abstract = {In the age of the Internet of Things, numerous devices of diverse
characteristics are communicating with each other. The underlying networks
supporting those communications can either use some sort of infrastructure
or implement an ad hoc network. For the latter type of networks and
depending on the application requirements, Topology-Transparent TDMA MAC
policies can be considered as they are inherently suited for dynamic and
unstructured topologies. However, such TDMA based schemes may suffer from
low throughput performance, especially in sparse networks, where a
significant portion of available
time slots remains unused.
To address this challenge, a Topology-Transparent TDMA MAC policy is
revisited in this paper, which utilizes unused slots by allowing nodes to
transmit in them under a common and fixed probability p. Additionally, an
improvement is proposed, where every node can calculate its own individual
access probability based on information gathered from its local
neighborhood. Simulation results demonstrate that the use of the individual
access probability leads to improved performance in terms of system
throughput. Moreover, the requirement for assigning a value to probability
p during the network initialization is relaxed, as this value is now
calculated dynamically and distributively during the network operation.},

abstract = {In distributed interactive application ecosystems, service provision and
availability are key factors for the end user's perceived quality.
Therefore, the location of any server facility is important from the
provider's standpoint for efficient capital expenditure. Given the
dynamicity of such environments (e.g., due to traffic load variance over
time), modeling this challenge as a median problem may require the
continuous calculation of the optimal location. To address this robustness
issue, a new robustness metric is introduced here for the case of the
single server in edge computing, which depends on the overall delay
experienced by the data traffic. Moreover, the smallest eigenvalue of the
median matrix is considered as an alternative means for measuring this
robustness. Using trace-driven simulation results, it is demonstrated that
there is indeed a relationship between the proposed robustness metric and
the smallest eigenvalue for the under consideration environment.},

approach is presented in this paper for tree topologies considering the
principal eigenvector of the distance matrix and the aggregate traffic

@article{dragonas2022refined,
abstract = {Modern network environments are starting to engulf billions of different
interconnected devices that support a wide range of applications. Depending
on the case, these environments range from static (e.g., wireless sensors)
to highly dynamic (e.g., vehicular networks) with respect to topology
changes and have different constraints for throughput, time delay, energy
consumption etc. Supporting such applications in a topology varying ad hoc
environment is a challenging task. Thus, TDMA-based MAC policies are
revisited here and a new policy, i.e., the Refined Policy, is proposed that
builds and improves on the topology-independent policies that appear in the
literature. In particular, an individual access probability is introduced
that is distributively calculated by each node to access time slots that
may result to collisions, but if not then unused network resources will be
utilized, thus, increasing throughput. The key idea under the Refined
Policy is to identify and refrain from transmitting during slots that
collisions are likely to appear. An analytical expression for the
individual access probability is also derived here. It is also shown
through simulation experiments that energy consumption is also reduced in
addition to throughput incremented under the proposed policy.},

@article{tsipis2022towards,
abstract = {Edge computing has emerged as the next big thing in distributed computing,
by extending the cloud paradigm and offering efficient ways to engage with
latency-intolerant applications, such as Virtual Reality (VR) multiplayer
games. In edge computing, the service providers can benefit from existing
cellular infrastructure to deploy services on edge servers that reside in
close proximity to the users. Given the limited available budget for edge
resource investment, one fundamental problem that manifests is the
discovery of a prudent edge allocation strategy, that will efficiently
prescribe which users are assigned to which edge servers, in order to
tackle application-specific requirements, like minimizing system deployment
cost. In this paper, considering the frequent interactions and view
inconsistencies occurring among multiple users immersed in the same VR
game, we address the problem from the users' perspective, focusing on
improving their edge admission rate, resource provisioning and overall
fairness, in order to subsequently maximize the average Quality of
Experience (QoE). We call this the Fairness and QoE Based Edge
Allocation'' (FQEA) problem, formally formulating its properties and
theoretically proving its complexity. However, discovering optimal
solutions to the NP-hard FQEA in large-scale VR scenarios is challenging.
Hence, we propose FQEA-H, a heuristic algorithm to generate allocation
strategies in a reasonable time. Comprehensive simulations, conducted on a
real-world topological trace, demonstrate how FQEA-H can tackle the problem
effectively, generally outperforming both the baseline and state-of-the-art
alternatives.},

In these kinds of environments, heterogenous networks are usually encountered, consisting of a wide variety of devices, ranging from data centers to Internet of Things devices and sensors. As such, each individual system's performance needs to be taken into account during the construction of the virtual backbone network, in order to maximize its efficiency based on the requirements of a considered service. To accomplish this, each node in the network is characterized by an appropriateness parameter, which indicates how appropriate a node is for a requested virtual backbone network. An algorithm for the construction of a CDS is extended to take this parameter into account. A low-cost wireless network installed in a university campus is used as an experimental testbed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the proposed approach is capable of constructing appropriate virtual backbone networks for smart tourism services which add reduced network overhead.},

@article{tsipis2022joint,
abstract = {Distributed interactive applications (DIAs), like immersive virtual reality and multiplayer cloud games, where players team-up and form social communities to participate in collaborative virtual events, dominate the modern cloud multimedia industry. Still, due to the massive workload, intensive graphics processing and delay intolerance, conventional cloud-only models are increasingly becoming ineffective. Thankfully, with the shift towards Mobile Edge Computing, game providers can leverage existing cellular infrastructure to deploy edge servers that supply gaming services in a highly accessible fashion. One fundamental challenge, that naturally arises, is the discovery of the most suitable player-to-edge server assignment strategy, that achieves a balanced trade-off between conflicting objectives that refer to high social interactivity on the one hand and low-cost server provisioning on the other. In this article, the core properties of social interactivity for gaming DIAs are investigated through formal formulation under diverse social aspects and strict assignment rules, respecting, in the meantime, the provisioning cost and constraints of the edge servers. We call this the Social Interactivity-oriented Edge Allocation'' (SIEA) problem and prove its NP-hardness. Based on our theoretical analysis, we present SIEA-H, a two-phase heuristic algorithm to efficiently assign players to servers and then iteratively refine the edge allocation strategy. SIEA-H is evaluated using comprehensive trace-driven simulations. The results demonstrate how it surpasses the baseline and state-of-the-art assignment alternatives in reducing the total cost, especially as the number of servers and their capacity grows, or the coverage area expands, while for players it exhibits the highest admission rate and the best overall resource management.},

abstract = {The effectiveness of service provisioning in large-scale networks is highly dependent on the number and location of service facilities deployed at various hosts. The classical, centralized approach to determining the latter would amount to formulating and solving the uncapacitated k-median (UKM) problem (if the requested number of facilities is fixed- k) or the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem (if the number of facilities is also to be optimized). Clearly, such centralized approaches require knowledge of global topological and demand information, and thus do not scale and are not practical for large networks. The key question posed and answered in this paper is the following: How can we determine in a distributed and scalable manner the number and location of service facilities?'' In this paper, we develop a scalable and distributed approach that answers our key question through an iterative reoptimization of the location and the number of facilities within network neighborhoods. We propose an innovative approach to migrate, add, or remove servers within limited-scope network neighborhoods by utilizing only local information about the topology and demand. We show that even with limited information about the network topology and demand, within one or two hops, our distributed approach achieves performance, under various synthetic and real Internet topologies and workloads, that is comparable to that of optimal, centralized approaches requiring full topology and demand information. We also show that it is responsive to volatile demand. Our approach leverages recent advances in virtualization technology toward an automated placement of services on the Internet.},

@inproceedings{zervopoulos2021software,
abstract = {The advent of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) brings about a major shift
in network management but also introduces various challenges, like
scalability, giving rise to physically distributed approaches towards a
logically centralized controller. When deploying multiple controllers,
where to place them in the network in order to minimize response times and
overhead is an issue that naturally arises.
This has been termed as the Controller Placement Problem (CPP). The CPP can
be viewed as an extension of the k-median problem, if the number of
controllers is known. However, unlike the k-median problem, assigning
switches to the available controllers is a challenging task, as even the
reassignment of a single switch can affect the performance of others. In
this work, the CPP is studied in the context of tree topologies, where it
is shown that reassigning a switch only affects its directly adjacent
switches. Additionally, a migration-based approach for solving the CPP is
considered, consisting of two parts: (i) the controller migration policy;
and (ii) the switch migration policy. The controller migration policy is
based on an existing service migration approach, whereas two different
switch migration policies are proposed and studied in this paper.
Simulation results demonstrate that in tree topologies, switch migrations
offer limited benefit. This is attributed to the limited opportunities for
switch migration that arise because of the topological aspects of trees. On
the other hand, the controller migration policy suffices to closely
approximate optimal solutions.},

abstract = {Drone swarms are employed for multiple applications nowadays, such as early
detection of forest fires, disaster response missions etc., area coverage
being the main hurdle these applications face. In this work, an algorithm
is proposed for drone swarms that achieves full area coverage and Point of
Interest (PoI) detection with no decomposition for areas with simple
polygon shapes and no obstacles. It employs small pieces of information
that are exchanged among the swarm drones in real-time. Parallel lines and
spiral coverage paths are examined in terms of the number of slowdowns in
the swarms speed to fully collect information from a detected PoI, the
scanned PoIs, and the formation switches that are executed when the swarm
has to alter its flying direction. Simulations are developed for a square
area shape. The results showcase that the parallel coverage path is more
efficient in terms of cover time and travel distance compared to the
spiral. The parallel coverage requires less slowdowns for the same
percentage of scanned PoIs.},

@inproceedings{skiadopoulos2021constructing,
abstract = {Several critical operations depend on various types of information
dissemination in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks. To avoid costly
flooding-based solutions in these typically large-scale network
environments, it is frequently sufficient enough to involve only a proper
subset of the nodes (or backbone network), ensuring that every other node
will be at most d hops away from a node belonging to the specific subset,
i.e., a connected dominating set (CDS). In many cases, the outputted CDS
size is upper bounded by a specific physical requirement or constraints
relating to the limited available processing and memory capacities of the
IoT nodes. Thus, a budget parameter k is frequently introduced as an upper
bound for the number of nodes comprising the CDS, leading to the creation
of a Budget Connected Dominating Set (BCDS). In this work, a novel
distributed algorithm for constructing a BCDS is proposed based on
information available d hops away from the network nodes, assuming an upper
budget k limit regarding its final size. An additional upper bound
parameter relating to the number of sent messages for each node, i.e., the
stop, is also for the first time utilized. It is shown using simulation
results that when stop is employed, a BCDS with increased coverage (i.e.,
the fraction of nodes at most d hops away from the BCDS nodes) is
constructed under the proposed algorithm.},

abstract = {Entering the age of the Internet of Things, millions of devices with
different requirements and diverse characteristics will soon be
interconnected. This interconnection, depending on the scenario, can be
achieved either through the cloud or by implementing an ad hoc network.
Frequent topology changes and energy consumption issues create the need for
researching new MAC Policies that are better suited to tackle the
aforementioned problems.
In this paper a TDMA Medium Access Control Policy for wireless ad hoc
networks is proposed which is unaware of the underlying topology. The
proposed policy is based on an already existing topology-independent policy
which utilizes the non-assigned TDMA slots by means of transmitting during
them probabilistically. The policy suggested here tries to improve by
identifying transmissions that have a high chance of creating collisions.
Experimental results show that the proposed policy achieves better
performance in terms of system throughput and at the same time achieves
fewer total transmissions, thus contributing in energy conservation.},

@article{tsipis2021arpa,
abstract = {Internet of Things (IoT) appliances, especially those realized through wireless sensor networks (WSNs), have been a dominant subject for heavy research in the environmental and agricultural sectors. To address the ever-increasing demands for real-time monitoring and sufficiently handle the growing volumes of raw data, the cloud/fog computing paradigm is deemed a highly promising solution. This paper presents a WSN-based IoT system that seamlessly integrates all aforementioned technologies, having at its core the cloud/fog hybrid network architecture. The system was intensively validated using a demo prototype in the Ionian University facilities, focusing on response time, an important metric of future smart applications. Further, the developed prototype is able to autonomously adjust its sensing behavior based on the criticality of the prevailing environmental conditions, regarding one of the most notable climate hazards, wildfires. Extensive experimentation verified its efficiency and reported on its alertness and highly conforming characteristics considering the use-case scenario of Corfu Island\'s 2019 fire risk severity. In all presented cases, it is shown that through fog leveraging it is feasible to contrive significant delay reduction, with high precision and throughput, whilst controlling the energy consumption levels. Finally, a user-driven web interface is highlighted to accompany the system; it is capable of augmenting the data curation and visualization, and offering real-time wildfire risk forecasting based on Chandler\'s burning index scoring.},

@article{tsoumanis2021energy,
abstract = {The aim of a mobile recharger operating in a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to keep the network's average consumed energy and covered distance low. As shown in the literature, the covered distance is minimized when the mobile recharger's base is located as per the solution of a median problem, while the network's average energy consumption is minimized as per the solution of a different median problem. In this work, the first problem is analytically investigated, showing that its solution depends on the traffic load and the topology characteristics. Furthermore, it is shown that, under certain conditions, the solution for both problems is identical. These analytical results motivate the introduction of a new on-demand recharging policy, simple to be implemented and depending on local information. The simulation results confirm the analytical findings, showing that the solutions of both median problems are identical under certain conditions in WSN environments. Additionally, the proposed recharging policy is evaluated against a well-known policy that exploits global knowledge, demonstrating its advantage for prolonging network lifetime. For both recharging policies, it is shown that energy consumption and covered distance are minimized when the mobile recharger is initially located at the solution of the said median problems.

abstract = {Internet of Things (IoT) appliances, especially those realized through wireless sensor networks (WSNs), have been a dominant subject for heavy research in the environmental and agricultural sectors. To address the ever-increasing demands for real-time monitoring and sufficiently handle the growing volumes of raw data, the cloud/fog computing paradigm is deemed a highly promising solution. This paper presents a WSN-based IoT system that seamlessly integrates all aforementioned technologies, having at its core the cloud/fog hybrid network architecture. The system was intensively validated using a demo prototype in the Ionian University facilities, focusing on response time, an important metric of future smart applications. Further, the developed prototype is able to autonomously adjust its sensing behavior based on the criticality of the prevailing environmental conditions, regarding one of the most notable climate hazards, wildfires. Extensive experimentation verified its efficiency and reported on its alertness and highly conforming characteristics considering the use-case scenario of Corfu Island\'s 2019 fire risk severity. In all presented cases, it is shown that through fog leveraging it is feasible to contrive significant delay reduction, with high precision and throughput, whilst controlling the energy consumption levels. Finally, a user-driven web interface is highlighted to accompany the system; it is capable of augmenting the data curation and visualization, and offering real-time wildfire risk forecasting based on Chandler\'s burning index scoring.},

