It enables developers to build arbitrary TinyOS applications and protocols and execute them directly on Linux by compiling for the new TinyWifi platform. Using TinyWifi as a TinyOS platform, we expand the applicability and means of evaluation of wireless protocols originally designed for sensornets towards inherently similar Linux driven ad hoc and mesh networks.

inproceedings 2010-sensys-sasnauskas-coojakleenet Demo Abstract: Integrating Symbolic Execution with Sensornet Simulation for Efficient Bug Finding 2010 11 383--384 High-coverage testing of sensornet applications is vital for pre-deployment bug cleansing, but has previously been difficult due to the limited set of available tools. We integrate the KleeNet symbolic execution engine with the COOJA network simulator to allow for straight-forward and intuitive high-coverage testing initiated from a simulation environment. A tight coupling of simulation and testing helps detect, narrow down, and fix complex interaction bugs in an early development phase. We demonstrate the seamless transition between COOJA simulation and KleeNet symbolic execution. Our framework enables future research in how high-coverage testing tools could be used in cooperation with simulation tools. kleenet fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-osterlind_sasnauskas-sensys-coojakleenet.pdf Print ACM

proceedings 2010-wirtz-kuvs-service-overlay A Generic Service Overlay for Wireless Mesh Networks 2010 10 Service discovery in traditional networks is realized either by broadcasting requests in the network or by a central entity that holds the necessary information of every service in the network. These techniques are applicable in wireless networks as well, however, only under certain limiting conditions. The authors present a generic overlay that caters to the special requirements of providing and discovering services in wireless mesh networks. The focus of the approach lies on maintaining scalability in large-scale dynamic networks as well as routing efficiency with regard to the communication characteristics of the underlying network.

inproceedings 2010-kunz-mascots-horizon Expanding the Event Horizon in Parallelized Network Simulations 2010 8 18 172-181 The simulation models of wireless networks rapidly increase in complexity to accurately model wireless channel characteristics and the properties of advanced transmission technologies. Such detailed models typically lead to a high computational load per simulation event that accumulates to extensive simulation runtimes. Reducing runtimes through parallelization is challenging since it depends on detecting causally independent events that can execute concurrently. Most existing approaches base this detection on lookaheads derived from channel propagation latency or protocol characteristics. In wireless networks, these lookaheads are typically short, causing the potential for parallelization and the achievable speedup to remain small. This paper presents Horizon, which unlocks a substantial portion of a simulation model's workload for parallelization by going beyond the traditional lookahead. We show how to augment discrete events with durations to identify a much larger horizon of independent simulation events and efficiently schedule them on multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that this approach can significantly cut down the runtime of simulations, in particular for complex and accurate models of wireless networks. horizon fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-kunz-mascots-horizon.pdf Online IEEE Computer Society

inproceedings 2010-heer-pisa-sa PiSA-SA: Municipal Wi-Fi Based on Wi-Fi Sharing 2010 8 2 1 588-593 With the goal of providing ubiquitous wireless services (e.g., tourist guides, environmental information, pedestrian navigation), municipal wireless networks are currently being established all around the world. For municipalities, it is often challenging to achieve the bandwidth and coverage that is necessary for many of the envisioned network services. At the same time, Wi-Fi-sharing communities achieve high bandwidth and good coverage at a very low cost by capitalizing on the dense deployment of private access points in urban areas. However, from a technical, conceptual, and security perspective, Wi-Fi sharing community networks resemble a patchwork of heterogeneous networks instead of one well-planned city-wide network. This patchwork character stands in stark contrast to a uniform, secure platform for public and commercial services desirable for the economic success of such a network. Hence, despite its cost-efficiency, the community-based approach cannot be adopted by municipalities easily. In this paper, we show how to realize municipal wireless services on top of a Wi-Fi-sharing infrastructure in a technically sound and economically attractive fashion. In particular, we focus on how to securely provide services to mobile clients with and without client-side software support. Our solution cleanly separates the roles of controlling and administering the network from providing bandwidth and wireless access. With this separation, commercial ISPs and citizens with their private Wi-Fi can contribute to the network infrastructure. This allows municipalities in turn to focus their resources on municipal wireless services. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-heer-icc-pisa-sa.pdf Print IEEE Press

