5. On Multi-controller Placement Optimization in Software Defined Networking -based WANs
Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) novel recent networking technology promises important
advantages in IP networking, related to flexibility at network and application level, together with more
powerful management and control. However the SDN controller implementation as unique entity
creates scalability problems in large network environments. Multi-controller SDN implementation of the
control plane for large networks can solve the scalability and reliability issues introduced by the
centralized logical control principle of the SDN. There are still open research topics related to controllers
placement, static or dynamic assignment of the network forwarding nodes to controllers, especially
when network nodes/links and/or controllers failures appear or some constraints are imposed. The
student will have to make an analysis of some solutions proposed in the literature followed by an
implementation for a multi-criteria optimization method applicable to the controller placement
problem.
Keywords: Software Defined Networking; Distributed Control Plane; Controller placement; Reliability;
Multi-criteria optimizations.
Required skills: Python, SDN knowledge is a plus.

1. Cryptographic Based Applications for Automotive
Students: 2
The proposed project requires to implement/define a solution for securing the communication between
an automotive embedded system and outside world using hardware optimized Secure Socket Layer /
Transport Layer Security protocols.
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols provide communications
security over the Internet and allow client/server applications to communicate in a way that is private
and reliable. These protocols are layered above a transport protocol such as TCP/IP. SSL is the standard
security technology for creating an encrypted link between server and client. This link ensures that all
communication data remains private and secure
The embedded automotive system will be based on an ARM/PPC microcontroller with hardware
cryptographic accelerator which is used into current automotive electronic control units(ECU). The
connection of the embedded system to the outside world will be based on TCP/IP protocol stack. A
normal desktop PC including all needed software (operating system, web server, etc) will be used as a
communication peer for the embedded system in order to check its cryptographic services.

2. Save and Restore Mechanism for Virtual Machines in XEN hypervisor for ARM AARCH64
Students: 2
According to http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_TODO, in the Xen hypervisor, the save and
restore mechanism is not supported for ARM guests. In the proposed project, xl utility from the XEN
toolstack has to be updated in order to support the save and restore commands. The snapshots will
contain information about cpu context and guest pages.This mechanism will be implemented on ARM
64 bit architecture and validated on Freescale's Advanced Processor for Next Generation ADAS
microcontrollers.(http://cache.freescale.com/files/automotive/doc/white_paper/S32V230WP.pdf"

3. Video Resolution Enhancement for Surveillance Systems
Super-resolution (SR) standard defines a set of methods that can be used for increasing the resolution of
a video or image. An optimal SR algorithm shall be implemented, to be used for video quality
enhancement in a surveillance system. The proposed solution shall process the input stream captured
with a low-res camera and provide a higher resolution stream as output; the algorithm is to be
developed using an SoC, which can be attached to the camera as an integrated system. The up-scaled
sequence of frames must then be streamed over the internet in order to be accessible remotely, via a
mobile app.