abstract = {Structural health monitoring (SHM) in historical buildings can be achieved through systems that rely on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Such systems have the ability to acquire information fast and reliably, making them ideal for SHM applications. Historical buildings, having been exposed to the wear of time, are especially sensitive to any kind of intervention. As a result, keeping them as intact as possible is a critical factor for their integrity. In the current work, a low-cost WSN system and a synchronization algorithm are developed in order to be employed for SHM of historical buildings. The synchronization of WSN-based SHM systems is critical for the collection of accurate information describing the building\'s condition. The effectiveness of the assumed hardware and the synchronization algorithm were evaluated with two experiments. The first took place under laboratory conditions and its results showcase the algorithm\'s accuracy of synchronization. The second experiment was conducted in a real-world environment. For that purpose, the Ionian Campus Testbed was chosen since it comprises buildings that are more than 200 years old. These buildings are appropriate since they were built with thick stone walls which help determine the system\'s effectiveness under such conditions. The results derived from the second experiment showcase the effects of the packet transmission collision avoidance mechanism utilized by the assumed hardware. Finally, an estimation of the average clock skew required for accurate information gathering is derived, based on the materials comprising a historical building.},

abstract = {Information dissemination is an integral part of modern networking environments, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Probabilistic flooding, a common epidemic-based approach, is used as an efficient alternative to traditional blind flooding as it minimizes redundant transmissions and energy consumption. It shares some similarities with the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model, in the sense that the dissemination process and the epidemic thresholds, which achieve maximum coverage with the minimum required transmissions, have been found to be common in certain cases. In this paper, some of these similarities between probabilistic flooding and the SIR epidemic model are identified, particularly with respect to the epidemic thresholds. Both of these epidemic algorithms are experimentally evaluated on a university campus testbed, where a low-cost WSN, consisting of 25 nodes, is deployed. Both algorithm implementations are shown to be efficient at covering a large portion of the network\'s nodes, with probabilistic flooding behaving largely in accordance with the considered epidemic thresholds. On the other hand, the implementation of the SIR epidemic model behaves quite unexpectedly, as the epidemic thresholds underestimate sufficient network coverage, a fact that can be attributed to implementation limitations.},

abstract = {The emerging new paradigm under the fifth generation of wireless communications technologies (5G) and high expectations for massively expanding today's Internet of Things (IoT) under 5G, are expected to support a large plurality of low-cost devices for an all-increasing number of new IoT applications. Many emerging IoT applications are going to take advantage of techniques and technologies that have high demands from low-cost devices in terms of processing large amounts of data and communication. For example, in systems based on fog computing technology, low-cost devices have to assign some of their limited resources for processing purposes. Considering the drawbacks emerging from using low-cost devices and the fact that many applications are in need for time-constrained approaches, TDMA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) policies need to be revisited and implemented in low-cost devices of today. In this sense, a policy independent of the underlying topology, TiMAC policy, is considered here and is implemented in low-cost devices using 433 MHz RF modules. Even though the implementation is limited by synchronization issues and a small number of nodes, the obtained experimental results demonstrate the potential for employing TDMA-based MAC policies on IoT systems consisting of low-cost devices.},

abstract = {The recent technological evolution of drones along with the constantly growing maturity of its commercialization, has led to the emergence of novel drone-based applications within the field of wireless sensor networks for information collection purposes. In such settings, especially when deployed in outdoor environments with limited external control, energy consumption and robustness are challenging problems for the system's operation. In the present paper, a drone-assisted wireless sensor network is studied, the aim being to coordinate the routing of information (among the ground nodes and its propagation to the drone), investigating several drone trajectories or route shapes and examining their impact on information collection (the aim being to minimize transmissions and consequently, energy consumption). The main contribution lies on the proposed algorithms that coordinate the communication between (terrestrial) sensor nodes and the drone that may follow different route shapes. It is shown through simulations using soft random geometric graphs that the number of transmitted messages for each drone route shape depends on the rotational symmetry around the center of each shape. An interesting result is that the higher the order of symmetry, the lower the number of transmitted messages for data collection. Contrary, for those cases that the order of symmetry is the same, even for different route shapes, similar number of messages is transmitted. In addition to the simulation results, an experimental demonstration, using spatial data from grit bin locations, further validates the proposed solution under real-world conditions, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed approach.},

The system is tested in the town of Corfu during a period of increased tourism when the traffic is considered to be relatively dense. The mobile tracking system devices are placed on taxis and with the help of professional taxi drivers the accuracy of the data collected is evaluated. The system is able to record the movement of the vehicles accurately using its own independent data. The results can be remotely accessed by utilizing fog and cloud computing infrastructure established to process the data and upload it on a server. The system is used to give a better understanding of the speed variance in the center of the town during different dates and hours.

A popular implementation involves the deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which embed low energy consumption sensory nodes to capture the critical environmental parameters prevailing on the farms. However, to manage the ever-increasing volumes of raw data successfully, new approaches must be explored. Under this scope, current work reports on the design and development of an IoT system, having in mind the case of olive groves, which are considered the dominant sector for agricultural activity in the Mediterranean Basin. The system incorporates the cloud/fog computing paradigm to equip the olive growers with a low-cost solution for accurate, reliable, and almost real-time monitoring of their crops. Its core is based on a three-layered network architecture, capable of dynamically balancing the generated load, by pushing cloud-elastic resources to the underlying fog network. As such, the premise of the approach lies in the conforming character of the system that allows for targeted alterations to its operational functionality to meet stringent latency and traffic load environmental monitoring constraints. To evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture, a demo prototype is developed and deployed in the facilities of the Ionian University. Experimental results illustrate the efficiency, flexibility, and scalability of the approach in terms of latency, achieving response time reduction across all platforms, a subject of the utmost importance when it comes to precision agriculture of the future. Moreover, it is shown that the system is capable of dynamic functionality adaptation, to meet network traffic load constraints, achieving high throughput (on average 95\%) and addressing potential environmental dangers to olive oil production.},

abstract = {As current network technologies evolve towards 5G supporting increased throughput and low time delays, a need emerges for supporting time constraint applications at the wireless end user level. The network formed due to the dynamicity of the Internet of Things (IoT), can be seen as a wireless ad hoc environment where certain time constraints need to be satisfied motivating the revisit of topology independent TDMA policies in this work. It has been shown that such policies, even though suitable to satisfy certain time constraints, suffer either from low throughput or from fairness issues. In this paper a new fairness-aware policy for medium access control in wireless ad hoc networks is proposed that exploits the topology independent properties of the existing policies in the literature and in addition, it takes into account fairness by accessing the medium according to the individual envy metric that is easily calculated by each node. In particular, under the proposed policy, nodes that are treated unfairly'' increase their medium access opportunities in subsequent frames and vice versa. The proposed policy is evaluated against the existing topology independent policies demonstrating its effectiveness of throughput increment while at the same time nodes are treated fairly'' (given certain fairness metrics). It is shown here that the best case regarding throughput corresponds to the policy of the worst case regarding fairness while those policies that treat nodes fairly'', result in small throughput. Under the proposed policy, fairness remains close to the best fairness case but at the same time throughput is improved compared to the same case. Furthermore, it is also shown here that individual nodes that are treated unfairly'' tend to experience a larger number of consecutive re-transmissions and consequently time delays, thus emphasizing the need to consider fairness in these emerging environments.},

