Abstract

The cloud computing environment requires an adequate and accurate traffic prediction tool to fulfill the needs of customers and support organizations effectively. In the absence of an effective tool for forecasting cloud computing traffic, many organizations might fail. It is difficult to predict the network resources that are suitable to meet the needs of all network clients at a given time in a cloud computing environment because of the inconsistent network traffic flow. There is still room for improving the predictive accuracy of the model in cloud computing. The higher the accuracy of the traffic flow, the better the allocation of resources. Therefore, this study proposes an ensemble method called SGLA (Stepwise Gaussian Linear Autoregressive) by combining linear regression, support vector machines, Gaussian process regression, and the autoregressive integrated moving average technique. SGLA performed better than all methods with a minimum MAPE of 1.03% of the ensemble approach by using the averaging strategy, SGLA shows a clear advantage in handling resource allocation better despite traffic fluctuations, with 91.7% traffic prediction accuracy. Overall experimental results indicate that this method performed better than single models in terms of prediction accuracy. The main contribution of this study is to propose a data analytics model for enhancing cloud computing resource management.

Abstract

Mobile network operators are facing ever-increasing traffic demands because of the numerous data-hungry applications used by subscribers nowadays. As a result, technologies that support high bandwidth and network availability have become essential. One such technology is dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). This study investigated the evolution of an optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM), which is one of the key components of DWDM technology. The goal of this research was to investigate how the evolution of an OADM has contributed to network survivability and bandwidth enhancement in DWDM optical networks. A thorough search of the literature on an OADM was undertaken using data sources like Google Scholar, Elsevier, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, Springer, and DWDM vendor manuals. The study found that in order to address present and future DWDM optical network demands, a reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) deployed over flexgrid spectrum is essential. The most advanced iteration of a ROADM supports colorless, directionless, contentionless, and flex-grid functionalities, resulting in the most robust, flexible, and future-proof DWDM optical network. The study further found that flex-grid technology supports uplinks with high line rates and has superior spectral efficiency.

Abstract

Blockchain technology presents transformative opportunities for secure personal data sharing, particularly in healthcare, finance, and identity management. However, its widespread adoption is constrained by challenges such as limited scalability, privacy concerns, and conflicts with regulatory frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This study introduces a novel hybrid framework that integrates the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for off-chain storage with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to enhance privacy, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce on-chain storage demands. Employing a Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the framework was developed and validated using Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric, guided by insights from a systematic review of 180 studies from 2018 to 2023. Empirical evaluations revealed a 75% reduction in blockchain storage, 98% GDPR compliance, and zk-SNARK proof verification times below one second. The framework also enables GDPR-compliant erasure by removing encrypted off-chain data while preserving on-chain auditability. Despite challenges such as IPFS latency and trusted setup complexities, the solution offers a scalable and privacy-preserving architecture applicable to real-world domains, especially in privacy-critical environments like healthcare and finance by resolving blockchain’s GDPR compliance paradox.

Abstract

The increasing demand for secure, scalable, and decentralized data management in blockchain ecosystems has intensified the need for eefective off-chain storage solutions. Traditional blockchain infrastructures offer limited storage capacity, prompting the integration of decentralized protocols such as the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin. While both enable distributed data sharing, they differ significantly in architecture, incentive mechanisms, and security assurances. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 35 peer-reviewed studies, combined with a technical evaluation of IPFS and Filecoin across five critical dimensions: performance, security, incentive models, integration feasibility, and application-specific suitability. Empirical findings indicate that IPFS provides faster data retrieval (average latency ~210 ms) and simpler integration, making it well-suited for low-risk, real-time data scenarios. However, it lacks native incentivization for long-term data persistence. In contrast, Filecoin offers higher data availability (~99.9%) and verifiable storage proofs via its token-based reward system, enhancing durability and auditability, albeit with increased latency and operational overhead. The analysis reveals that neither protocol alone fully addresses the security–scalability–persistence trade-off inherent in decentralized systems. Instead, the results advocate for hybrid architectures that combine IPFS’s performance strengths with Filecoin’s robust data assurance features. This paper contributes a structured decision-making framework to support the selection and deployment of context-appropriate off-chain storage models. The findings aim to guide researchers and practitioners in designing resilient, privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructures, particularly in domains where data integrity, verifiability, and long-term accessibility are essential.
