Many existing problems in distributed systems can be linked to routing being orthogonal to trust and ignoring the social connectivity. This paper introduces a novel and economical protocol, entitled KarmaNET, which binds any routing protocol with trust to build a trusted social path and create judicious forwarders. This creates incentives for nodes to build good karma, and excises any node that has...
When the Internet was conceived, its fundamental operation was envisioned to be point-to-point communication allowing anybody to talk directly to anybody. With its increasing success, the Internet is under increasing attack, e.g. spams, Denial of Service (DoS), Domain Name Server hijacking, etcetera. This paper introduces a clean-slate approach to redesigning the Internet, entitled Davis Social Links...
In this paper, we present a social network based network communication architecture, Davis Social Links (DSL). DSL uses the trust and relationships inherent to human social networks to provide an enhanced communication architecture for future Internet designs. We begin with a conceptual discussion of how future network architectures can leverage social networks. Next, we describe the DSL architecture...
Recently there has been an influx of work on extending a wireless sensor networks lifetime by distributing source compression and deploying non-homogeneous nodes to handle the aggregation. Both of these mechanisms have been shown to increase the network's lifetime, but they each have requirements that might not be plausible. With distributed source compression, message distributions must be known...
Many tasks require multiple sensing capabilities; in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), it is expensive to deploy a homogeneous network wherein every sensor has the same functionality. Instead, it is economical to deploy a heterogeneous network wherein sensors differ in their capabilities; in such a network, efficient data querying is essential. We propose a multi-keyword routing protocol, iBubble,...
