Trabajo presentado al "FUZZ-IEEE 2008" celebrado en Hong Kong del 1 al 6 de Junio de 2008. ; We address, by means of fuzzy linguistic summaries, two related problems: summarizing network flow statistics and making these statistics human-readable. Two complementary summarization methods are developed. First, a fixed set of protoforms of interest is defined, and the ones with a higher truth value are shown to the user as simple on-line summaries. This first method is suitable for real-time monitoring. Then, an association rules mining process is carried out in order to find hidden relations in flow records. Both approaches are implemented in a tool capable of real-time and off-line processing of network flow records. Experimental results for a number of heterogeneous NetFlow records show the usefulness of linguistic summaries to both network practitioners and users. ; This work has been supported in part by projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and project TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed

Comunicación presentada al "DCIS 2007" celebrada en Sevilla del 21 al 23 de Noviembre de 2007. ; Soft computing techniques are gaining momentum as tools for network traffic modeling, analysis and control. Efficient hardware implementations of these techniques that can achieve real-time operation in high-speed communications equipment is however an open problem. This paper describes a platform for the development of fuzzy systems with applications to communications systems, namely network traffic analysis and control. An FPGA development board with PCI interface is employed to support an open platform that comprises open CAD tools as well as IP cores. For the development process, we set up a methodology and a CAD tools chain that cover from initial specification in a high-level language to implementation on FPGA devices. PCI compatible fuzzy inference modules are implemented as SoPC based on the open WISHBONE interconnection architecture. We outline results from the design and implementation of fuzzy analyzers and regulators for network traffic. These systems are shown to satisfy operational and architectural requirements of current and future high-performance routing equipment. ; This work has been supported in part by projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed

Comunicación presentada a la "11th International Conference Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-based Systems" celebrada en Paris del 2 al 7 de Julio de 2006. ; A major research problem in Internet transport and network layers is the development of traffic regulation mechanisms that can cope with the requirements of a growing diversity of technologies, applications and services. This paper presents novel mechanisms for intelligent traffic scheduling in Internet routers by means of fuzzy logic based systems. A systematic design methodology, interpretability principles, evaluation over a broad range of network scenarios as well as practical implementation constraints have been considered. A comparative evaluation of results obtained by means of our fuzzy controllers as compared to that of traditional approaches is outlined. ; This work has been partially supported by projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science as well as TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian Regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed

Comunicación presentada a la "IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems" celebrada en Vancouver (Canadá) del 16 al 21 de Julio de 2006. ; End-to-end Internet packet dynamics is a complex problem for which models available to date are at best incomplete. A major research problem in Internet transport layer protocols is the development of rate control mechanisms that can cope with the requirements of a growing diversity of technologies, applications and services. This paper describes novel mechanisms for intelligent end-to-end traffic rate control in Internet by means of fuzzy systems. We first outline a fuzzy logic based generalization of TCP (Transport Control Protocol) rate control principles. The design of a fuzzy TCP-like window-based rate controller is then described. A systematic fuzzy systems design methodology is used in order to simulate and implement the system as an experimental tool. A comparative evaluation of simulation and implementation results from the fuzzy rate controller as compared to that of traditional controllers is outlined. Besides being a useful modelling approach, the fuzzy rule based rate controller is shown to outperform other approaches with regards to a number of criteria. ; This work has been supported in part by projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed

Comunicación presentada a la "11th International Conference Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-based Systems" celebrada en Paris del 2 al 7 de Julio de 2006. ; The characteristics of the new version of the fuzzy systems development environment Xfuzzy is presented. The environment covers the aspects related to the specification, verification, adjustment and implementation of fuzzy systems. It is an open environment (in the sense that the user can define many functional and structural aspects) and a free distribution tool that allows proving new formalisms and helps the definition and implementation of complex systems. ; This work was partially supported projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science as well as TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian Regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed
