Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um sistema reconfigurável, baseado em OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative) para gateway residenciais utilizando-se da tecnologia FemtoJava, com o objetivo de automatizar a descoberta de serviços. Como sistemas de automação residencial/predial normalmente incluem produtos de diferentes fabricantes e possuem protocolos de comunicação diferentes, é necessário o uso de um agente que gerencie essa comunicação. Para que isso ocorra com sucesso, a OSGi Aliança oferece um conjunto de especificações numa plataforma aberta, em Java, para a entrega de vários tipos de serviços aos usuários finais. Utilizando as características do framework OSGi focados em ambientes inteligentes, é proposto um novo sistema de controle através desta arquitetura orientada a serviços para gateway residencial. O sistema foi implementado em uma plataforma reconfigurável da família Xilinx com o auxílio da ferramenta de síntese ISE. O trabalho também apresenta a validação da arquitetura proposta em um estudo de caso utilizando-se de dois módulos para interagir com o meio simulando um sistema de controle de temperatura. / This work presents the development of a reconfigurable system based on OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative) home gateway using the FemtoJava technology, aiming to automate the discovery of services.

With the vigorous development of Internet of things, IoT gateways as the communication bridge of the whole IoT system has attracted more and more people’s attention. So the objective of this project is to measure and evaluate the performance of two kinds of IoT gateways including Arduino Uno and Vinnter IoT gateway. In order to reach this objective, the concrete implementation is to create a demonstrator via JAVA program to establish serial communication and measure the latency and throughput of respective IoT gateways. The measurement is implemented under a specific scenario which is to control the action of an actuator such as a LED connecting with IoT gateways via GPIO pins. Finally, the results will be presented via statistical data and line charts. Through analyzing the results, the performance of these two IoT gateways can be compared in terms of latency and throughput easily. Besides implementing the measurement in practice, this paper also involves the scientific research of many different industrial-level IoT gateways and their performance are compared on both hardware and software sides. Consequently, this thesis will show you the comparison of various IoT gateways both in theory and in practice.

A Neogene contourite depositional system was identified and mapped along the DeSoto Slope in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, U.S.A. A series of drift deposits comprising the larger contourite depositional system were interpreted from a 2-D industry seismic data set. The now subsurface drift deposits are adjacent to the anomalous seabed feature, the DeSoto Canyon, and these data suggest contourite deposition and ocean currents are in integral part of the canyon’s depositional history. The contourite depositional system is underlain by an extensive, middle Miocene aged, erosional unconformity formed by ocean currents. The timing of this erosional surface is in alignment with the widely accepted premise that the Miocene represented a transitional period in Gulf of Mexico basin circulation. The discovery of this contourite depositional system adds to an established list of Miocene-aged features pointing to the onset of enhanced Loop Current circulation in the Neogene Gulf of Mexico.

Ocean gateways facilitate water circulation between ocean basins, and therefore directly impact thermohaline circulation and global climate. In order to better predict the effects of future climate change, it is critical to constrain past changes in ocean gateway behavior, and corresponding changes in thermohaline circulation, particularly during analogue periods for modern climate change. The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is a primary ocean gateway and vital component of the global conveyor that transports water from the Pacific Ocean into the Indian Ocean, however due to a lack of long and continuous sedimentary records from locations under its influence, changes in ITF behavior remain poorly constrained. In this study organic geochemical biomarkers preserved in marine sediments are used to reconstruct both sea surface and continental air temperatures in Northwest (NW) Australia from sediments spanning the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP), a critical carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature analogue period for modern climate change spanning 3.3-3.0 Ma. These sediments were collected during IODP Expedition 356 from Site U1463, located near the outlet of the ITF, and are therefore sensitive to changes in ITF behavior over time. Here, NW Australian air temperatures were reconstructed from 1.5-3.5 Ma using the MBT’5ME proxy (Weijers et al., 2007a; De Jonge et al., 2014a), and offshore sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were reconstructed using both the TEX86 proxy (Schouten et al., 2002; Tierney & Tingley, 2014) and the Long Chain Diol Index (LDI; Rampen et al., 2012). Global climate events, including Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 55, 63, 64, 82, 84, 88, 92, G10, G18, G20, G22, and M2 (Lisiecki & Raymo, 2005) are apparent in all of our records. TEX86 SSTs suggest a stronger cooling signal during MIS Stages G18, G20 and G22 relative to cooling during MIS M2, however LDI SSTs do not yield the same result. Overall, all three proxies indicate higher temperatures across the Pliocene and a cooling trend from ~1.7-1.5 Ma. Cooling occurs during an arid interval identified by Christensen et al. (2017), from 2.4-1.0 Ma, which suggests that offshore cooling contributed to shifts in NW Australian continental hydrology. Cooling from 3.5-1.5 Ma at Site U1463 was likely a reflection of 1) constriction of the ITF from 5-2 Ma and a switch from warm South Pacific to cool North Pacific source waters, and 2) an increase in meridional SST gradients at 1.8 Ma; the particularly strong cooling signal identified in all three records at 1.7 Ma is likely a direct response to the latter. This study helps elucidate ITF variability and shifts in thermohaline circulation across the Plio-Pleistocene and the mPWP, which will help modelers better predict the effects of future climate change.

