IBGP Confederation Provisioning

This paper proposes an optimization method for the design of large scale confederation based BGP networks. We propose a graph based model and an associated metric to evaluate the reliability of large scale autonomous systems. We propose and validate an effective methodology to find the optimal design for a given physical topology. According to our experiments, we consider that replacing the tra...

Games for Physical Therapy

One in six people in the world will experience a stroke in their lifetime. A large proportion of these survivors will have motor impairments as a result of this. Physical therapy can help stroke sufferers to overcome these limitations.

Querying the physical world

In the next decade, millions of sensors and small-scale mobile devices will integrate processors, memory and communication capabilities. Networks of devices will be widely deployed for monitoring applications. In these new applications, users need to query very large collections of devices in an ad-hoc manner. Most existing systems rely on a centralized system for collecting device data. These ...
