As most application programs are more sophisticated and are adopted the distributed object technology, the object based distributed design became widespread since it supports portability and reusability. The approaches for fault-tolerant distributed computing are categorized into the active replica mechanism for mission-critical application programs and the passive replica mechanism for non mission-critical ones, when fault-tolerant facilities are added on. Our paper introduces the pros and drawbacks of several approaches for the add-on low-overhead fault-tolerant services by the surveys and shows the results of experiments for bench-mark models in order to demonstrate their performance.

The deployment of geographically distributed wireless sensors has greatly elevated the capability of monitoring structural health in social-overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures. This paper deals with the utilization of a distributed mobility management (DMM) approach for the deployment of wireless sensing devices in a structural health monitoring system (SHM). Then, a wireless sensing mechanism utilizing low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH)-based clustering algorithm for smart sensors has been analyzed to support the seamless data transmission of structural health information which is essentially important to guarantee public safety. The clustering of smart sensors will be able to provide real-time monitoring of structural health and a filtering algorithm to boost the transmission of critical information over heterogeneous wireless and mobile networks.

Service Function Chaining (SFC) supports services through linking an ordered list of functions. There may be multiple instances of the same function, which provides a challenge to select available instances for all the functions in an SFC and generate a specific Service Function Path (SFP). Aiming to solve the problem of SFP selection, we propose an architecture consisting of distributed SFP algorithm and central control mechanism. Nodes generate distributed routings based on the first function and destination node in each service request. Controller supervises all of the distributed routing tables and modifies paths as required. The architecture is scalable, robust and quickly reacts to failures because of distributed routings. Besides, it enables centralized and direct control of the forwarding behavior with the help of central control mechanism. Simulation results show that distributed routing tables can generate efficient SFP and the average cost is acceptable. Compared with other algorithms, our design has a good performance on average cost of paths and load balancing, and the response delay to service requests is much lower.

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless communication supports symmetric dual transmission between two nodes and asymmetric dual transmission among three nodes, which allows improved throughput for distributed IBFD wireless networks. However, inter-node interference (INI) can affect desired packet reception in the downlink of three-node topology. The current Half-duplex (HD) medium access control (MAC) mechanism RTS/CTS is unable to establish an asymmetric dual link and consequently to suppress INI. In this paper, we propose a medium access control mechanism for use in distributed IBFD wireless networks, FD-DMAC (Full-Duplex Distributed MAC). In this approach, communication nodes only require single channel access to establish symmetric or asymmetric dual link, and we fully consider the two transmission modes of asymmetric dual link. Through FD-DMAC medium access, the neighbors of communication nodes can clearly know network transmission status, which will provide other opportunities of asymmetric IBFD dual communication and solve hidden node problem. Additionally, we leverage FD-DMAC to transmit received power information. This approach can assist communication nodes to adjust transmit powers and suppress INI. Finally, we give a theoretical analysis of network performance using a discrete-time Markov model. The numerical results show that FD-DMAC achieves a significant improvement over RTS/CTS in terms of throughput and delay.

인터넷이 널리 보급되면서 지능형 검색 에이전트들이 사용자의 요구를 만족시키기 위해 일반화되어 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 지능형 멀티에이전트들은 서로 독립적으로 사용되어 멀티에이전트들 간의 분산된 정보를 원활하고 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 상호 협력 작용이 부족해 정보의 신뢰성이 낮고 동적으로 변화하는 분산 환경에 대처하기가 어렵다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 멀티에이전트간의 효율적인 상호 협력과 빠른 정보처리를 위해 브로커 에이전트에 에이전시를 생성하고 신경망을 이용해 멀티에이전트들의 에이전시들을 분류하여 더욱 신속·정확한 정보를 사용자에게 제공하도록 한다. 또한 정보의 신뢰성을 위해서 에이전트 관리기법을 제안하여 기존의 검색 시스템이 가지고 있는 정보갱신문제를 향상시키고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 연구의 성능을 평가한다.

Denial of Service (DoS) attack is to interfere the normal user from using the information technology services. With a rapid technology improvements in computer and internet environment, small sized DoS attacks targeted to server or network infrastructure have been disabled. Thus, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that utilizes from tens to several thousands of distributed computers as zombie PC appear to have as one of the most challenging threat. In this paper, we categorize the DDoS attacks and classify existing countermeasures based on where and when they prevent, detect, and respond to the DDoS attacks. Then we propose a comprehensive defense mechanism against DDoS attacks in Control System to detect attacks efficiently.

Trust-based solutions provide some form of payment to peers to encourage good behavior. The problem with trust management systems is that they require prior knowledge to work. In other words, peers are vulnerable to attack if they do not have knowledge or correct knowledge of other peers in a trust management system. Therefore, considering only trust is inadequate when a decision is made to identify the best set of peers to utilize. In order to solve the problem, we propose a distributed decision-making mechanism for wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) networks based on game theory and relevant trust mechanisms in which we incorporate the element of trust and risk into a single model. The main idea of our mechanism is to use utility function to express the relationship between benefits and costs of peers, and then make the decision based on expected utility as well as risk attitude in a fully distributed fashion. The unique feature of our mechanism is that it not only helps a peer to select its partners, but also mitigates vulnerabilities in trust-based mechanisms. Through analysis and experiments, we believe our approach is useful for peers to make the decision regarding who to interact with. In addition, it is also a good starting point for exploring tradeoffs among risk, trust and utility.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of inexpensive and tiny sensors used in different areas including military, industry, agriculture, space, and environment. Fault tolerance, which is considered a challenging task in these networks, is defined as the ability of the system to offer an appropriate level of functionality in the event of failures. The present study proposed an intelligent throughput descent and distributed energy-efficient mechanism in order to improve fault tolerance of the system against soft and permanent faults. This mechanism includes determining the intelligent neighborhood radius threshold, the intelligent neighborhood nodes number threshold, customizing the base paper algorithm for distributed systems, redefining the base paper scenarios for failure detection procedure to predict network behavior when running into soft and permanent faults, and some cases have been described for handling failure exception procedures. The experimental results from simulation indicate that the proposed mechanism was able to improve network throughput, fault detection accuracy, reliability, and network lifetime with respect to the base paper.
