Wireless sensor networksWSNs have been widely investigated in the past decades because of its applicability in various extreme environments. As sensors use battery, most works on WSNs focus on energy efficiency issuese.g., local energy balancing ...

This paper analyzes the security requirements and problems with which active nodes are confronted, and proposes a general security management subsystem in Active Network NodeOS. The subsystem implements through four functions: resource management, hop-...

A safe and reliable in vivo nanoscale communication network will be of great benefit for medical diagnosis and monitoring as well as medical implant communication. This review article provides a brief introduction to nanoscale and molecular networking ...

The state equations of RLCM active network over F(z) are formulated in this paper by analyzing the topologic structure and the cut-set matrix Ql. The computer programming of the state equations is considered and Purslow's conclusion of the state ...

Drugs and biological experiments are designed to affect a particular target gene or pathway. However, they might inadvertently activate other pathways and cause side effects.Because of the existence of complex cellular mechanisms responding to stimuli,...

Distributed denial of service attacks are the serious candidates for traffic analysis next to traffic performance evaluation. As these threats deplete the network resources rapidly particularly link parameters, modeling these attacks provide a strong ...

This paper aims at solving the following two problems about the standard Mobile IP protocol: the reduction of network payload throughput and the packets loss when plenty of mobile nodes move between domains frequently. The paper puts forward an ...

This paper defines the separability of an RLCM active network and finds a sufficient condition that the active network is controllable and observable over F(z) if its passive network is controllable and observable over F(z). So the controllability (...

We propose a dynamic QoS, or D-QoS, model where QoS settings can be automatically reconfigured based upon requests from authorized users. Different levels of privilege can be assigned to users enabling higher privileged users to interrupt the network ...

This paper describes an approach to detecting distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that is based on fundamentals of Information Theory, specifically Kolmogorov Complexity. A theorem derived using principles of Kolmogorov Complexity states that ...

Managing the deployment of Games on mobile phones can be really complex. Developers have to create multiple versions of the applications, even if they write it in Java. There is thus a need for generic tools to help programmers in the task of building ...

This article explores the architectural challenges introduced by emerging bottom-up fabrication of nanoelectronic circuits. The specific nanotechnology we explore proposes patterned DNA nanostructures as a scaffold for the placement and interconnection ...

An active network has the advantage of being able to accept new protocols quickly and easily. The cluster-based active router can provide sufficient computing power for customized computations. In the router architecture, load balancing is achieved by ...

Active Networks are a promising way to develop new services for data transport. Network programmable nodes can propose high level services by processing "on the fly" streams of data. In this paper, we describe how to use an active network solution to ...

Due to its open protocol, the Internet has revolutionized computer networks, but this revolution brings new risks and threats. The best way to protect computer networks is to prevent attackers from intruding, using fast automated procedures. However, ...

This paper presents a framework for building and deploying protocols for migrating mobile agents over the Internet. The framework enables network protocols for agent migration to be naturally implemented within mobile agents and then dynamically ...

In order to search and analysis the threat model of active network, we hope to present a kind of strict and mathematic model analysis for active network security.We use the \pi-calculusto analyze the security relation of active network components and ...

There has been a tremendous interest in making the current Internet architecture capable of supporting diverse requirements for emerging value-added service-oriented applications such as bandwidth on-demand, multimedia teleconference and telemedicine. ...

IP multicast is an effective technology on the one-to-many and many-to-many communications. Multicast applications use UDP(User Datagram Protocol) for transport protocol and have the responsibility for reliable communications. Then it is difficult to ...
