4. SeaCat: an SDN End-to-End Application
Containment ArchitecTure
Problem:
Healthcare, emergency services, and other
special apps often require specific network
and security characteristics at a granular
per-app level. (i.e. your kids’ compromised
social account should not pose a risk to
you accessing your online health records)
Solution:
Combine Software Defined Network
techniques and application containment to
provide an end-to-end application
containment. Treat mobile device as
“semi-trusted” SDN domain.

5. Air Pollution Real-Time Mobile Monitoring
Problem
Limited number of air monitoring sites only
give air quality in specific locations. Goal is
to determine concentrations of pollutants at
any location in region.
Solution
Data collection from large number of low
cost mobile and fixed monitors to create
computed air quality values anywhere in
region
