"Ethernet on AIR': Scalable Routing in very Large Ethernet-Based Networks
Networks based on Ethernet bridging scale poorly as bridges flood the entire network repeatedly, and several schemes have been proposed to mitigate this flooding problem, however, none have managed to eliminate flooding completely. We present Automatic ...
Deployment of a Reinforcement Backbone Network with Constraints of Connection and Resources
In recent years, we have seen a surge of interest in enabling communications over meshed wireless networks. Particularly, supporting peer-to-peer communications over a multi-hop wireless network has a big potential in enabling ubiquitous computing. ...
Phase Plane Analysis of Congestion Control in Data Center Ethernet Networks
Ethernet has some attractive properties for network consolidation in the data center, but needs further enhancement to satisfy the additional requirements of unified network fabrics. Congestion management is introduced in Ethernet networks to avoid ...
3DLoc: Three Dimensional Wireless Localization Toolkit
In this paper, we present 3DLoc: an integrated system of hardware and software toolkits for locating an 802.11-compliant mobile device in a three dimensional (3D) space. 3DLoc features two specialized antennas: an azimuth antenna and an elevation ...
Design and Analysis of a New GPS Algorithm
In this paper, we propose and analyze a new GPS positioning algorithm. Our algorithm uses the direct linearization technique to reduce the computation time overhead. We invoke the general least squares method in order to achieve optimality in the ...
ASAP: Scalable Identification and Counting for Contactless RFID Systems
The growing importance of operations such as identification, location sensing and object tracking has led to increasing interests in contact less Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. Enjoying the low cost of RFID tags, modern RFID systems tend ...
Mistral: Dynamically Managing Power, Performance, and Adaptation Cost in Cloud Infrastructures
Server consolidation based on virtualization is an important technique for improving power efficiency and resource utilization in cloud infrastructures. However, to ensure satisfactory performance on shared resources under changing application workloads,...
Nefeli: Hint-Based Execution of Workloads in Clouds
Virtualization of computer systems has made feasible the provision of entire distributed infrastructures in the form of services. Such services do not expose the internal operational and physical characteristics of the underlying machinery to either ...
ARiA: A Protocol for Dynamic Fully Distributed Grid Meta-scheduling
Critical to the successful deployment of grid systems is their ability to guarantee efficient meta-scheduling, namely optimal allocation of jobs across a pool of sites with diverse local scheduling policies. The centralized nature of current meta-...
Stochastic Steepest-Descent Optimization of Multiple-Objective Mobile Sensor Coverage
We propose a steepest descent method to compute optimal control parameters for balancing between multiple performance objectives in stateless stochastic scheduling, wherein the scheduling decision is effected by a simple constant-time coin toss ...
Distributed Coverage in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks by Topological Graph Approaches
Coverage problem is a fundamental issue in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Previous techniques for coverage scheduling often require accurate location information or range measurements, which cannot be easily obtained in resource-limited ad hoc and ...
Link-Centric Probabilistic Coverage Model for Transceiver-Free Object Detection in Wireless Networks
Sensing coverage is essential for most applications in wireless networks. In traditional coverage problem study, the disk coverage model has been widely applied because of its simplicity. Though notable recent works point out that the disk model has ...
StreamCloud: A Large Scale Data Streaming System
Data streaming has become an important paradigm for the real-time processing of continuous data flows in domains such as finance, telecommunications, networking, Some applications in these domains require to process massive data flows that current ...
A Hybrid Approach to High Availability in Stream Processing Systems
Stream processing is widely used by today’s applications such as financial data analysis and disaster response. In distributed stream processing systems, machine fail-stop events are handled by either active standby or passive standby. However, existing ...
Efficient and Progressive Algorithms for Distributed Skyline Queries over Uncertain Data
The skyline operator has received considerable attention from the database community, due to its importance in many applications including multi-criteria decision making, preference answering, and so forth. In many applications where uncertain data are ...
Reliability Calculus: A Theoretical Framework to Analyze Communication Reliability
Communication reliability is one of the most important concerns and fundamental issues in network systems, such as cyber-physical systems, where network components, sensors, actuators, controllers are interconnected with each other. These systems are ...
Resource Allocation in Distributed Mixed-Criticality Cyber-Physical Systems
Large-scale distributed cyber-physical systems will have many sensors/actuators (each with local micro-controllers), and a distributed communication/computing backbone with multiple processors. Many cyber-physical applications will be safety critical ...
Optimizing the Spatio-temporal Distribution of Cyber-Physical Systems for Environment Abstraction
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) bridge the virtual cyber world with the real physical world. For representing a physical environment in cyber, CPS devices / nodes are assigned to collect data in a region of interest. In practice, the nodes seldom fully ...
CONTRACT: Incorporating Coordination into the IP Network Control Plane
This paper presents the CONTRACT framework to address a fundamental deficiency of the IP network control plane, namely the lack of coordination between an IGP and other control functions involved in achieving a high level objective. For example, an IGP’...
Does Link Scheduling Matter on Long Paths?
We seek to provide an analytical answer whether the impact of the selection of link scheduling algorithms diminishes on long network paths. The answer is provided through a detailed multi-node delay analysis, which is applicable to a broad class of ...
CacheCast: Eliminating Redundant Link Traffic for Single Source Multiple Destination Transfers
Due to the lack of multicast services in the Internet, applications based on single source multiple destinations transfers such as video conferencing, IP radio, IPTV must use unicast or application layer multicast. This in turn has several well-known ...
Guaranteeing BGP Stability with a Few Extra Paths
Policy autonomy exercised by Autonomous Systems (ASes) on the Internet can result in persistent oscillations in Border Gateway Protocol, the Internet's inter-domain routing protocol. Current solutions either rely on globally consistent policy ...
ESCUDO: A Fine-Grained Protection Model for Web Browsers
Web applications are no longer simple hyperlinked documents. They have progressively evolved to become highly complex—web pages combine content from several sources (with varying levels of trustworthiness), and incorporate significant portions of client-...
