Dependable Distributed & Networked Systems

LabFaculty: Anish Arora http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~anish/ Central Goal

99% users (including devices and businesses) should be able to communicate securely and reliably 99% of the time

requires scalable end-to-end dependability, which is still lacking (no operational MANET has exceeded 100 nodes till today !)

Focus Large-scale wireless sensor networks and MANETs Physical-layer security Internet-/Cloud-based distributed systems

Approach Scalability limit theory Graph/geometric/signal processing/machine learning algorithms

for low power distributed computing/networking/sensing Self-stabilization for dependability Model-based control of systems (using formal methods)

DDNS Lab

Impact ADAPT smartphone sensor, .NOW motes, eMote OS; ’12-to date KanseiGenie interactive large-scale WSN testbed; ’04-to date PeopleNet Dreese Labs WSN for SmartGrid & Smartphone apps; ’08- ExScal and A Line In The Sand: sensor network based classification

and tracking of persons, persons carrying “guns”, vehicles, tanks; ’04 Aladdin home networking system, built at Microsoft Research, ’00 NetraProxy internet server, commercially sold by Sun; ‘97

DDNS Lab Current Status

1. Apply ideas in experimental settings: Scalable MANETS, with software defined radios and wireless SDN frameworks

(involving TI heterogenous platforms, with DARPA)

Cellphone based sensor networks, with focus on power hacking, MAC, routing

(involving Qualcomm platform, with DARPA)

Secure WSN fabrics, with C# and Java motes, and physical layer security

Integrating sensor networks with enterprises (involving NSF GENI and Microsoft)

2. OSU recognized as leader in WSN research and facilities: KanseiGenie: 800 devices, includes eMotes, TMotes, Imote2s, Stargates, XSMs

PeopleNet for Green Computing and Building Sustainability initiatives

ExScal remains among largest WSN experiments conducted
