1 This research is partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) under contract F19628-95-C-0215. Abstract An active networking architecture provides the infrastructure for applications to inject user programs into the nodes of the network. This enables customization of the network nodes so that application-specific services can be downloaded into the network in the form of n...

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, a damaging assault on computer networking infrastructure, have been extensively examined by the digital computing community. However, no work has been done to examine the ability of Extended Analog Computers (EAC) to detect DoS attacks. In this paper, we discuss how EACs could be used in DoS detection.

Teresa McLaurin DFT Architect, ARM A significant design trend in recent years has been the widespread use of ARM® multicore processors in systems-on-chip (SoCs). Designers’ ability to easily and cost-effectively employ multiple, high-performance embedded processors to meet the computational demands of the end application has helped fuel the explosive growth in mobile computing, networking infra...

In this position paper, we review basic control strategies that machines acting as traffic controllers could deploy in order to improve the management of Internet services. Such traffic controllers are likely to spur the widespread emergence of advanced applications, which have (so far) been hindered by the inability of the networking infrastructure to deliver on the promise of Quality-of-Servi...

Abstract—The Zigduino is an open-source Arduino compatible microcontroller platform with an integrated 802.15.4 radio. The Loosely-coupled Component Infrastructure (LooCI) is a component-based middleware for building sensor network applications that runs on the Contiki operating system, which provides IPv6 networking. In this paper, we describe our approach to, and experiences of porting the Lo...

Service oriented organizations rely on resilient computing systems to assist them not only in automating their business but also extending their operation hours to 24 by 7. Two major categories of their computing systems are software and hardware. Many researchers have worked on the software development which emphasizes improving the performance of business processes on the application level. H...

Wireless mesh networking is an exciting new technology that has applications in defence, metro-area Internet access, and transient networks (e.g: disaster recovery, conventions). In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a self-configuring, secure infrastructure mesh network architecture, called MeshCluster, composed using multi-radio network nodes. A subset of radio interface...

Cloud computing refers to computing paradigm that aims to transform computing, storage and networking into a utility. Startups and (in general) companies offer services overcoming the need to invest upfront in dedicated infrastructure resources. In this context, more and more providers are appearing forming a quite young, but relatively broad cloud ecosystem; through which they aim at maximizin...

One of the most significant design issues for multi-UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) systems is the communication which is necessary for collaboration and cooperation among the UAVs. If all Unmanned Air Vehicle systems are directly linked to an infrastructure, i.e. a satellite or a ground base, the communication among UAVs can be observed via the infrastructure. Since, this infrastructure depending c...

With the widespread arrival of bandwidth-intensive applications such as bulk-data transfer, multi-media web streaming and computational grids for high-performance computing, networking performance over the wide-area network has become a critical component in the infrastructure. Tragically, operating systems are still tuned for yesterday’s WAN speeds and network applications. As a result, a pain...
