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.

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.} } @inproceedings{ISCAS18.2, author = {Liu, F. and Pitilakis, A. and Mirmoosa, M. and Tsilipakos, O. and Wang, X. and Tasolamprou, A. and Abadal, S. and Cabellos, A. and Alarcon, E. and Liaskos, C. and Kantartzis, N.}, title = {Programmable Metasurfaces: State of the Art and Prospects}, booktitle = {IEEE International Symposium on Circuits {\&} Systems (ISCAS'18) - Special Session}, year = {2018}, articleabstract = {Metasurfaces, ultrathin and planar electromagnetic devices with sub-wavelength unit cells, have recently attracted enormous attention for their powerful control over electromagnetic waves, from microwave to visible range.

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. }, url = {./files/cnf/CAMAD18.pdf} } @inproceedings{ISCAS18.1, author = {Tasolamprou, A. and Mirmoosa, M. and Tsilipakos, O. and Pitilakis, A. and Liu, F. and Abadal, S. and Cabellos, A. and Alarcon, E. and Liaskos, C. and Kantartzis, N. and Tretyakov, S. and Kafesaki, M. and Economou, E. and Soukoulis, C.}, title = {Intercell wireless communication in software-defined metasurfaces}, booktitle = {IEEE International Symposium on Circuits {\&} Systems (ISCAS'18) - Special Session}, year = {2018}, articleabstract = {Tunable metasurfaces are ultra-thin, artificial electromagnetic components that provide engineered and externally adjustable functionalities.

This paper proposes a new paradigm, where scattering becomes software- 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.} } @inproceedings{pitilakisMETA2018, title={Software-Defined Metasurface Paradigm: Concept, Challenges, Prospects}, author={Pitilakis, A and Tasolamprou, AC and Liaskos, C and Liu, F and Tsilipakos, O and Wang, X and Mirmoosa, MS and Kossifos, K and Georgiou, J and Pitsilides, A and others}, booktitle={2018 12th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena (Metamaterials)}, pages={483--485}, year={2018}, organization={IEEE}, url = {./files/cnf/META2018.pdf}, doi = {10.1109/MetaMaterials.2018.8534096}, articleabstract = {HyperSurfaces (HSFs) are devices whose electromagnetic (EM) behavior is software- driven, i.e., it can be defined programmatically.

The maximum end-to-end delay in NMP applications is called Ensemble 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.

Moreover, the objectives of end-user networking logic are neither clear nor uniform. This constitutes the central optimization of network resources an additional challenge.

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.

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 over the electromagnetic behavior of matter. *Metamaterials are artificially designed materials, with unnatural, geometry-dependent electromagnetic properties. *A network of nanomachines receives external, programmatic commands and performs geometry-altering actions, yielding tunable or adaptive electromagnetic behavior.}, html={./?Publications___1-Page_reviews___IEEE_CAS&normal} } @article{gkounis2016interplay, title={On the Interplay of Link-Flooding Attacks and Traffic Engineering}, author={Gkounis, D. and Kotronis, V. and Liaskos, C. and Dimitropoulos, X.}, journal={ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review}, volume={46}, number={1}, pages={5--11}, year={2016}, publisher={ACM}, url = {./files/jrn/CCR16.pdf}, software = {./?Software#CCR}, doi = {10.1145/2935634.2935636}, articleabstract={Link-flooding attacks have the potential to disconnect even entire countries from the Internet.

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.}, html={./?Publications___1-Page_reviews___IEEE_TNSM} }