abstract = {The construction of Connected Dominating Sets (CDS) in order to provide virtual backbones over low-cost wireless networks and facilitate the operation of intelligent services in smart tourism environments is a challenging task. In these kinds of environments, heterogenous networks are usually encountered, consisting of a wide variety of devices, ranging from data centers to Internet of Things devices and sensors. As such, each individual system's performance needs to be taken into account during the construction of the virtual backbone network, in order to maximize its efficiency based on the requirements of a considered service. To accomplish this, each node in the network is characterized by an appropriateness parameter, which indicates how appropriate a node is for a requested virtual backbone network. An algorithm for the construction of a CDS is extended to take this parameter into account. A low-cost wireless network installed in a university campus is used as an experimental testbed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the proposed approach is capable of constructing appropriate virtual backbone networks for smart tourism services which add reduced network overhead.},

abstract = {Virtual backbones are often used to provide a form of hierarchical infrastructure to ad-hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks, facilitating various demanding operations, such as routing. Virtual backbones are often constructed using Connected Dominating Sets (CDSs). The degree of mobility and chance of node failure present in such networks cause frequent network topology changes that require the maintenance and reconstruction of the virtual backbone, which can hinder the network. Therefore, the ability of the CDS to mitigate and avoid changes in topology should be a major concern during its construction. The approach proposed in this paper aims at minimizing the need for CDS maintenance, achieving its construction by selecting the most reliable nodes, when possible. Additionally, the construction of d-hop CDS is examined, as a way to restrict the resulting virtual backbone networks to reliable core infrastructure. The assessment of this approach is done through experiments, which are conducted on a low-cost wireless network deployed on a university campus testbed, which comprises 25 low-cost devices. Each node is assigned an appropriateness parameter used to describe the node's reliability. The experiments focus on 1-CDS and 2-CDS construction, comparing the virtual backbones resulting from construction where the appropriateness parameter is taken into account, to those where it is not. The results indicate that utilizing the appropriateness parameter yields virtual backbones that are more reliable when 1-CDS is considered, whereas a small decrease in overall reliability is observed in 2-CDS construction.},

abstract = {This work presents a low-cost road traffic monitoring system using IoT devices. The system is structured in three tiers: (i) the mobile vehicle tracking system recording vehicles position and movement; (ii) the information gathering system that collects the recorded data from the mobile vehicle tracking system; and (iii) a fog-computing environment which process the collected data and upload it on servers for further process. The monitoring results presented in this work are collected in the historic town of Corfu during periods of both heavy and light traffic conditions. The system is able to recognize the vehicles' movement behavior during heavy and light traffic thus locating the areas where traffic congestion occurs. The results are accessed remotely by exploiting a fog computing infrastructure designed for this purpose and which updates the information on the processing server. In this context, the proposed low-cost system can by utilized to monitor traffic and locate areas where traffic congestion events are possible to happen in order to support enhanced urban transfer services in smart cities.},

In order to tackle the energy hole problem's effects (i.e., sensor nodes close to the sink consume a considerable amount of their energy for relaying purposes), in this paper two approaches that are proposed in the literature, i.e., energy harvesting and clustering, are considered and evaluated through simulations. It is shown here that under energy harvesting, the network lifetime is prolonged, the latter prolongation to be more effective for low energy consumption regarding the sink. Additionally, it is shown that clustering approaches are effective and can increase the networks' lifetime. This is observed in this paper, especially for the case where the number of data packets generated within the sink's cluster is decreased.},

abstract = {Routing in wireless sensor networks is a challenging task due to the energy hole problem, which negatively affects the network's operation. Taking into account path impotence, i.e., a metric based on the transmission distance and the energy left at the nodes' batteries, an adjustable routing policy is proposed here that allows nodes to choose different parent nodes for forwarding their data packets toward the sink node. A major difference from the conventional approaches is that path impotence is determined by the most impotent node, instead of adding up the metric along the path. Due to this difference, the proposed policy propagates path impotence values throughout the network efficiently, with reduced extra control messages (e.g., no need to continuously reconstruct routing trees). The number of messages sent by the particular policy (i.e., overhead) is analytically investigated here and, in addition, it is analytically shown that no deadlocks are possible. Simulation results are used for evaluating the proposed policy against other eight similar policies that appear in the literature. It is demonstrated that when the introduced overhead is taken into account (e.g., energy is consumed when transmitting messages similarly to data packet transmissions), the proposed policy outperforms the other policies under certain conditions, related to the size of the message compared to the size of data packets.},

of exchanged messages) is addressed, by proposing a novel algorithm that
clusters nodes under a simple, cost-effective way. Simulation results
depict that sufficient advantage is gained using the proposed solution.},

abstract = {The multiple random walkers mechanism is revisited in this paper for service discovery purposes considering modern dynamic network environments like the Internet of Things (IoT), where there is a need for certain services (e.g., virtual network functions) to be available to the end users through fog computing devices. Network coverage is analytically investigated here considering multiple random walkers in soft random geometric graph topologies of various densities. It is shown that as the number of random walkers increases, then coverage linearly increases in the considered topologies. The analytical findings of this work are shown to be in accordance with other results in the literature (e.g., coverage under multiple random walkers for fully connected network topologies). Moreover, for certain coverage and time constraints (i.e., the minimum fraction of network nodes to be covered within a certain time period that is of practical importance in the considered environment), the required minimum number of random walkers satisfying these constraints is also analytically derived. A replication mechanism that allows random walkers to replicate themselves after a fixed number of time steps is also analytically investigated here with respect to coverage for various topology densities. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of multiple random walkers for service discovery purposes in the considered fog computing IoT environment and support the claims and expectations of the analysis for both the multiple random walkers and the replicated multiple random walkers mechanism.},

@article{skiadopoulos2019synchronization,
abstract = {Time synchronization is a challenging problem for wireless sensor networks, as clocks deviate and sensor measurements need to be associated with the reference clock time they took place. In Internet of Things (IoT) environments, crucial factors like energy, robustness, limited capabilities and extreme ambient conditions (e.g., when nodes are deployed in soil) lead researchers to consider various schemes of relaxing the synchronization requirements. In this paper, a lightweight synchronization algorithm is proposed for wireless sensor networks, focusing on synchronizing the particular measurements in a per hop basis as they are transmitted encapsulated in data packets towards the sink node. The aim is to synchronize data measurements instead of node clocks, and thereby, induce negligible extra overhead, since extra messages and re-synchronization periods are not required. The analysis of the proposed algorithm regarding time deviation and the corresponding variance shows a dependency on residual time (i.e., the particular time period a data packet remains within a node), distance (i.e., the number of hops between the sink node and the sensor node that sensed the data in the first place) and the average skew deviation value. Various simulations were carried out aiming to exhibit thoroughly the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, as well as the validation of the analytical results. Findings from a comparison between the proposed algorithm and a traditional synchronization algorithm along with their simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be a suitable solution for demanding environments like IoT systems.},

These usually split the game world into different clusters using a multi-server architecture.

