Performance Analysis of Mobility Procedures in a Hybrid Space Terrestrial IP Environment.Chan, Pauline M.L., Wyatt-Millington, Rosemary A., Svigelj, A., Sheriff, Ray E., Hu, Yim Fun, Conforto, P., Tocci, C. January 2002 (has links)
No / The emphasis of this paper is on investigating the performance of signalling protocols designed for a mobility management scheme, which uses Mobile IP for inter-segment mobility in a hybrid space and terrestrial environment. Initially, the system architecture, which consists of three wireless access networks attached to an IP backbone, is presented. This is followed by a description of the proposed mobility procedures employed in the system, which aim at minimising modifications to existing satellite and terrestrial network protocols. The mobility procedures are simulated in order to evaluate their performance and determine their effectiveness in an operational environment. Results verify the efficiency of the protocols and show that the additional signalling time introduced by the procedures is minimal.

Portable TCP/IP server designJolliffe, Robert Mark 25 August 2009 (has links)
There are a number of known architectural patterns for TCP/IP server design. I present a survey of design choices based on some of the most common of these patterns. I have demonstrated, with working code samples, that most of these architectural patterns are readily portable between UNIX and Windows NT platforms without necessarily incurring significant performance penalties. / Computing / M.

Desenvolvimento de um mecanismo plug-and-play para o arranjo inteligente de sensores em sistemas aéreos não tripulados / Developing a plug and play mechanism for smart sensors array and unmanned aerial systemsPires, Rayner de Melo 06 February 2014 (has links)
O uso de aeronaves não tripuladas (VANTs) tem crescido substancialmente nos últimos anos, tanto no campo militar quanto no civil. Roadmaps preveem que em um futuro próximo essas aeronaves compartilhem o espaço aéreo com aeronaves convencionais, exigindo novas arquiteturas de sistemas embarcados que possam garantir uma operação coordenada e segura desses robôs. A maior parte das suas missões baseia-se fortemente em um conjunto de sensores transportados pela aeronave como parte da payload da missão. Contudo, não é trivial a integração de diferentes missões em diferentes aeronaves, visto que ainda não há uma padronização para a comunicação nesses robôs. Para possibilitar essa associação foi proposto neste trabalho a criação de um middleware. Para que se pudesse entender sobre a área de conhecimento dos VANTs realizou-se uma pesquisa sobre esses veículos e suas aplicações e então um protocolo chamado Smart Sensor Protocol (SSP) foi modelado, utilizando-se de técnicas formais para isso. O comportamento do protocolo está modelado com diagrama de estados, seguindo uma gramática escrita utilizando a forma BNF. Este modelo foi verificado com a ferramenta UPPAAL e sua implementação testada em placas Arduino. Os resultados dos testes mostraram que o modelo é viável para o ambiente de embarcados críticos visto que ele provê as funcionalidades necessárias neste cenário sem acrescentar um overhead na comunicação / UNMANNED Aerial Vehicles applications have grown substantially in recent years, both in military and civil fields. Roadmaps predict that in the near future these aircrafts will share the airspace with the conventional planes, requiring new architectures for embedded systems which may ensure a coordinated and safe operation. Most of its tasks are mainly based on a set of sensors carried by the aircraft as part of its payload. However, it is not trivial to integrate different missions in different aircraft plataforms, since there is no standardization for communication in such robots yet. To enable this type of association it was proposed in this masters project the designing of a middleware. It has been carried out a bibliographic review to find out the state-of-the-art in such field, including the specific applications in UAVs, and then a protocol has been modeled following formal techniques. This protocol is called Smart Sensor Protocol (SSP). The SSPs behavior was modeled through state diagrams according to a grammar described using BNF form. This model was verified with the UPPAAL tool and its implementation was run and tested on Arduino boards. The test results pointed out that the model is feasible for critical embedded environments since it provides the necessary functionality in this scenario without addition of an overhead in its communication

Mail Exchange Protocol (MEP): Ett utkast till nytt protokoll för elektronisk post / Mail Exchange Protocol (MEP): A draft for a new electronic mail protocolGustavsson, C.C. Magnus January 2004 (has links)
<p>SMTP, the current protocol for sending electronic mail (e-mail) over the Internet, has for many years suffered from several problems and limitations. When it was designed, well over twenty years ago, the requirements for e-mail were very different from those of today. A message was a text message in English, and both user and machine were explicitly named in the address. The protocol was not designed to transfer other types of messages, and no mechanism was included to verify the identity of the sender.</p><p>In order to solve these shortcomings, a new e-mail protocol needs to be defined. This report specifies a basis for what such a protocol may look like. The protocol has been designed to be easy to modify and expand, as well as to benefit from more recent ideas and technology. Binary message content is transferred without conversion, sender addresses are verified, and the address format is flexible. Along with the specification of the protocol, a sample implementation has been provided.</p>

