A formal analysis of the deferred update technique

The deferred update technique is a widely used approach for building replicated database systems. Its fame stems from the fact that read-only transactions can execute locally to any single database replica, providing good performance for workloads where tr ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-exisiting, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-us ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-existing, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-use ...

DOMINO: Detecting MAC layer greedy behavior in IEEE 802.11 hotspots

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Alaeddine El Fawal, Imad Aad, Maxime Raya

IEEE 802.11 works properly only if the stations respect the MAC protocol. We show in this paper that a greedy user can substantially increase his share of bandwidth, at the expense of the other users, by slightly modifying the driver of his network adapter ...

A Packing Approach to Compare Slotted and Non-Slotted Medium Access Control

Patrick Thiran, Mathilde Durvy

In multi-hop ad hoc networks, the efficiency of a medium access control protocol under heavy traffic load depends mainly on its ability to schedule a large number of simultaneous non-interfering transmissions. However, as each node has only a local view of ...

Secure Ad Hoc Networking

Panagiotis Papadimitratos

The ad hoc networking technology can enable novel civilian and military applications. However, ad hoc networking protocols are vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. The design of defense mechanisms is a challenging problem, especially in comparison to sec ...

Unconscious Eventual Consistency with Gossips

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy

This paper combines various self-stabilization techniques within a replication protocol that ensures eventual consistency in large-scale distributed systems subject to network partitions and asynchrony. A simulation study shows that the resulting protocol ...

GosSkip, an Efficient, Fault-Tolerant and Self Organizing Overlay Using Gossip-based Construction and Skip-Lists principles

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Sidath Handurukande

This paper presents GosSkip, a self organizing and fully distributed overlay that provides a scalable support to data storage and retrieval in dynamic environments. The structure of GosSkip, while initially possibly chaotic, eventually matches a perfect se ...

Service Interface: A New Abstraction for Implementing and Composing Protocols

André Schiper, Olivier Rütti

In this paper we compare two approaches to the design of protocol frameworks -- tools for implementing modular network protocols. The most common approach uses events as the main abstraction for a local interaction between protocol modules. We argue that a ...

How to specify and how to prove correctness of secure routing protocols for MANET

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

Secure routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks have been developed recently yet, it has been unclear what are the properties they achieve, as a formal analysis of these protocols is mostly lacking. In this paper we are concerned with this problem, how ...