These definitions may vary significantly and they may not allow for further investigation of particular aspects of the network's behavior, thus impending the researcher's work. The purpose of this paper is to lift any ambiguities with respect to widely used load definitions, analyze their properties and provide for a new perspective to study wireless sensor networks' performance, particularly for the case of uniform random node deployment. First, definitions regarding the node load, the average area load and the average point load, the most widely used cases considered in the literature, are presented. Subsequently, the relation among these definitions is analytically investigated, resulting in an analytical expression between the average area load and the average load of the points within this area. As it is concluded, average load can be seen as a property of every single point, even if that point is not occupied by a sensor, which introduces a difierent way to tackle average load problems in wireless sensor network environments.},

abstract = {Prolonging a wireless sensor network's lifetime is closely related to energy consumption and particularly the energy hole problem, where sensor nodes close to the sink consume a considerable amount of their energy for relaying purposes. To tackle the energy hole problem's effects, this paper proposes an analytical model for analyzing the available energy in the network. The next step is to analytically model the overall energy consumption as a k-median facility location problem, its solution corresponding to the location of k sinks in the network. As analytically shown, when k sinks are placed according to the solution of the previous facility location problem, then the overall energy consumption is minimized, resulting in a higher energy-saving system. Thus, the saved energy can be further utilized, e.g., to extend the network's lifetime and support modern replenishing techniques such as energy harvesting and battery recharging. Simulation results validate the analytical model that is the basis of the analysis and confirm the results with respect to the available energy in the network. In particular, significant energy savings are observed when the analytical results are applied, thus resulting in better energy utilization and subsequent network lifetime increment.},

various recharging policies have been proposed attempting to keep the
average energy level high and the recharging distance (i.e., the distance
covered by a mobile recharger) low. As shown in the literature, the
recharging distance is minimized when the basis of the mobile recharger is
located at the solution of a median problem that takes into account both
distance and traffic demands. In this paper, a novel on-demand recharging
policy is proposed based on local information, where the mobile recharger
moves - upon request - to a target node of reduced energy level and
replenishes its battery. Under the proposed policy, the mobile recharger
moves in a hop-by-hop manner to the neighbor nodes of the lowest energy
level, starting from the target node. The effectiveness of this policy is
investigated here using simulation results and compared against an existing
well-known on-demand recharging policy that exploits global knowledge
(i.e., knowledge of both the energy level of all nodes and the network
topology). It is shown that the proposed policy, even though based on local
information, maintain the average energy level and termination time higher
than that under the existing one that exploits global knowledge.
Furthermore, it is observed that the network's lifetime is maximized when
the basis of the mobile recharger is located at the solution of the
mentioned median problem for all studied policies.},

The focus in this paper is on a simple recharging policy that permits a recharging vehicle, stationed at the sink node, to move around and replenish any node's exhausted battery when a certain recharging threshold is violated. The minimization of the recharging distance covered by the recharging vehicle is shown to be a facility location problem, and particularly a 1-median one. Simulation results investigate various aspects of the recharging policy -- including an enahnced version -- related to the recharging threshold and the level of the energy left in the network nodes' batteries.

are propagated in the network with reduced overall overhead (e.g., no need

@inproceedings{skiadopoulos2018distributed,
abstract = {Several critical operations such as, data collection, routing, service discovery, etc., employ various types of information dissemination in order to be carried out. To avoid costly flooding-based solutions reaching out to all nodes, it is frequently sufficient that only a proper subset of the nodes (or backbone network) be involved, i.e., the one ensuring that every other node will be at most $d$ hops away from a node belonging to the said subset of nodes. Finding this subset is equivalent to the construction of a d-hop Connected Dominating Set (d-CDS). Given the high complexity (non-polynomial) and the requirement of global information for constructing a Minimum d-CDS (d-MCDS), in this paper a distributed algorithm that relies on local information (i.e., $d$ hops away) to construct an approximation of the d-MCDS is developed. The proposed algorithm is studied and compared against a centralized one that is an approximate solution for the minimum d-MCDS problem, and a recently proposed distributed one. It is shown that the size of the constructed d-CDS under the proposed algorithm is (i) close and sometimes smaller than that under the recently proposed one; and (ii) close to the centralized one. In addition, the number of transmitted messages is significantly reduced under the proposed algorithm, which is important for preserving energy resources in wireless sensor networks.},

abstract = {Technological advantages in energy harvesting have been successfully applied in wireless sensor network environments, prolonging network's lifetime, and, therefore, classical networking approaches like information dissemination need to be readdressed. More specifically, Probabilistic Flooding information dissemination is revisited in this work and it is observed that certain limitations arise due to the idiosyncrasies of nodes' operation in energy harvesting network environments, resulting in reduced network coverage. In order to address this challenge, a modified version of Probabilistic Flooding is proposed, called Robust Probabilistic Flooding, which is capable of dealing with nodes of about to be exhausted batteries that resume their operation after ambient energy collection. In order to capture the behavior of the nodes' operational states, a Markov chain model is also introduced and -- based on certain observations and assumptions presented here -- is subsequently simplified. Simulation results based on the proposed Markov chain model and a solar radiation dataset demonstrate the inefficiencies of Probabilistic Flooding and show that its enhanced version (i.e., Robust Probabilistic Flooding) is capable of fully covering the network on the expense of increased termination time in energy harvesting environments. Another advantage is that no extra overhead is introduced regarding the number of disseminated messages, thus not introducing any extra transmissions and therefore the consumed energy does not increase.},

abstract = {Information dissemination plays a crucial role in modern network
environments being an integral part of various vital processes (e.g.,
service discovery, data collection, routing). Probabilistic flooding has
been proposed as a suitable alternative to blind flooding in order to
reduce unnecessary transmissions and save valuable network resources. Under
probabilistic flooding, an information message, initially located at some
network node (i.e., the initiator node), is transmitted to neighbor nodes
according to a forwarding probability attempting to reach all network
nodes. This paper employs elements from algebraic graph theory to model
probabilistic flooding behavior and derive analytical results regarding
coverage (i.e., the number of nodes that have received the information
message) and a lower bound of the forwarding probability allowing for
global network outreach. It is also shown here, that for any value of the
forwarding probability larger than this lower bound, (i) coverage under
probabilistic flooding, is proportional to the initiator's node eigenvector
centrality; and (ii) the probability for a node to receive the information
message is proportional to the particular node's eigenvector centrality.
Simulations performed for various topologies demonstrate the effectiveness
of the proposed analytical model and support the analytical results.},

Approaches like traditional flooding, are not suitable in these typically large scale and inherently dynamic environments due to the large number of transmitted information messages. Probabilistic flooding is capable of pruning unnecessary transmissions, while maintaining a large proportion of the network nodes covered. In this paper, an algebraic-based approach is employed to derive an estimation regarding the particular threshold probability value that would allow for high network coverage and reduced number of sent information messages. For the analysis' purposes, coverage is studied here and eventually modeled as a polynomial; its higher root being related to the threshold probability. By studying this polynomial's roots, the paper's contribution is twofold: (i) results existing in the open literature are confirmed; and (ii) an algorithm is introduced here to estimate the threshold probability. Simulation results confirm the analytical findings and in addition, they demonstrate that the estimated value derived here regarding threshold probability, is suitable for achieving high coverage and reducing the number of transmitted information messages.},

@article{dragonas2018disjoint,
abstract = {Medium access control (MAC) is a challenging problem in vehicular environments due to a constantly changing topology due to vehicle's mobility and stringent delay requirements, especially for safety-related applications (e.g., for vehicular-to-vehicular communication). Consequently, topology-independent TDMA MAC policies that guarantee a number of successful transmissions per frame independently of the underlying topology, can be regarded as a suitable choice for the particular vehicular environment. One such policy (TiMAC) is revisited and considered in this paper for a vehicular environment and is also extended to one that considers disjoint frames depending on the vehicle's direction of movement (d-TiMAC). Both TiMAC and d-TiMAC are evaluated against VeMAC --- a well-established TDMA MAC protocol in the area of vehicular networks --- based on simulations. It is observed that throughput under the considered TiMAC policy is close to that induced by VeMAC, whereas the number of retransmissions is reduced leading to a smaller time delay. Furthermore, the proposed d-TiMAC appears to achieve a higher throughput than VeMAC, and an even lower number of retransmissions (when compared to TiMAC), suggesting that d-TiMAC yields an even smaller time delay. Eventually, this observation is also supported when d-TiMAC is compared against TiMAC showing a further reduced number of retransmissions.},

