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, IoT device security
• Internet-/Cloud-based distributed systems
• Approach
• Scalability limits, including network size,
  capacity, power
• Algorithms based on graphs/geometry/signal
  processing/machine learning
• for distributed computing/networking/sensing/secu
  rity
• Self-stabilization for dependability
• Model-based control of systems (using formal
  methods)
