Dependable Distributed Networked Systems
LabFaculty Anish Arora http//www.cse.ohio-stat
e.edu/anish/

• 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/se
  nsing
• Self-stabilization for dependability
• Model-based control of systems (using formal
  methods)
