articleabstract={A main design issue in a wireless data broadcasting system is to choose between push-based
and pull-based logic: the former is used as a low cost solution, while the latter is preferred when performance
is of utmost importance. Therefore, the most significant advantage of a push system is the minimal cost.
This fact implies that hardware limitations do exist in the case of push systems. As a consequence, every
related proposed algorithm should primarily be cost-effective. This attribute however has been overlooked in
related research. In this paper, popular broadcast scheduling approaches are tested from an implementation
cost aspect and the results render them only conditionally realizable. Moreover, a new, cost-effective,
adaptivity-oriented schedule constructor is proposed as a realistic, minimal cost solution.},
keypoints={The minimization of the size of the broascast schedule yields:
Minimal scheduling compexity.
Minimal caching needs at the broadcast stations (beacons).
Minimal required communication between the scheduling service and the remote data sites.
*The minimization of the schedule size does not affect the offered QoS level.}

articleabstract = {New strains of Distributed Denial-of-Service
(DDoS) attacks have exhibited potential to disconnect communication
networks, even cutting off entire countries from
the Internet. The Crossfire is a new, indirect DDoS linkflooding
attack, which masks itself as natural congestion,
making it very hard to counter. Several studies have
proposed online attack detection schemes, whose efficiency
has been shown to vary in different network topologies.
However, the topology/detection relation has been studied
qualitatively, without formal proof or quantification metric.
The present study is motivated by the fact that network
topology changes are generally expensive and slow. Therefore,
network designers should be provided with means of
evaluating the effects of topology modifications to the attack
detection efficiency. The study fills this gap by contributing
a formal proof for the topology-detection efficiency relation,
as well as a novel offline metric that quantifies it. Full
attack prototypes are implemented and evaluated in real
Internet topologies, validating the analytical findings. It
is shown that the novel metric expresses the topologydetection
relation efficiently, while existing and widely-used
metrics do not constitute good choices for this task.}

articleabstract = {Nano-IoT enables a wide range of ground-breaking
technologies, but face implementation challenges due to the extremity
of the scale. Space restrictions pose severe power supply considerations,
to the point where just a few packet transmissions are sufficient to
deplete state-of-the-art supplies. In turn, this translates to difficulties
in developing efficient protocols even for basic operations, such as
addressing and routing. The present work proposes a new network adapter
architecture that can address these challenges. The BitSurfing adapter
does not generate packets and, hence, abolishes the need for the
corresponding transmission circuitry and power consumption. Instead,
it relies on an external symbol generator. The BitSurfing adapter reads
incoming symbols, waiting for intended messages to appear in the symbol
stream. A short (1-bit), low-energy pulse is then emitted to notify
neighboring nodes. BitSurfing adapters are shown to exhibit perpetual
(and even battery-less) operation, ability to operate without medium
access control, while being completely transparent to applications.
Moreover, their operation is event-driven, allowing for clock-less
implementations. The new adapters are evaluated in a simulated multi-hop
nano-IoT network and are shown to offer nearly-perfect packet delivery
rates and practically no collisions, under any congestion level. },

that cause performance degradation and eavesdropping concerns due to anomalous

defined and, subsequently, optimizable across wide frequency ranges. Through the
proposed programmable wireless environments, the path loss, multi-path fading and
interference effects can be controlled and mitigated. Moreover, the eavesdropping
can be prevented via novel physical layer security capabilities. The core
technology of this new paradigm is the concept of metasurfaces, which are planar
intelligent structures whose effects on impinging electromagnetic waves are fully
defined by their micro-structure. Their control over impinging waves has been
demonstrated to span from 1 GHz to 10 THz. This paper contributes the software-
programmable wireless environment, consisting of several HyperSurface tiles
(programmable metasurfaces) controlled by a central server. HyperSurfaces are
a novel class of metasurfaces whose structure and, hence, electromagnetic behavior
can be altered and controlled via a software interface. Multiple networked tiles
coat indoor objects, allowing fine-grained, customizable reflection, absorption
or polarization overall. A central server calculates and deploys the optimal
electromagnetic interaction per tile, to the benefit of communicating devices.
Realistic simulations using full 3D ray-tracing demonstrate the groundbreaking
performance and security potential of the proposed approach in 2.4 GHz and 60 GHz
frequencies.}

