Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Protocols and Evaluation With Model Checking

Overview A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a wireless network set up temporarily without a wired infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, cables, access points, etc.). The wireless nodes in a MANET may move around and each one of them may need to forward packets for other components in the network. Because they can be deployed quickly, MANETs could be used for disaster rescue, battle field communication, sensor networks, etc. this paper focuses on investigating the specific properties that a wireless routing protocol needs to satisfy, evaluating existing wireless routing protocols with model checking, and designing better protocols.

Vint Cerf: If I were young, I'd work on space networks

Bioelectronics is a field in which scientists develop electronics that can be wired to neurons in the brain in order to help the handicapped, for example. However, the openness of TCP/IP points to the viability of such an approach.

VoIP: Don't forget about security

I'm waiting to see the security tool which is a network packet sniffer that reassembles packets on the fly," Murray says. Before the overhaul, the company's network was badly hit by the Blaster worm, which flooded routers with junk packets.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
