valley-free constraint

In today's world, the Internet is the backbone of our society. The relatively unknown Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and with its vulnerabilities, gives malicious parties an opportunity for abuse. By improving the currently known AS relation data set and by simulating BGP traffic this abuse is better spotted. Kastelein's topology generating...