located in different places who perform music while staying synchronized via

Performance Threshold (EPT) and should be less than 25 milliseconds. Due to this
constraint, NMPs require ultra-low delay solutions for audio coding, network
transmission, relaying and decoding, each one a challenging task on its own.
There are two directions for study in the related work referring to the NMP systems.
From the audio perspective, researchers experiment on low-delay encoders and
transmission patterns, aiming to reduce the processing delay of the audio transmission,
but they ignore the network performance. On the other hand, network-oriented
researchers try to reduce the network delay, which contributes to reduced
end-to-end delay. In our proposed approach, we introduce an integration of dynamic
audio and network configuration to satisfy the EPT constraint. The basic idea is that
the major components participating in an NMP system the application and the network
interact during the live music performance. As the network delay increases, the
network tries to equalize it by modifying the routing behavior using Software
Defined Networking principles. If the network delay exceeds a maximum affordable
threshold, the network reacts by informing the application to change the audio
processing pattern to overcome the delay increase, resulting in below EPT
end-to-end delay. A full prototype of the proposed system was implemented
and extensively evaluated in an emulated environment.}

articleabstract = {A developer of mobile or desktop applications is responsible for implementing the network logic of his software. Nonetheless: i) Developers are not network specialists, while pressure for emphasis on the visible application parts places the network logic out of the coding focus. Moreover, computer networks undergo evolution at paces that developers may not follow. ii) From the network resource provider point of view, marketing novel services and involving a broad audience is also challenge for the same reason. Moreover, the objectives of end-user networking logic are neither clear nor uniform. This constitutes the central optimization of network resources an additional challenge. As a solution to these problems, we propose the Socket Store. The Store is a marketplace containing end-user network logic in modular form. The Store modules act as intelligent mediators between the end-user and the network resources. Each module has a clear, specialized objective, such as connecting two clients over the Internet while avoiding transit networks suspicious for eavesdropping. The Store is populated and peer-reviewed by network specialists, whose motive is the visibility, practical applicability and monetization potential of their work. A developer first purchases access to a given socket module. Subsequently, he incorporates it to his applications under development, obtaining state-of-the-art performance with trivial coding burden.

We propose a strong collaboration between the network and NMP applications to actively keep the to mouth-to-ear delay minimal, using direct state notifications. Related approaches can be characterized as passive, since they try to estimate the network state indirectly, based on the end application performance. Our solution employs Software Defined Networking (SDN) to implement the network-to-application collaboration, being facilitated by the well-defined network interface that SDN offers.

author={Tsioliaridou, A. and Liaskos, C. and Dedu, E. and Ioannidis, S.},
journal={Nano Communication Networks},
articleabstract={Packet routing in nanonetworks requires novel approaches, which can cope with
the extreme limitations posed by the nano-scale. Highly lossy wireless channels,
extremely limited hardware capabilities and non-unique node identifiers
are among the restrictions. The present work offers an addressing and routing
solution for static 3D nanonetworks that find applications in material monitoring
and programmatic property tuning. The addressing process relies on virtual
coordinates from multiple, alternative anchor point sets that act as viewports.
Each viewport offers different address granularity within the network space,
and its selection is optimized by a packet sending node using a novel heuristic.
Regarding routing, each node can deduce whether it is located on the linear
segment connecting the sender to the recipient node. This deduction is made
using integer calculations, node-local information and in a stateless manner,
minimizing the computational and storage overhead of the proposed scheme.
Most importantly, the nodes can regulate the width of the linear path, thus
trading energy efficiency (redundant transmissions) for increased path diversity.
This trait can enable future adaptive routing schemes. Extensive evaluation
via simulations highlights the advantages of the novel scheme over related approaches.},

articleabstract={This paper introduces a class of programmable metamaterials, whose electromagnetic properties can be controlled via
software. These software defined metamaterials (SDMs) stem from utilizing metamaterials in combination with nanonetworks. Metamaterials
are artificial structures with properties that may not be found in nature. Since their initial advent, they have inspired ground-breaking
applications to a range of research topics, such as electromagnetic invisibility of objects (cloaking), radiation absorption, filtering
of light and sound as well as efficient antennas for sensors and implantable communication devices in recent years. However, existing
metamaterial structures are “rigid”, i.e. they cannot be restructured once constructed. This trait limits their fabrication to some well-
equipped laboratories worldwide, slows down innovation, and, most importantly, restricts their applicability to static structures only.
The proposed SDMs act as “plastic” (reconfigurable) metamaterials, whose attributes can be changed programmatically via a computer
interface. This control is achieved by a network of nanomachines, incorporated into the structure of the metamaterial. The nanomachines
may receive commands from the user and perform simple, yet geometrically-altering, actions on the metamaterial profile and tuning of its
electromagnetic behavior. Architectural aspects, expected features and implementation issues are covered in this paper, while a suitable
nanonetworking model is presented along with simulation results on its anticipated performance. The paper concludes by outlining the
research challenges pertaining to the analysis, design, prototyping, manufacturing, and initial application scenarios of the proposed
SDMs},
keypoints={The combination of metamaterials and nanonetworks can enable the programmatic control

