MOSAIC: Declarative platform for dynamic overlay composition

MOSAIC: Declarative platform for dynamic overlay composition

Overlay networks create new networking services using nodes that communicate using pre-existing networks. They are often optimized for specific applications and targeted at niche vertical domains, but lack interoperability with which their functionalities can be shared. MOSAIC is a declarative platform for constructing new overlay networks from multiple existing overlays, each possessing a subs...

MOSAIC: Unified Platform for Dynamic Overlay Selection and Composition

MOSAIC constructs new overlay networks with desired characteristics by composing existing overlays with subsets of those attributes. Thus, MOSAIC overcomes the problem of multiple network infrastructures that are partial solutions, while preserving deployability. Composition of control and/or data planes is possible in the system. MOSAIC overlays are specified in Mozlog, a declarative language ...

MOSAIC: Multiple Overlay Selection and Intelligent Composition

Today, the most effective mechanism for remedying shortcomings of the Internet, or augmenting it with new networking capabilities, is to develop and deploy a new overlay network. This leads to the problem of multiple networking infrastructures, each with independent advantages, and each developed in isolation. A greatly preferable solution is to have a single infrastructure under which new over...

Dynamic Composition of Service Specific Overlay Networks

Dynamis: Dynamic Overlay Service Composition for Distributed Stream Processing

This paper addresses the problem of mapping software services onto an overlay network, specifically, the probing to locate suitable nodes on which to instantiate or configure data processing operators. We propose a distributed algorithm, called Dynamis, that can improve existing probing algorithms. Experimental results on the PlanetLab testbed show that Dynamis can dramatically reduce probing o...
