At the same time, multi-core systems have become the de facto standard hardware platform. Unfortunately, wireless systems pose a particular challenge for parallel execution due to a tight coupling of network entities in space and time. Moreover, model developers are often domain experts with no in-depth understanding of parallel and distributed simulation. In combination, both aspects severely limit the performance and the efficiency of existing parallelization techniques. We address these challenges by presenting parallel expanded event simulation, a novel modeling paradigm that extends discrete events with durations which span a period in simulated time. The resulting expanded events form the basis for a conservative synchronization scheme that considers overlapping expanded events eligible for parallel processing. We furthermore put these concepts into practice by implementing Horizon, a parallel expanded event simulation framework specifically tailored to the characteristics of multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that Horizon achieves considerable speedups in synthetic as well as real-world simulation models and considerably outperforms the current state-of-the-art in distributed simulation.}, keywords = {Parallel discrete event simulation, Multi-core Systems, Wireless Systems, Simulation Modeling Paradigm, Conservative Synchronization}, tags = {horizon}, publisher = {ACM}, language = {en}, DOI = {10.1145/2832909}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Kunz, Georg and Stoffers, Mirko and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus and Gross, James} } @Article { 2012-4-alizai-wild-ijdsn, title = {Exploiting the Burstiness of Intermediate Quality Wireless Links}, journal = {International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (IJDSN)}, year = {2012}, month = {4}, day = {2}, tags = {wld}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2012/2012-ijdsn-wld-alizai.pdf}, state = {unpublished}, language = {en}, ISSN = {1550-1329}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2011-ipsn-alizai-pad, title = {Probabilistic Addressing: Stable Addresses in Unstable Wireless Networks}, year = {2011}, month = {4}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-ipsn-alizai-pad.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2011), Chicago, IL, USA}, event_place = {Chicago, IL, USA}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-60558-988-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Vaegs, Tobias and Landsiedel, Olaf and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2010-kunz-mascots-horizon, title = {Expanding the Event Horizon in Parallelized Network Simulations}, year = {2010}, month = {8}, day = {18}, pages = {172-181}, abstract = {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.

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.

In Onion Routing a static tunnel through an overlay network is build via layered encryption. All traffic exchanged by its end points is relayed through this tunnel.In contrast, this paper introduces dynamic multipath Onion Routing to extend the static Onion Routing paradigm. This approach allows each packet exchanged between two end points to travel along a different path. To provide anonymity the first half of this path is selected by the sender and the second half by the receiver of the packet. The results are manifold: First, dynamic multipath Onion Routing increases the resilience against threats, especially pattern and timing based analysis attacks. Second, the dynamic paths reduce the impact of misbehaving and overloaded relays. Finally, inspired by Internet routing, the forwarding nodes do not need to maintain any state about ongoing flows and so reduce the complexity of the router. In this paper, we describe the design of our dynamic Multipath Onion Router (MORE) for peer-to-peer overlay networks, and evaluate its performance.

However, node mobility and the continually changing physical topology pose a special challenge to scalability and the design of a DHT for mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we show that with some local knowledge we can build a scalable and mobile structured peer-to-peer network, called Mobile Hash Table (MHT).

In SARA each communication partner randomly selects a number of nodes from the overlay and concatenates them to an anonymous communication path. The sender selects the head of the path, the receiver builds the tail and publishes this information in the overlay network using an anonymous ID. Via this ID the sender retrieves the tail nodes of the path and concatenates both path section.

Most simulation efforts focus on protocol- and algorithm-level issues, thus depending on the right choice and configuration of models. However, as such models commonly neglect time dependent issues, many research challenges, like energy consumption and radio channel utilization still remain. In this article we present two new tools to model and analyze sensor networks: Avrora, a fast and accurate sensor network simulator, and AEON, a novel tool built on top of Avrora, to evaluate the energy consumption and to accurately predict the lifetime of sensor networks. Avrora is a highly scalable instruction-level simulator for sensor network programs. It simulates the execution of the program down to the level of individual clock cycles, a time quantum of about 135 ns. By incorporating state of the art simulation techniques, including an efficiently maintained event queue, fast-forward through sleep-time, and parallel simulation, it can simulate entire networks of nodes in real time. AEON's energy model is based on Avrora and makes use of the cycle accurate execution of sensor node applications for precise energy measurements. Due to limited energy resources, power consumption is a crucial characteristic of sensor networks. AEON uses accurate measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code to enable accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, it prevents erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency. Thus, it enables a highly precise estimation of the overall lifetime of a sensor network.}, author = {Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus and Titzer, Ben L and Palsberg, Jens} } @Conference { 200509petraksoftcommobility, title = {Towards Realistic Strategy-Based Mobility Models for Ad Hoc Communication}, year = {2005}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2005 Conference on Software for Communication Systems and Computer Networks}, author = {Petrak, Leo and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Conference { 200509landsiedelp2ptdht, title = {T-DHT: Topology-Based Distributed Hash Tables}, year = {2005}, abstract = {In this paper, we introduce topology-based distributed hash tables (T-DHT) as an infrastructure for data-centric storage, information processing, and routing in ad hoc and sensor networks.

Using a virtual coordinate system, we construct a distributed hash table which is strongly oriented to the underlying network topology.

As a result, erroneous lifetime prediction causes high costs and may render a sensor network useless, before its purpose is fulfilled.

Since many of research goes into the design of DHT lookup services, these systems aim to provide a stable global addressing structure. But to storage data reliable in a DHT only few techniques were already developed. However since data has to be stored persistent in the network, it should be retrieved anytime, even if nodes fail.
