“…According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it is essential to build secure communication platforms that use the Software-Defined Network (SDN) in conjunction with ICT (information and communication technology). A modern intelligent infrastructure consists of interconnected devices communicating over a network (so-called device-to-device), Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) connection, data processing and their storage in data centers, e.g., Cloud [3].…”

Building Smart City management concepts is based on the implementation and use of advanced technologies. The primary impulse for writing the article was the ambition to identify the current advanced technologies of Smart City management. The aim of the article is to propose a general model for the implementation of advanced technologies for Smart City management, based on the knowledge gained from the analysis of literature and case studies. In order to fulfill the set goal, it is necessary to obtain answers to two research questions. The findings were obtained through a secondary analysis of the literature, i.e., relevant articles from the scientific databases Web of Science and Scopus analysis of case studies of the best Smart Cities practices. According to the Smart City Index 2020 and IESE Cities in Motion, the leaders among the Smart Cities are Singapore and London, followed by Helsinki. In addition to the analyses, the article also uses methods of summarization, comparison, creativity, logic, induction and deduction. Smart Cities use 12 identified advanced technologies in their practice. Strategic management in Singapore, London and Helsinki adapts technology to the needs and requirements of its citizens, thus connecting the technological aspect with the managerial and social aspects. The contributions of the work include results for fellow researchers and a model for strategic management of new Smart Cities. The results of the article provide fellow researchers with the findings of a secondary analysis of relevant articles, from which they can draw when writing their own publications without the need for time-consuming search of the articles about this topic in databases. The general model of implementation of advanced technologies serves as a basis for strategic management of new Smart Cities that want to implement a technological base and at the same time do not want to forget the managerial and social aspects. Testing the model in practice with a new Slovak Smart City is part of future research activities.

Cloud networks are being used in most industries and applications in the current era. Software-defined networking has come up as an alternative tool and mechanism to follow and implement in a cloud networking environment in place of the traditional networking approaches. This paper includes the security aspects of computer networking concerning the cloud networking environment and software-defined networks. The security risks and vulnerabilities have been listed and described in this work, and the measures that may be adapted to detect, prevent, and control the same. The use of figures, diagrams, and codes has been done as applicable.

“…Moreover, SDN enhances network traffic monitoring and performance through a global and logically centralized topology view. [6][7][8][9] In the past several years, we have taught and hosted various cybersecurity courses and workshops, respectively. We have brought GENI into the classroom and integrated SDN with GENI testbed along with a broad range of cybersecurity lab modules to meet the needs of students with diverse backgrounds.…”

Nowadays, real-world learning modules become vital components in computer science and engineering in general and cybersecurity in particular. However, as student enrollments have been dramatically increasing, it becomes more challenging for a university/college to keep up with the quality of education that offers hands-on experiment training for students thoroughly. These challenges include the difficulty of providing sufficient computing resources and keep them upgraded for the increasing number of students. In order for higher education institutions to conquer such challenges, some educators introduce an alternative solution. Namely, they develop and deploy virtual lab experiments on the clouds such as Amazon AWS and the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), where students can remotely access virtual resources for lab experiments. Besides, Software-Defined Networks (SDN) are an emerging networking technology to enhance the security and performance of networked communications with simple management. In this article, we present our efforts to develop learning modules via an efficient deployment of SDN on GENI for computer networking and security education. Specifically, we first give our design methodology of the proposed learning modules, and then detail the implementations of the learning modules by starting from user account creation on the GENI testbed to advanced experimental GENI-enabled SDN labs. It is worth pointing out that in order to accommodate students with different backgrounds and knowledge levels, we consider the varying difficulty levels of learning modules in our design. Finally, student assessment over these pedagogical efforts is discussed to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed learning modules.
