Purpose Wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks are becoming very attractive and widely deployed in many kinds of communication and networking applications. However, distributed and collaborative routing in such networks makes them vulnerable to various security attacks. This paper aims to design and...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming has recently received much research attention, with successful commercial systems showing its viability in the Internet. Despite the remarkable popularity in real-world systems, the fundamental properties and limitations are not yet well understood from a theoretical...

Today’s enterprise networks and data centers have become very complex and havecompletely integrated themselves into every facet of their represented organization.Organizations require Internet facing services and applications to be available at anypart of the day or night. These organizations...

One way to bring concepts to life in an introductory data networks course is for students to physically build a network that addresses a real business problem. However it can be challenging to find a suitable business problem, particularly if the network can exist only during the class period....

Criminals use the anonymity and pervasiveness of the Internet to commit fraud, extortion, and theft. Botnets are used as the primary tool for this criminal activity. Botnets allow criminals to accumulate and covertly control multiple Internet-connected computers. They use this network of...

Wireless ad-hoc networks consist of devices communicating with each other without the need for a management infrastructure. As such, the very basic operation of ad-hoc networks is dependent on the cooperation of their nodes to provide connectivity and communication routes. In practice though,...

The electric utility industry is immersed in a changing environment and deregulation is a key pressure driving this change. Careful strategic planning for what their future business will be is called for and there are concerns for the basis on which they will be competitive. Embedded in this...

This paper describes a proposal to use an implementation of client-server technology on the Internet for simulating a number of aspects of electric power production, distribution, and consumption within a wholly new regulatory, financing, operating, and control environment. This approach would...

It is critical in every government, research, and industrial organization that accurate and timely financial information be made available at all levels so that, project and business decisions can be made within funding constraints. The FaME prototype implemented at Oak Ridge National Laboratory...

This invention is comprised of a method for livelock-free message routing is provided in a network of interconnected nodes that is flushable in time T. An input message processor generates sequences of at least N time intervals, each of duration T. An input register provides for receiving and...
