We are delighted to announce that our paper, ‘Exploratory Performance Evaluation of VM Migration as MQTT Moving Target Defence’, has been accepted for presentation at the 21st International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM 2025).

This work, authored by a joint Portuguese-Brazilian team composed by Matheus Torquato, Tiago Cruz, Denis Rosario, Michele Nogueira, and Eduardo Cerqueira, explores the impact of introducing a VM migration–based survivability mechanism in a message queuing service. The study evaluates how such recoverability strategies affect the performance of message queue systems processing large volumes of data, something of crucial importance for SATERA use cases involving the massive exchange of tracking information between ground stations, central processing units, and ATC consumer endpoints.

This research contributes to SATERA’s vision of a scalable, high-performance space-based surveillance system using ADS-B and enhanced multilateration from LEO satellites.
