In this paper we propose a protocol that uses mobility information and attractor-selection to effectively and adaptively establish stable communication in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The aim of this approach is to not only establish stable durable communication paths between mobile entities, but also to create a resilient network which can quickly recover from unexpected changes in the net...

In designing structured P2P networks, scalability, resilience, and load balancing are features that are needed to be handled meticulously. The P2P overlay has to handle large scale of nodes while maintaining minimized path lengths in performing lookups. It has also to be resilient to nodes’ failure and be able to distribute the load uniformly over its participant. In this paper, we introduce SH...

Gossip, or epidemic, protocols have emerged as a powerful strategy to implement highly scalable and resilient reliable broadcast primitives on large scale peer-to-peer networks. Epidemic protocols are scalable because they distribute the load among all nodes in the system and resilient because they have an intrinsic level of redundancy that masks node and network failures. This chapter provides...

The Resilient Packet Ring IEEE 802.17 is an evolving standard for the construction of Local and Metropolitan Area Networks. The RPR protocol scales to the demands of future packet networks and includes sophisticated resilience mechanisms that allow the reduction of equipment costs. Network processors are a new opportunity for the implementation of network nodes offering a high flexibility and a...

Resilient plant monitoring systems are sensor networks that degrade gracefully under malicious attacks on their sensors, causing them to project misleading information. This paper develops techniques to ensure resiliency and illustrates their application using a power plant. Specific techniques developed are: active data quality acquisition, process variable and plant condition assessments, sen...