inproceedings icc2010vpsim Towards Network Centric Development of Embedded Systems 2010 5 23 1-6 Nowadays, the development of embedded system hardware and related system software is mostly carried out using virtual platform environments. The high level of modeling detail (hardware elements are partially modeled in a cycle-accurate fashion) is required for many core design tasks. At the same time, the high computational complexity of virtual platforms caused by the detailed level of simulation hinders their application for modeling large networks of embedded systems. In this paper, we propose the integration of virtual platforms with network simulations, combining the accuracy of virtual platforms with the versatility and scalability of network simulation tools. Forming such a hybrid toolchain facilitates the detailed analysis of embedded network systems and related important design aspects, such as resource effectiveness, prior to their actual deployment. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-schuermans-weingaertner-network_centric.pdf Online IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), Cape Town, South Africa, May 23-27 en 978-1-4244-6402-9 1550-3607 10.1109/ICC.2010.5502185 1 StefanSchürmanns EliasWeingaertner TorstenKempf GerdAscheid KlausWehrle RainerLeupers inproceedings 201004vaegsieeestudentpad Probabilistic Addressing in Wireless Networks 2010 5 20 5-8 The lack of permanent network infrastructure and often unplanned deployments in many multihop wireless communication scenarios restrict nodes to determine their own addresses based on the underlying connectivity in the network. However, due to unreliable connectivity and rapidly changing link qualities in wireless networks, establishing uniform addressing and stable point-to-point routing is challenging. In this paper, we present Statistical Vector Routing (SVR), a virtual coordinates based addressing and routing mechanism that efficiently deals with dynamic communication links in wireless networks. It assigns stable probabilistic addresses to nodes without the need to pessimistically estimate links over longer periods of time. The routing metric predicts the current location of a node in its address distribution. Our prototype implementation over real testbeds indicates that SVR, when compared to current approaches, achieves 3 times more stable addressing, reduces the magnitude of change in addresses by 2-10 times, and minimizes the hop distance and transmissions in the network by 10-15%. wld https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-vaegs-wehrle-probabilistic_addressing.pdf Print Hamburg University of Technology

inproceedings 2010-ipsn-sasnauskas-kleenet KleeNet: Discovering Insidious Interaction Bugs in Wireless Sensor Networks Before Deployment 2010 4 12 186--196 Complex interactions and the distributed nature of wireless sensor networks make automated testing and debugging before deployment a necessity. A main challenge is to detect bugs that occur due to non-deterministic events, such as node reboots or packet duplicates. Often, these events have the potential to drive a sensor network and its applications into corner-case situations, exhibiting bugs that are hard to detect using existing testing and debugging techniques. In this paper, we present KleeNet, a debugging environment that effectively discovers such bugs before deployment. KleeNet executes unmodified sensor network applications on symbolic input and automatically injects non-deterministic failures. As a result, KleeNet generates distributed execution paths at high-coverage, including low-probability corner-case situations. As a case study, we integrated KleeNet into the Contiki OS and show its effectiveness by detecting four insidious bugs in the uIP TCP/IP protocol stack. One of these bugs is critical and lead to refusal of further connections. automated protocol testing, experimentation, failure detection, wireless sensor networks kleenet fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-04-ipsn-sasnauskas-KleeNet.pdf Print ACM

RatMote has been developed for project RatPack, which aims at creating a new method for behavioral research on rats in their natural environment using wireless sensor nodes. Recent development in microcontroller architecture allowed us to design a sensor node which calculates up to 22 times more operations per mAh than the widely used TelosB node. This significant performance and efficiency increase allows us to perform computationally demanding algorithms inside the node, needed for vocalization analysis, localization, and mapping.

The goals of these networks are to bridge the digital divide, stimulate innovation, support economic growth, and increase city operations efficiency. While establishing such urban networks is financially challenging for municipalities, Wi-Fi-sharing communities accomplish good coverage and ubiquitous Internet access by capitalizing on the dense deployment of private access points in urban residential areas. By combining Wi-Fi communities and municipal Wi-Fi, a collaborative municipal Wi-Fi system promises cheap and ubiquitous access to mobile city services. However, the differences in intent, philosophy, and technical realization between community and municipal Wi-Fi networks prevent a straight-forward combination of both approaches. In this paper, we highlight the conceptual and technical challenges that need to be solved to create collaborative municipal Wi-Fi networks. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-heer-percomws-collaborative-municipal-wi-fi.pdf Print IEEE Press

inproceedings inproceedingsreference201001221179332027 Towards a Flexible and Versatile Cross-Layer-Coordination Architecture 2010 3 15 1-5 In wireless and mobile networking, volatile environ- mental conditions are a permanent challenge, resulting in a demand for cross-layer optimizations. To further increase flexibility, we believe cross-layer architectures should adapt themselves to these changing conditions, just as they adapt the network stack, devices, and applications. In this paper, we propose CRAWLER, a novel cross-layer architecture that combines three core properties: signaling between all layers and system components; extensibility and adaptability at runtime; and high usability for cross-layer developers. CRAWLER increases flexibility, as well as expediting and simplifying cross- layer development.