abstract = {The proliferation of wireless sensor networks supports numerous areas of
everyday life and activities. Each sensor node senses some data of interest
(e.g., humidity, temperature) and the corresponding measurements need to be
tagged with the reference time (usually sink node's time) they took place,
in order to be further analyzed (e.g., to exploit time and space
dimensions). Given that, clocks deviate, time synchronization is a
challenging problem in this network environment. In this paper, the focus
is on synchronizing the particular measurements in a per hop basis as they
are transmitted encapsulated in data packets towards the sink node, instead
of synchronizing the node clocks thus, inducing no extra overhead.
Therefore, a synchronization algorithm is proposed here for synchronizing
the corresponding measurements in a per hop basis based on MAC layer time
stamping as data packets are transmitted. Analytical results regarding the
average time deviation and the corresponding variance under the proposed
algorithm show a dependency on the residual time (i.e., the time period a
data packet remains with a node), the distance (i.e., the number of hops
between the sink node and the sensor node that sensed the data initially)
and the average skew deviation value. The effectiveness of the algorithm as
well as the validation of the analytical results is demonstrated thoroughly
using simulation results.},

abstract = {Wireless sensor networks (Akyildiz, 2002) is a low cost and easily deployed technology in hostle environments like the sea. Sensor technology has been used in sea environments, mainly for scientfc purposes, since the equipments were costly, not easily repairable or widely deployable. The idea here is the development of a system consistng of low-cost sensor nodes widely deployed on the sea surface taking advantage of recent developments on areas of networking, solar engineering and sensors of organic polluton, e.g., (Stach, 2018). The sensed data are expected to be efciently collected in terms of energy consumpton (Tsoumanis, 2018), while the sensor bateries are replenished accordingly to prolong the network's lifetme (Kavvadia, 2014). A set of protocols is developed within low-cost devices (e.g., Arduino) in a way that takes into account the partcular environment. It will be tested and evaluated in a close to reality sea surface environment. The focus is on the low-cost requirement, the network lifetme extension and the resilience in the sea environment. The protocol development process will allow for large-scale manufacturing and the subsequent reduced overall cost per node. The main result is that the developed system satsfes the aforementoned requirements (low- cost, widely deployable, prolonged lifetme) and at the same tme adjusts to new technological advancements. For example, in case new sensors emerge in the future, requiring diferent monitoring procedures, the developed system will be able to seamlessly integrate these changes. A low-cost wireless sensor system for monitoring sea polluton at the surface of the Ionian Sea is designed, tested using simulatons and partly developed in a demo environment facing the challenges of being low-cost, prolonging the network lifetme and delivering data within certain tme constraints. Such a tool is a necessity for the Ionian Sea since from the ancient tmes it has been the main sea route between West and East and motvate a large scale project accordingly.},

Adaptive exhibition topologies focus on the time that visitors are willing to spend for their visit. In contrast to conventional implementations, adaptive exhibition topologies instances are created according to their visitors' interests and their available time while taking into consideration certain curatorial guidelines. A number of topologies is introduced as well as appropriate metrics for their study and comparison reasons.

The probabilistic nature of information dissemination using random walkers is exploited here to deal with challenges imposed by unconventional modern environments. In such systems, node operation is not deterministic (e.g., does not depend only on network nodes' battery), but it rather depends on the particulars of the ambient environment (e.g., in the case of energy harvesting: sunshine, wind). The mechanism of information dissemination using one random walker is studied and analyzed in this paper under a different and novel perspective. In particular, it takes into account the stochastic nature of random walks, enabling further understanding of network coverage. A novel and original analysis is presented, which reveals the evolution network coverage by a random walker with respect to time. The derived analytical results reveal certain additional interesting aspects regarding network coverage, thus shedding more light on the random walker mechanism. Further analytical results, regarding the walker's spatial movement and its associated neighborhood, are also confirmed through experimentation. Finally, simulation results considering random geometric graph topologies, which are suitable for modeling mobile environments, support and confirm the analytical findings.},

Virtual environments are an effective media for cultural content communication combining existing communication media and providing diverse interaction methods. In this paper, these methods are tested for their effectiveness and appropriateness under certain conditions while usability issues are addressed. In many cases, there is demand for the content to be organised and be available to other systems. Virtual environments do not provide content organisation and content dissemination functionality, thus, a framework providing them is proposed. A database (RDBMS) is used for keeping the content according to an appropriately designed information schema that further organises it. Dissemination requirements are taken into consideration and add-on mechanisms are designed to provide access to the content and dissemination services adapted to the modern World Wide Web technologies.},

[Bibtex]
@inproceedings{demertzis2015braided,
abstract = {Many-to-one wireless sensor networks suffer from an extreme variance of energy consumption due to diverse traffic load within the network nodes. Sensor nodes close to the sink consume significantly more energy than the farther ones, resulting in the energy hole problem (i.e., global variance). In addition, even nodes located at the same distance from the sink experience different traffic load with each other (i.e., local variance). The uneven distribution of traffic load, both globally and locally, results in a severe shortening of the time until the first node runs out of battery. This work focuses on balancing the traffic load of equally-distant from the sink nodes by sharing each one's load among its next-hop neighbors. Eventually, packets are traveling from a node to the sink by following interlaced paths. The proposed routing mechanism, called braided routing, is a simple one and can be applied over any least-cost routing policy, incurring a negligible overhead. Simulation results show that the local variance of energy consumption is reduced about 70-80\% on average while the time until the first nodal loss can be prolonged more than twice in many cases.},

abstract = {The growth of cloud computing and the need to support the ever increasing number of applications introduces new challenges and gives rise to various optimization problems, such as calculating the number and location of virtual MAChines instantiating cloud services to minimize a well-defined cost function. This paper introduces a novel cloud computing network architecture that allows for the formulation of the optimization as an Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) problem, where a facility corresponds to an instantiation of a particular service (e.g. a virtual MAChine). Since UFL is not only difficult (NP-hard and requires global information), but also its centralized solution is non-scalable, the approach followed here is distributed and elastic, and relays local information to improve scalability. In particular, virtual MAChine replication and merging are proposed and analyzed ensuring overall cost reduction. In addition, a policy that employs virtual MAChine replication and merging along with migration is proposed to reduce the overall cost for using a service. The efficiency of this policy and its limitations are analyzed and discussed, with simulation results supporting the analytical findings and demonstrating a significant overall cost reduction when the proposed policy is implemented.},

This is achieved by creating: 1) an application called v-isit; 2) video-based virtual tours (v-tours) consisting of parts of v-City. Both of them improve teaching history and promoting cultural heritage of the particular city, by using the latter v-Sites and avatars. Both v-Sites and avatars have the capability, through special virtual assistants (v-Assistants), of providing the viewers with pieces of information related to the particular site or the person represented by the avatar. },

Additional to the previous, users are exposed to route planning problems in which time should be considered as an important constraint. In this paper, the aim is to deal with these issues by providing users with constrained interest-based tour recommendations. A recommendation model is proposed to deal with the users information overload issue. A route planning algorithm supplied with recommendations by the recommendation model is designed to provide tour recommendations. The recommendation model as well as the route planning algorithm results are tested for various cases giving interesting outcomes. The recommendation model and the route planning algorithm are both integrated into the virtual environment and interoperating with navigation assistance methods to provide effective tour guide services applicable in virtual and physical environments.},

