7. Dependable Distributed & Networked Systems Lab Faculty: Anish Arora
Central Goal
99% users (including devices and businesses) should be able to communicate securely and reliably 99% of the time
requires scalable end-to-end dependability, which is still lacking (no operational MANET has exceeded 100 nodes till today !)
Focus
Large-scale wireless sensor networks and MANETs
Physical-layer security
Internet-/Cloud-based distributed systems
Approach
Scalability limit theory
Graph/geometric/signal processing/machine learning algorithms
for low power distributed computing/networking/sensing
Self-stabilization for dependability
Model-based control of systems (using formal methods)
