Building Autonomic Optical Whitebox-Based Networks

Research Proposal: A Framework for Building Autonomic Environmental Sensor Networks

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

Automated Whitebox Fuzz Testing

Fuzz testing is an effective technique for finding security vulnerabilities in software. Traditionally, fuzz testing tools apply random mutations to well-formed inputs and test the program on the resulting values. We present an alternative whitebox fuzz testing approach inspired by recent advances in symbolic execution and dynamic test generation. Our approach records an actual run of a program...

Social-based autonomic routing in opportunistic networks

In opportunistic networks end-to-end communication between users does not require a continuous end-to-end path between source and destination. Network protocols are designed to be extremely resilient to events such as long partitions, node disconnections, etc, which are very features of this type of self-organizing ad hoc networks. This is achieved by temporarily storing messages at intermediat...

Building Autonomic Systems Via Configuration

Large classes of autonomic (self-managing, selfhealing) systems can be created by logically integrating simpler autonomic systems. The configuration method is widely used for such integration. However, there are few formalized tools in support of this method for specification, compilation, diagnosis, reasoning, and distributed provisioning. As a result, the practice of this method is very costl...