@article{smaragdakis2014distributed,
abstract = {The effectiveness of service provisioning in large-scale networks is highly dependent on the number and location of service facilities deployed at various hosts. The classical, centralized approach to determining the latter would amount to formulating and solving the uncapacitated k-median (UKM) problem (if the requested number of facilities is fixed- k) or the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem (if the number of facilities is also to be optimized). Clearly, such centralized approaches require knowledge of global topological and demand information, and thus do not scale and are not practical for large networks. The key question posed and answered in this paper is the following: How can we determine in a distributed and scalable manner the number and location of service facilities?'' In this paper, we develop a scalable and distributed approach that answers our key question through an iterative reoptimization of the location and the number of facilities within network neighborhoods. We propose an innovative approach to migrate, add, or remove servers within limited-scope network neighborhoods by utilizing only local information about the topology and demand. We show that even with limited information about the network topology and demand, within one or two hops, our distributed approach achieves performance, under various synthetic and real Internet topologies and workloads, that is comparable to that of optimal, centralized approaches requiring full topology and demand information. We also show that it is responsive to volatile demand. Our approach leverages recent advances in virtualization technology toward an automated placement of services on the Internet.},

abstract = {This paper proposes a non-uniform solution to the energy hole problem. The network is formed by a large number of tiny sensors, randomly scattered over a circular area and the sink positioned at the center. The sensors produce data with the same rate and the data travels from the nodes to the sink in a multi-hop fashion, using a shortest path routing. The basic idea, in order to avoid the energy hole around the sink, is to equip each network area with so much energy as the traffic load of that area. Firstly, a pure analytical expression for the traffic load is derived and then, based on this expression, a non-uniform deployment is proposed, with variable surface density, for a certain number of dormant nodes. Each time an active node exhaust its battery, a near dormant node becomes active and takes its place. The proposed strategy improves the network lifetime by a factor of 50 and the energy utilization by a factor of 6, compared to a conventional network without dormant nodes.},

At the same time, the resulting network congestion has been repeatedly reported as the main bottleneck in DCs, even when the overall resource utilization of the infrastructure remains low. However, most current VM management strategies are traffic-agnostic, while the few that are traffic-aware only concern a static initial allocation, ignore bandwidth oversubscription, or do not scale. In this paper we present S-CORE, a scalable VM migration algorithm to dynamically reallocate VMs to servers while minimizing the overall communication footprint of active traffic flows. We formulate the aggregate VM communication as an optimization problem and we then define a novel distributed migration scheme that iteratively adapts to dynamic traffic changes. Through extensive simulation and implementation results, we show that S-CORE achieves significant (up to 87\%) communication cost reduction while incurring minimal overhead and downtime.},

[Bibtex]
@inproceedings{kavvadia2014robust,
abstract = {Modern network environments, like energy harvesting wireless sensor networks in which network lifetime can be prolonged due to ambient energy collection, necessitate the revisit of classical networking problems like information dissemination. However, as observed in this paper, flooding-based information dissemination mechanisms suffer certain limitations due to the idiosyncrasies of nodes' operational states in energy harvesting network environments. Certain observations motivate the introduction of Robust Probabilistic Flooding, i.e., a robust version of Probabilistic Flooding, capable of dealing with non-operating nodes due to exhausted batteries that later resume their operation due to successful ambient energy collection. A Markov chain model is also introduced to capture the qualitative aspects of such environments in which nodes may or may not operate. This Markov chain is simplified in the sequel, based on certain observations and assumptions presented here, and subsequently used for evaluating the proposed Robust Probabilistic Flooding through simulations. In particular, simulation results demonstrate the inefficiency of Probabilistic Flooding to achieve full coverage in energy harvesting environments. On the other hand, it is shown that Robust Probabilistic Flooding is capable of fully covering the network on the expense of increased termination time. Furthermore, no extra overhead is introduced with respect to the number of messages, thus avoiding extra transmissions and therefore, no additional energy is consumed.},

The monitoring focus is on historical buildings in which installing wires maybe range from difficult (e.g., fragile constructions) to impossible (e.g., prohibitive legislation). However, this innovative approach is vulnerable with respect to synchronization issues. In particular, all data sensed by different sensors need to have the correct universal time stamp. Since under this approach there is no central entity to take a synchronization role, in this paper the use of a local NTP server is proposed and as it is shown here using experimental results, this approach suffices for the particular monitoring needs. Thus, the claim that the innovative system can efficiently support the required monitoring of ambient vibrations in historical buildings.},

In this paper, virtual Corfu (v-Corfu) is presented, i.e., a virtual world consisting of historical buildings, monuments and other existing sites characteristic of the city of Corfu, transformed into virtual sites (v-sites). A possible way of implementing v-Corfu as an education enhancer tool is explored here, focusing on the ability to promote the study of the city's history, highlight its culture and increase its attractiveness to interested potential visitors (e.g., students, tourists) or even its inhabitants. By exploiting the fact that most of these sites represented in v-Corfu do exist in the city, the aim is to further improve education by playing in the duality of both worlds. This is achieved by (i) projecting movie-like virtual tours (v-tours) consisting of parts of v-Corfu next to the real ones; and (ii) by having avatars of important historical persons participating in v-Corfu and walking nearby places that used to be their whereabouts in times long past. Both v-sites and avatars have the capability, through special virtual assistants (v-assistants), to provide the viewers with pieces of information related with the particular site or the person represented by the avatar.},

In particular, although fidelity has to be reduced to achieve better performance, there are certain limits as its reduction is totally perceived and negatively judged by the users in case of close observation. Furthermore, immersion of a user is one of the essential elements for efficiently experiencing the cultural aspects of the implemented virtual environment. In this paper, the various phases (requirements, design and implementation) for constructing a large scale virtual environment that highlights cultural heritage aspects are presented and the results are being evaluated by user tests. To enable the expansion of the virtual environment over an extended area, the integration of GIS mechanisms is also proposed to guide users and enhance their experience. Segmentation of the virtual environment is also proposed to make development manageable and improve performance.},

In this paper, we design and implement S-CORE, a scalable live VM migration scheme to dynamically reallocate VMs to servers while minimizing the overall communication footprint of active traffic flows. We evaluate S-CORE over diverse aggregate load and coordination policies. Our results show that it can achieve up to a 87\% communication cost reduction with a limited number of migration rounds, and can be easily accommodated within commodity hardware and hypervisor architectures.

abstract = {Efficient energy consumption is a challenging problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and closely related to extending network lifetime. The usual way of tackling this issue for topologies with fixed link weight and fixed sink location, has been shown to be severely affected by the energy hole problem. In this paper, the energy consumption problem is initially studied for WSNs with fixed sink assignment and it is analytically shown that energy consumption is minimized when the sink is assigned to the node that is the solution of a suitably formulated 1-median problem. This motivates the introduction of a dynamic environment where link weights change based on the energy level and the aggregate traffic load of the adjacent nodes. Then, the sink is adaptively allowed to move among neighbor nodes, according to a scalable sink migration strategy. Simulation results support the analytical claims demonstrating energy consumption reduction and an additional network lifetime increment when migration is employed in the dynamic environment.},

@inproceedings{oikonomou2012scalable,
abstract = {Wireless network nodes, recently powerful enough to assume sophisticated roles, have changed the angle of studying service communication costs in modern, typically large-scale and inherently dynamic, network environments. Communication cost minimization for using a certain service, is one of the challenging issues in these environments. Its ensuing optimization problem is not only difficult (NP-hard and requires global information), but also its centralized solution is non-scalable. The approach followed in this paper is a distributed one based on local information. First, a facility replication method ensuring overall communication cost reduction is proposed and analyzed. No additional overhead is introduced and the cost of hosting a new facility is also taken into account. Second, and aiming at reducing the communication cost for using a service, a policy that employs facility replication in conjunction with facility migration, is introduced. This policy is easy to implement since it relies on information locally available at the facility node, and its efficiency and limitations are also analyzed and discussed here. Simulation results are presented, supporting the analytical findings and demonstrating a significant overall cost reduction when the proposed policy is implemented.},

