Quo Vadis-A Framework For Intelligent Routing In Large Communication Networks., Armin Mikler, Johnny S. Wong, Vasant Honavar Jun 2017

Quo Vadis-A Framework For Intelligent Routing In Large Communication Networks., Armin Mikler, Johnny S. Wong, Vasant Honavar

Johnny Wong

This paper presents Quo Vadis, an evolving framework for intelligent traffic management in very large communication networks. Quo Vadis is designed to exploit topological properties of large networks as well as their spatio-temporal dynamics to optimize multiple performance criteria through cooperation among nodes in the network. It employs a distributed representation of network state information using local load measurements supplemented by a less precise global summary. Routing decisions in Quo Vadis are based on parameterized heuristics designed to optimize various performance metrics in an anticipatory or pro-active as well as compensatory or reactive mode and to minimize the overhead associated …


An Object Oriented Approach To Modeling And Simulation Of Routing In Large Communication Networks, Armin Mikler, Johnny S. Wong, Vasant Honavar Jun 2017

An Object Oriented Approach To Modeling And Simulation Of Routing In Large Communication Networks, Armin Mikler, Johnny S. Wong, Vasant Honavar

Johnny Wong

The complexity (number of entities, interactions between entities, and resulting emergent dynamic behavior) of large communication environments which contain hundreds of nodes and links make simulation an important tool for the study of such systems. Given the difficulties associated with complete analytical treatment of complex dynamical systems, it is often the only practical tool that is available. This paper presents an example of a flexible, modular, object-oriented toolbox designed to support modeling and experimental analysis of a large family of heuristic knowledge representation and decision functions for adaptive self-managing communication networks with particular emphasis on routing strategies. It discusses in …


Feature Selection In Intrusion Detection System Over Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, Xia Wang, Tu-Liang Lin, Johnny S. Wong Jun 2017

Feature Selection In Intrusion Detection System Over Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, Xia Wang, Tu-Liang Lin, Johnny S. Wong

Johnny Wong

As Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) has become a very important technology the security problem, especially, intrusion detection technique research has attracted many people�s effort. MANET is more vulnerable than wired network and suffers intrusion like wired network. This paper investigated some intrusion detection techniques using machine learning and proposed a profile based neighbor monitoring intrusion detection method. Further analysis shows that the features collected by each node are too many for wireless devices with limited capacity. We apply Markov Blanket algorithm [1] to the feature selection of the intrusion detection method. Experimental studies have shown that Markov Blanket algorithm can …

The Methodology For Evaluating Response Cost For Intrusion Response Systems, Christopher Roy Strasburg, Natalia Stakhanova, Samik Basu, Johnny S. Wong Jun 2017

The Methodology For Evaluating Response Cost For Intrusion Response Systems, Christopher Roy Strasburg, Natalia Stakhanova, Samik Basu, Johnny S. Wong

Johnny Wong

Recent advances in the field of intrusion detection brought new requirements to intrusion prevention and response. Traditionally, the response to the detected attack was selected and deployed manually, in the recent years the focus has shifted towards developing automated and semi-automated methodologies for responding to intrusions. In this context, the cost-sensitive intrusion response models have gained the most interest mainly due to their emphasis on the balance between potential damage incurred by the intrusion and cost of the response. However, one of the challenges in applying this approach is defining consistent and adaptable measurement of these cost factors on the …


Specification Synthesis For Monitoring And Analysis Of Manet Protocols, Natalia Stakhanova, Samik Basu, Zhang Wensheng, Xia Wang, Johnny S. Wong Jun 2017

Specification Synthesis For Monitoring And Analysis Of Manet Protocols, Natalia Stakhanova, Samik Basu, Zhang Wensheng, Xia Wang, Johnny S. Wong

Johnny Wong

This paper introduces an approach to automatic synthesis of the specification models of rout- ing protocol behavior from the observed flow of the network traffic. In particular, our technique generalizes the monitored sequences of routing messages constructing a high-level abstract view of the protocol. The basis of our method is similar to Inductive Logic Programming technique that derives a sound hypothesis from the individual examples. We conduct preliminary experi- ments on the example of AODV and DSR ad-hoc routing protocols and discuss the effectiveness of the generated specification models in detecting protocol misuses.


Utility-Theoretic Heuristics For Intelligent Adaptive Routing In Large Communcation Networks, Armin Mikler, Vasant Honavar, Johnny S. Wong Jun 2017

Utility-Theoretic Heuristics For Intelligent Adaptive Routing In Large Communcation Networks, Armin Mikler, Vasant Honavar, Johnny S. Wong

Johnny Wong

Utility theory offers an elegant and powerful theoretical framework for design and analysis of autonomous adaptive communication networks. Routing of messages in such networks presents a real-time instance of a multi-criterion quasi-optimization problem in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In this paper, we examine several heuristic decision functions that can be used to guide messages along a near-optimal (e.g., minimum delay) path in a large network. We present an analysis of properties of such heuristics under a set of simplifying assumptions about the network topology and load dynamics. In particular, we identify the conditions under which one such utility-theoretic heuristic …