Behavioral Mimicry Covert CommunicationAhmadzadeh, Seyed Ali January 2013 (has links)
Covert communication refers to the process of communicating data through a channel that is neither designed, nor intended to transfer information. Traditionally, covert channels are considered as security threats in computer systems and a great deal of attention has been given to countermeasures for covert communication schemes. The evolution of computer networks led the communication community to revisit the concept of covert communication not only as a security threat but also as an alternative way of providing security and privacy to communication networks. In fact, the heterogeneous structure of computer networks and the diversity of communication protocols provide an appealing setting for covert channels. This dissertation is an exploration on a novel design methodology for undetectable and robust covert channels in communication networks.
Our new design methodology is based on the concept of behavioral mimicry in computer systems. The objective is to design a covert transmitter that has enough degrees of freedom to behave like an ordinary transmitter and react normally to unpredictable network events, yet it has the ability to modulate a covert message over its behavioral fingerprints in the network. To this end, we argue that the inherent randomness in communication protocols and network environments is the key in finding the proper medium for network covert channels. We present a few examples on how random behaviors in communication protocols lead to discovery of suitable shared resources for covert channels.
The proposed design methodology is tested on two new covert communication schemes, one is designed for wireless networks and the other one is optimized for public communication networks (e.g., Internet). Each design is accompanied by a comprehensive analysis from undetectability, achievable covert rate and reliability perspectives. In particular, we introduced turbo covert channels, a family of extremely robust model-based timing covert channels that achieve provable polynomial undetectability in public communication networks. This means that the covert channel is undetectable against any polynomial-time statistical test that analyzes samples of the covert traffic and the legitimate traffic of the network. Target applications for the proposed covert communication schemes are discussed including detailed practical scenarios in which the proposed channels can be implemented.

Dynamic Composition and Management of Virtual Devices for Ad Hoc Multimedia Service DeliveryKarmouch, Eric 30 March 2011 (has links)
Pervasive computing implies the invisibility of the technology involved in providing ubiquity, such that technology is integrated into the environment and non-intrusive. In such a manner, computing and networking resources become diffused into physical environments, enabling users to exploit their provided functionalities such that functionality is distributed, enabling it to be controlled, monitored, managed, and extended beyond what it was initially designed to do. Moreover, computer awareness moves towards user-centricity, whereby systems seamlessly adapt to the characteristics, preferences, and current situations of users and their respective surrounding environments. Users exploit such functionalities in the form of a virtual device, whereby a collection of heterogeneous devices in the vicinity of the user are behaving as one single homogeneous device for the benefit of the user in solving some given task.
This dissertation investigates the problem of dynamic composition and management of virtual devices for ad hoc multimedia service delivery and proposes an autonomous policy driven framework for virtual device management. The framework consists of a hierarchical structure of distributed elements, including autonomic elements, all working towards the self-management of virtual devices. The research presented in this dissertation addresses the functionalities of these components.
More specifically, contributions are made towards the autonomous management of virtual devices, moving away from infrastructure based schemes with heavy user involvement to decentralized and zero touch (i.e., no user involvement) solutions. In doing so, the components and methodology behind a policy-driven autonomous framework for the dynamic discovery, selection, and composition of multimodal multi-device services are presented. The framework operates in an ad hoc network setting and introduces a Service Overlay Network (SON) based definition of a virtual device.
Furthermore, device and service discovery, composition, integration, and adaptation schemes are designed for Mobile Ad hoc Network Environments (MANETs) enabling users to generate, on-the-fly, complex strong specific systems, embedding in a distributed manner, QoS models providing compositions that form the best possible virtual device at the time of need.
Experimental studies are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed schemes.

Design and Performance Evaluation of Service Discovery Protocols for Vehicular NetworksAbrougui, Kaouther 28 September 2011 (has links)
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are gaining momentum among researchers. ITS encompasses several technologies, including
wireless communications, sensor networks, data and voice communication, real-time driving assistant systems, etc. These states of the art technologies are expected to pave the way for a plethora of vehicular network applications. In fact, recently we have witnessed a growing interest in Vehicular Networks from both the research community and industry. Several potential applications
of Vehicular Networks are envisioned such as road safety and security, traffic monitoring and driving comfort, just to mention a few. It is critical that the existence of convenience or driving comfort services do not negatively affect the performance of safety services. In essence, the dissemination of safety services or the discovery of convenience applications requires the communication among service providers and service requesters through constrained bandwidth resources. Therefore, service discovery techniques for vehicular networks must efficiently use the available common resources.
In this thesis, we focus on the design of bandwidth-efficient and scalable service discovery protocols for Vehicular Networks. Three types of service discovery architectures are introduced: infrastructure-less, infrastructure-based, and hybrid architectures.
Our proposed algorithms are network layer based where service discovery messages are integrated into the routing messages for a
lightweight discovery. Moreover, our protocols use the channel diversity for efficient service discovery. We describe our algorithms and discuss their implementation. Finally, we present the main results of the extensive set of simulation experiments that have been used in order to evaluate their performance.