inproceedings 20105munawardynamictinyos Dynamic TinyOS: Modular and Transparent Incremental Code-Updates for Sensor Networks 2010 1-6 Long-term deployments of sensor networks in physically inaccessible environments make remote re-programmability of sensor nodes a necessity. Ranging from full image replacement to virtual machines, a variety of mechanisms exist today to deploy new software or to fix bugs in deployed systems. However, TinyOS - the current state of the art sensor node operating system - is still limited to full image replacement as nodes execute a statically-linked system-image generated at compilation time. In this paper we introduce Dynamic TinyOS to enable the dynamic exchange of software components and thus incrementally update the operating system and its applications. The core idea is to preserve the modularity of TinyOS, i.e. its componentization, which is lost during the normal compilation process, and enable runtime composition of TinyOS components on the sensor node. The proposed solution integrates seamlessly into the system architecture of TinyOS: It does not require any changes to the programming model of TinyOS and existing components can be reused transparently. Our evaluation shows that Dynamic TinyOS incurs a low performance overhead while keeping a smaller - upto one third - memory footprint than other comparable solutions. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-05-icc-munawar-DynamicTinyOS.pdf Online IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), Cape Town, South Africa en 978-1-4244-6402-9 1550-3607 1 WaqaasMunawar Muhammad HamadAlizai OlafLandsiedel KlausWehrle inproceedings 2010-ARCS-alizai-promotingpower Promoting Power to a First Class Metric in Network Simulations 2010 387-392 Accurate prediction of energy consumption early in the design process is essential to efficiently optimize algorithms and protocols. However, despite energy efficiency gathering significant attention in networking research, limited effort has been invested in providing requisite evaluation tools and models. Hence, developers demand powerful evaluation tools to assist them in comparing new communication paradigms in terms of energy efficiency, and minimizing the energy requirements of algorithms. In this paper, we argue for promoting energy to a first class metric in network simulations. We explore the challenges involved in modelling energy in network simulations and present a detailed analysis of different modelling techniques. Finally, we discuss their applicability in high-level network simulations. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-2-ARCS-alizai-promoting-power.pdf Print VDE-VERLAG

Dis- tributed applications exhibit many advantages over classical client-server models regarding scalability, fault tolerance, and cost. Unfortunately, the distributed system operation also brings many security threats along that challenge their performance and reliability. In particular, faulty or mis- behaving nodes cannot collude to subvert the system operation. This paper addresses the above threats by applying cooperative security techniques to relevant distributed systems in the Internet. Our goal is to present methods that allow the peers to bootstrap basic trust relation- ships at the time of joining a distributed network and remove the peers if trust is lost. We consider the specific security caveats of the analyzed sys- tems, investigate the applicability of existing cooperative security-based protocols, and propose general design guidelines for cooperative-security protocol in described distributed systems.

inproceedings 201006GarciaSacmat Modular Context-Aware Access Control for Medical Sensor Network 2010 Medical sensor networks allow for pervasive health monitoring of users in hospitals, at home, or on the way. The privacy and confidentiality of medical data need to be guaranteed at any moment to make sure that unauthorized parties cannot retrieve confidential information. This is a great challenge due to two main reasons. First, wireless sensors are resource-constrained devices that limit the applicability of traditional solutions. Second, the access control system must be context-aware and adapt its security settings to ensure the users' safety during, e.g., medical emergencies. To solve these issues, this paper presents a modular context-aware access control system tailored to pervasive medical sensor networks in which the access control decisions and the response delay depend upon the health acuteness of a user. Our system extends traditional role-based access control systems by allowing for context-awareness in critical, emergency, and normal access control situations. We further present a lightweight encoding for our modular access control policies as well as an access control engine efficiently running on resource-constrained sensor nodes. Finally, we analyze how the proposed access control system suits existing security architectures for medical sensor networks.
