Collaborative Networking (CoNe) group researchers got the best paper award at 2nd ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking (ICN 2015)

 

Collaborative Networking (CoNe) group researchers got the best paper award at 2nd ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking (ICN 2015), one of the most prestigious venues for ICN research. The article entitled Pro-Diluvian: Understanding Scoped-Flooding for Content Discovery in ICN is lead by Liang Wang - a recent PhD graduate from CoNe research group, and is the outcome of collaboration with Suzan Bayhan and Jussi Kangasharju from UH, Jörg Ott from Aalto University, Arjuna Sathiaseelan and Jon Crowcroft from Cambridge University.

ICN is a new networking paradigm with a promise to fix the mismatch between the host-centric design of the Internet and current information-centric use of the Internet.  As users are interested in getting the information rather than who provides the information, ICN proposes to address the content, let the content move around in the network based on the user requests and network's resources, and facilitate host-to-content communications natively. This approach raises the challenge of locating the content in the network, for which scoped-flooding is assumed to work efficiently.

The article comprehends the scoped-flooding for content discovery in ICNs using random graph theory and shows that most of the gains of flooding come from the sparse area at the network edge where the neighborhood growth rate is low.  This result provides a guide for how to search for content in an ICN, based on the network topology, router's location in the network as well as the requested content's availability in the network.

Malware Insights: Android Infection Rates and Techniques for Identifying Unknown Malware

In the second research result of the month, we report on the recent results in understanding mobile malware. The research was presented and published in the prestigious World Wide Web conference in April 2014.

Theoretical advances for comparative genomics

The Department has started a new “Research result of the month” series written by Professor and Deputy Head Sasu Tarkoma. In the first result of the month report, we interview Dr. Djamal Belazzougui about his recent accepted scientific article in the prestigious STOC conference, the ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing.