proposed indirect link-flooding attacks, such as “Crossfire”, are extremely hard to expose and, subsequently, mitigate effectively.
Traffic Engineering (TE) is the network’s natural way of mitigating link overload events, balancing the load and restoring connectivity.
This work poses the question: Do we need a new kind of TE to expose an attack as well? The key idea is that a carefully crafted, attack-
aware TE could force the attacker to follow improbable traffic patterns, revealing his target and his identity over time. We show that
both existing and novel TE modules can efficiently expose the attack, and study the benefits of each approach. We implement defense
prototypes using simulation mechanisms and evaluate them extensively on multiple real topologies.},

articleabstract = {Electromagnetic waves undergo multiple uncontrollable alterations as they propagate within a wireless environment. Free space path loss, signal absorption, as well as reflections, refractions and diffractions caused by physical objects within the environment highly affect the performance of wireless communications. Currently, such effects are intractable to account for and are treated as probabilistic factors. The paper proposes a radically different approach, enabling deterministic, programmable control over the behavior of the wireless environments. The key-enabler is the so-called HyperSurface tile, a novel class of planar meta-materials which can interact with impinging electromagnetic waves in a controlled manner. The HyperSurface tiles can effectively re-engineer electromagnetic waves, including steering towards any desired direction, full absorption, polarization manipulation and more. Multiple tiles are employed to coat objects such as walls, furniture, overall, any objects in the indoor and outdoor environments. An external software service calculates and deploys the optimal interaction types per tile, to best fit the needs of communicating devices. Evaluation via simulations highlights the potential of the new concept.},

Moreover, their effect on the communication quality is intractable in all but the simplest cases. The present work proposes a new paradigm, where indoor scattering becomes software-defined and, subsequently, optimizable across wide frequency ranges. Moreover, the controlled scattering can surpass natural behavior, exemplary overriding Snell's law, reflecting waves towards any custom angle (including negative ones). Thus, path loss and multi-path fading effects can be controlled and mitigated. The core technology of this new paradigm are metasurfaces, planar artificial structures whose effect on impinging electromagnetic waves is fully defined by their macro-structure. The present study contributes the software-programmable wireless environment model, consisting of several HyperSurface tiles controlled by a central, environment configuration server. HyperSurfaces are a novel class of metasurfaces whose structure and, hence, electromagnetic behavior can be altered and controlled via a software interface. Multiple networked tiles coat indoor objects, allowing fine-grained, customizable reflection, absorption or polarization overall. A central server calculates and deploys the optimal electromagnetic interaction per tile, to the benefit of communicating devices. Realistic simulations using full 3D ray-tracing demonstrate the groundbreaking potential of the proposed approach in 2.4 GHz and 60 GHz frequencies.},

potential to segment large areas of the Internet. Their distributed nature makes detection and
mitigation very hard. This work proposes a novel framework for the analytical modeling and optimal
mitigation of such attacks. The detection is modeled as a problem of relational algebra,
representing the association of potential attackers (bots) to potential targets. The analysis seeks
to optimally dissolve all but the malevolent associations. The framework is implemented at the
level of online Traffic Engineering (TE), which is naturally triggered on link-flooding events. The
key idea is to continuously re-route traffic in a manner that makes persistent participation to
link-flooding events highly improbable for any benign source. Thus, bots are forced to adopt a
suspicious behavior to remain effective, revealing their presence. The load-balancing objective of
TE is not affected at all. Extensive simulations on various topologies validate our analytical
findings.},

