Application of Software-Defined Networking (Published)
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an architecture purporting to be dynamic, manageable cost-effective, and adaptable, seeking to be suitable for the high bandwidth, dynamic nature of today’s applications. SDN architectures decouple network control and forwarding functions enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstract from application and network services. In this paper, the advantages and challenges of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are discussed.However, the Software Defined Networking application (SDN App) and the application of SDN are also discussed in detail.

Query Processing in the Cloud for Big Data Applications Benefits and Risks (Published)
The advent of cloud computing has transformed the landscape of big data processing, offering numerous benefits and presenting certain risks. This paper explores the domain of query processing in the cloud for big data applications, elucidating the advantages and challenges associated with this paradigm shift. Benefits: Scalability: Cloud platforms provide elastic resources, allowing big data applications to scale up or down based on demand. This scalability enables organizations to process vast amounts of data without significant upfront investments in hardware. Accessibility: Cloud-based query processing offers accessibility from anywhere, promoting remote work and collaboration, and facilitating data sharing and analysis among global teams. Risks: Data Security and Privacy: Storing and processing sensitive data in the cloud can pose security and privacy risks if not properly managed. Data breaches and unauthorized access are potential concerns. Data Transfer Costs: Transferring large volumes of data to and from the cloud can result in significant costs, particularly when dealing with extensive datasets. Vendor Lock-In: Adopting cloud services can lead to vendor lock-in, making it challenging to migrate to another provider or back to on-premises infrastructure. This paper delves into these benefits and risks in detail, providing insights into strategies for mitigating the associated challenges and making informed decisions when considering query processing in the cloud for big data applications. The balance between reaping the benefits of cloud scalability and managing the associated risks is crucial in the ever-evolving landscape of big data processing.
