Self-stabilizing network protocols
A network protocol is a specific type of a distributed system since it is somewhat loosely connected and communicates with the other processes in the network via message passing over the communication links of the network; A hard real-time system requires that the termination of each task occur …

CausalSim: Toward A Causal Data-Driven Simulator For Network Protocols
Evaluating the real-world performance of network protocols is challenging. Randomized control trials (RCT) are expensive and inaccessible to most researchers, while expert-designed simulators fail to capture complex behaviors in real networks. We present CausalSim, a data-driven simulator for …

Reliable and Energy Efficient Network Protocols for Wireless Body Area Networks
In a wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) various sensors are attached on clothing, on the body or are even implanted under the skin. The wireless nature of the network and the wide variety of sensors offers numerous new, practical and innovative applications. A motivating example can be found in the …

Verification of Simulation Models of Network Protocols Using State Space Exploration
Finally, we present incremental state space exploration (ISSE), a technique that aims to provide a speedup in the state space exploration time of evolving simulation models; i.e., simulation models whose code changes from one version to another. A code change may or may not lead to a behavioral …

High Performance Network Intrusion Detection: A New Paradigm is Needed
Fast data rates and complicated protocols have outpaced network intrusion detection systems. Administrators are forced to choose between breadth and depth: systems either deeply analyze traffic for a small handful of vulnerabilities, or search for many in parallel using more primitive (and easily …
