VSO: Self-organizing Spatial Publish Subscribe

Abstract-Spatial publish subscribe (SPS) is a basic primitive underlying many real-time, interactive applications such as online games or discrete-time simulations. Supporting SPS on a large-scale, however, requires sufficient resources and proper load distribution among the simulation units. For load distribution, existing mechanisms either use a static partitioning, such that over-provisioning or overloading are bound to occur, or require manual adjustments unsuitable for massive workloads. We describe Voronoi Self-organizing Overlay (VSO) [1], which extends a Voronoi-based Overlay network (VON) to automatically partition and manage a logical space to support SPS. Efficient resource usage thus is possible as only the units necessary to maintain the system are used. Load is also balanced among the resource units so that overloading or overprovisioning can be avoided. We use simulations to verify our design and describe some preliminary results

Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks

Various architectures have been developed for wireless sensor networks. Many of them leave to the programmer important concepts as the way in which the inter-task communication and dynamic reconfigurations are addressed. In this paper we describe the characteristics of a new architecture we proposed - the data-centric architecture. This architecture offers an easy way of structuring the applications designed for wireless sensor nodes that confers them superior performances

A decentralized paradigm for resource-aware computing in wireless Ad hoc networks

A key factor limiting the democratisation of networked systems is the lack of trust, particularly in the wake of data-intensive applications that work on sensitive and private data, which requires providing strong network security guarantees via encryption and authentication algorithms, as well as rethinking algorithms to compute on the network peripheries without moving data. In many security and privacy-critical domains such as Home Automation IoT networks, AUV networks etc., the existence of a centralized privileged node leads to a vulnerability for leakage of sensitive information. In this paper, we have proposed a decentralized networking architecture that adopts collaborative processing techniques and operates within the tradeoff between network security and performance. We have investigated the design and sustainability of autonomous decentralized systems and evaluated the efficiency of the proposed scheme with the help of extensive simulation tools