The unique manufacturing challenges and cost considerations of these networks make for minimal
complexity solutions at all network layers. From a networking aspect, packet retransmissions should
be kept minimal, while ensuring communication between any two nanonodes. In addition, assigning
unique addresses to nanonodes is not straightforward, since it can entail a prohibitively high
number of packet exchanges. Thus, efficient data routing is considered an open issue in
nanonetworking. The present paper proposes a routing system which can be dynamically deployed
within a nanonetwork. Static, dense topologies with numerous, identical nodes are examined. These
attributes are especially important in the context of recently proposed applications of
nanonetworks. The proposed scheme incurs a trivial setup overhead and requires integer processing
capabilities only. Once deployed, it operates efficiently, inducing lower packet retransmission
rates than related schemes.},

articleabstract={Wireless communication at nanoscale faces unique challenges stemming from low
hardware capabilities, limited power supply and unreliable channel conditions. The present paper
proposes a networking scheme that can operate efficiently under such physical restrictions.
Studying 3D multi-hop networks, the novel scheme offers scalable, trilateration-based node
addressing and low-complexity packet routing mechanisms. Analysis is employed to design a routing
process that balances path multiplicity for robust data delivery, and minimization of redundant
transmissions. Extensive simulations yield increased resilience to challenging network conditions.},
keypoints={A nanonetwork addressing and routing scheme is proposed, named N3.
*N3 provides path multiplicity and node failover, which are mandatory in the challenging nano-environment.
*A triplet of anchors is selected by a sender-node prior to its transmission.
*Each triplet selection yields a different boudning volume, allowing for optimization of selection.
*N3 was optimized analytically in terms of minimization of retransmissions,
whilst ensuring the high resilience of the network demanded by many applications,
e.g. smart materials. }

articleabstract={Efficient data routing is a critical enabler of future
nanonetworking applications. Such nano-routing schemes must account for highly lossy
wireless channel conditions, non-unique identifiers and limited processing capabilities
at the nanonodes comprising the network. The present study proposes a novel addressing
and routing scheme fit for 3D nanonetworks. Initially, a geo-addressing process is
applied within the network. Subsequently, it is shown that every node can deduce whether
it is located on the linear path connecting a communicating node-pair. This deduction
is made using integer calculations, node-local information and in a stateless manner,
minimizing the computational and storage overhead of the proposed scheme. Most importantly,
the nodes can regulate the width of the linear path, thusly trading energy efficiency
(redundant transmissions) for increased path diversity. This trait can enable future
adaptive routing schemes. Extensive evaluation via simulations highlights the advantages
of the novel scheme over related approaches.},

keypoints={Multi-hop nano-networks have interesting applications (active metamaterials).
*Multi-hop adds another networking restriction, i.e., low manufacturing cost per node.
*This is captured by assuming weak nano-node CPUs (integer-processing only) and limited RAM.
*The proposed Stateless, Linear Routing (SLR) is an effective solution for node addressing and
packet routing with tunable path redundancy.
*Key-enabler of SLR is the use of curvilinear coordinates.},
ideas={Due to curvilinearity, straight lines get distorted and bent.
But the distortion differs in significance.
Lines near our anchor viewport get bent more,
while lines further back remain straight.
Define the optimal anchors per sender-receiver pair, that minimizes the distortion degree.
*Virtual Coordinates suffer from resolution degradation: large areas too far from viewpoints
share the same coordinates. This may favor node fail-over, but can hamper energy efficiency.
Study the trade-off between curvilinearity and address resolution when selecting a viewpoint.

articleabstract={The present study proposes a novel collaborative traffic engineering
scheme for networks of autonomous systems. Backpressure routing principles
are used for deriving priority routing rules that optimally stabilize
a network, while maximizing its throughput under latency considerations.
The routing rules are deployed to the network following simple SDN
principles. The proposed scheme requires minimal, infrequent interaction
with a central controller, limiting its imposed workload. Furthermore,
it respects the internal structure of the autonomous systems and their
existing peering relations. In addition, it co-exists smoothly with
underlying distance vector-based routing schemes. The proposed scheme
combines simplicity with substantial gains in served transit traffic
volume, as shown by simulations in realistic setups and proven via
mathematical analysis.},
keypoints={A minimal-commitment/high-gain collaboration scheme may be
required to convince Autonomous Systems to try-out central orchestration.
*Applying Back-pressure (BPR) routing within a group of ASes can constitute
the basis for such a collaboration scheme.
*BPR promises throughput optimality, resulting in increased transit traffic,
fair distribution of additional traffic, increased network stability and
resilience to congestion events.
*BPR is simple in its operation and requires no changes in hardware,
BGP operation or peering policy violation.},