This thesis deals with the routing of data traffic to multiple gateways with a network operating system MikroTik RouterOS, which has become widespread in the small firms and home users. It is aimed to describe the problem with using multiple gateways. RouterOS description itself and its core components needed to solve this issue, such as routing, packet marking and quality assuranceservices. It also deals with the description of the particular design and testing. The proposedsolution is verified on the example of a real situation. Finally, the proposed solution is compared to alternative solutions, commonly used in practice.

In this thesis, I examined various signalling both in wired and mobile networks, with more emphasis on SIGTRAN. The SIGTRAN is the protocol suite applicable in the current new generation and next-generation networks, most especially as it enables service provider to be able to interpolate both wireline and wireless services within the same architecture. This concept is an important component in today’s Triple-play communication, and hence this thesis has provided a broad view on Signalling and Protocol Gateways in Traditional and Next Generations Networks. Signal flow in a typical new generation network was examined by carrying out discrete event simulation of UMTS network using OPNET modeller 14.5. Through both Packet-Switching (PS) and Circuit-Switching (CS) signalling, I was able to examine the QoS on a UMTS. Precisely, I looked at throughput on UMTS network by implementing WFQ and MDRR scheduling schemes.

La rapide progression des technologies sans fil au cours de ces dernières années a vu naître de nouveaux systèmes de communication dont les réseaux véhiculaires. Ces réseaux visent à intégrer les nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication dans le domaine automobile en vue d’améliorer la sécurité et le confort sur le réseau routier. Offrir un accès Internet aux véhicules et à leurs occupants peut sans doute aider à anticiper certains dangers sur la route tout en rendant plus agréables les déplacements à bord des véhicules. Le déploiement de ce service nécessite que des messages soient échangés entre les véhicules. Le routage constitue un élément crucial dans un réseau, car définissant la façon dont les différentes entités échangent des messages. Le routage dans les VANETS constitue un grand défi car ces derniers sont caractérisés par une forte mobilité entraînant une topologie très dynamique. Des protocoles ont été proposés pour étendre Internet aux réseaux véhiculaires. Toutefois, la plupart d’entre eux nécessitent un coût élevé de messages de contrôle pour l’établissement et le maintien des communications. Ceci a pour conséquence la saturation de la bande passante entrainant ainsi une baisse de performance du réseau. Nous proposons dans ce mémoire, un protocole de routage qui s’appuie sur des passerelles mobiles pour étendre Internet aux réseaux véhiculaires. Le protocole prend en compte la mobilité des véhicules et la charge du réseau pour l’établissement et le maintien des routes. / The fast progression of wireless technologies has motivated the emergence of new communications system called VANETS (Vehicular Adhoc Networks). VANETS enable vehicles on the roadway to communicate with each other and with road infrastructure using wireless capabilities. The applications of VANETS include improving safety and comfort on the road. For example, by providing Internet to vehicles, traveling can be safer and more comfortable. To provide Internet connectivity, messages need to be exchanged between the vehicles. However, it is hard to design an efficient routing protocol for connecting vehicles to Internet with a reasonable cost due to high mobility in VANETS. Although, several existing routing protocols have been proposed in the open literature to extend Internet to VANETS, they generate considerable overhead. This leads to unfairly consumption of bandwidth decreasing network performance. We design a routing protocol to connect vehicles to Internet through mobile gateways with the objective to make efficient use of the network bandwidth. Indeed, the protocol significantly reduces the communication overhead required to establish and maintain the routes relying on the mobility of the gateways and the network’s load.