@inproceedings{oikonomou2012probabilistic,
abstract = {Information dissemination is a challenging problem in modern wireless networks in which unnecessary transmissions waste valuable resources. Approaches like traditional flooding, are not suitable in these typically large scale and inherently dynamic environments due to the large number of messages transmitted in the network. Probabilistic flooding has been proposed as a suitable alternative, capable of pruning unnecessary transmissions, while at the same time maintaining a large proportion of the network nodes covered. In this approach, the main analysis objective is on the particular threshold probability, for which the number of messages is minimized and almost all network nodes receive the initial piece of information. The analysis proposed in this paper results in a tractable analytical expression regarding coverage, in the form of a polynomial. Studying its roots: (i) results existing in the open literature are confirmed; and (ii) new and tighter boundaries for the threshold probability are derived. Simulation results confirm the analytical findings and in addition, they demonstrate that the obtained boundaries are suitable for achieving high coverage when probabilistic flooding is employed.},

Copyright owners use digital watermarking techniques so as to encrypt copyright information to the content. This information is represented by multiple watermarking keys used, amongst other reasons, for proof of ownership, unique identification and transaction management. Especially for transaction management the watermarking keys used are constantly changing following the content's route from user to user. The challenges for this research are a) the use of P2P technologies for efficient Digital Rights Management (DRM), b) to apply a robust watermarking algorithm to digital content which successfully embeds and detects multiple keys for each use case and c) to successfully maintain consistent the P2P system when watermarking keys are changing during content's transaction. This paper concludes that DRM and P2P can be quite complementary and not always contradictory.},

In this paper a simple two-state markov chain model is introduced attempting to give further insight on friendship and particularly how relations evolve as time passes, given that the corresponding graph is a time evolving one with interesting properties. Based on this model four distinct behavioral categories are identified and studied. As it is analytically shown, and subsequently confirmed by simulations, any network of nodes having the same friendship characteristics (e.g., a network consisted exclusively of nodes of one of the behavioral categories characterized in this work) eventually results to a network with properties similar to that of random graphs. Since modern society is characterized by power-law distributions, it is shown by simulations that there exists a certain mix of the previously mentioned categories such that the resulting graph has similar to power-law distribution.},

@article{oikonomou2010scalable,
abstract = {Service placement is a key problem in communication networks as it determines how efficiently the user service demands are supported. This problem has been traditionally approached through the formulation and resolution of large optimization problems requiring global knowledge and a continuous recalculation of the solution in case of network changes. Such approaches are not suitable for large-scale and dynamic network environments. In this paper, the problem of determining the optimal location of a service facility is revisited and addressed in a way that is both scalable and deals inherently with network dynamicity. In particular, service migration which enables service facilities to move between neighbor nodes towards more communication cost-effective positions, is based on local information. The migration policies proposed in this work are analytically shown to be capable of moving a service facility between neighbor nodes in a way that the cost of service provision is reduced and - under certain conditions - the service facility reaches the optimal (cost minimizing) location, and locks in there as long as the environment does not change; as network conditions change, the migration process is automatically resumed, thus, naturally responding to network dynamicity under certain conditions. The analytical findings of this work are also supported by simulation results that shed some additional light on the behavior and effectiveness of the proposed policies.},

@article{oikonomou2010probabilistic,
abstract = {Probabilistic flooding has been frequently considered as a suitable dissemination information approach for limiting the large message overhead associated with traditional (full) flooding approaches that are used to disseminate globally information in unstructured peer-to-peer and other networks. A key challenge in using probabilistic flooding is the determination of the forwarding probability so that global network outreach is achieved while keeping the message overhead as low as possible. In this paper, by showing that a probabilistic flooding network, generated by applying probabilistic flooding to a connected random graph network, can be (asymptotically) bounded'' by properly parameterized random graph networks and by invoking random graph theory results, asymptotic values of the forwarding probability are derived guaranteeing (probabilistically) successful coverage, while significantly reducing the message overhead with respect to traditional flooding. Asymptotic expressions with respect to the average number of messages and the average time required to complete network coverage are also derived, illustrating the benefits of the properly parameterized probabilistic flooding scheme. Simulation results support the claims and expectations of the analytical results and reveal certain aspects of probabilistic flooding not covered by the analysis.},

@article{tzevelekas2010random,
abstract = {The information dissemination problem in large-scale networking environments like wireless sensor networks and ad hoc networks is studied here considering random geometric graphs and random walk based approaches. A new type of random walk based agent is proposed in this paper and an analytical expression with respect to coverage (i.e., the proportion of the network nodes visited by the random walk agent) as a function of the number of the agent movements is derived. It is observed that the cover time of many of already existing random walk based variants is large in random geometric graphs of low degree (as it is commonly the case is wireless environments). As this inefficiency is attributed (as discussed in the paper) to the inability of existing random walk based solutions to move away from already likely covered areas, a mechanism for directional movement (i.e., jumping) of the random walk based agent is proposed and studied, that allows the agent to jump to different network areas, most likely not covered yet. The proposed mechanism (Jumping Random Walk) is studied analytically and via simulations and the parameters (of the network topology and the mechanism) under which the proposed scheme outperforms existing random walk based variations are determined.},

In this paper, the multiple random walkers mechanism is studied and analyzed under a different and novel perspective that allows for further understanding of network coverage when employing multiple random walkers in a network. Given that under this mechanism the number of movements is significantly increased (proportional to the number of random walkers) -- and sometimes not as effective as expected due to frequent revisits that do not improve coverage as shown in this paper -- a replication mechanism is introduced that is capable of reducing the number of movements by reducing initial revisits. Simulation results considering geometric random graph topologies -- which are suitable for modeling mobile environments -- are also presented supporting the analytical findings and shedding more light on various aspects of both the aforementioned mechanisms.},

[Bibtex]
@inproceedings{magkos2010distributed,
abstract = {In this paper we deal with security and historical privacy in Location Based Service (LBS) applications where users submit accurate location samples to an LBS provider. Specifically we propose a distributed scheme that establishes access control while protecting the privacy of a user in both sporadic and continuous LBS queries. Our solution employs a hybrid network architecture where LBS users: (a) are able to communicate with an LBS provider through a network (e.g., cellular) operator, and (b) they are also able to create wireless ad-hoc networks with other peers in order to obtain privacy against an adversary that performs traffic analysis. Our threat model considers the network operator, the LBS provider and other peers, as potential privacy adversaries. For historical privacy we adopt the generic approach of using multiple pseudonyms that are changed frequently. In order to establish untraceability against traffic analysis attacks, a message is not sent directly to the cellular operator, but it is distributed among mobile neighbors who act like mixes and re-encrypt a message before sending it to the LBS provider via the cellular operator. As an extension, we also discuss how to aggregate independent data from different mobile peers before sending them to the LBS provider. This approach may be suitable in applications where aggregate location data are useful (e.g., traffic monitoring and control)},

None of the existing P2P overlays for sensornets provide Energy-Level Application and Services''. On this purpose and based on the efficient P2P method presented in [16], we design a novel P2P overlay for Energy Level discovery in a sensornet, the so-called ELDT (Energy Level Distributed Tree). Sensor nodes are mapped to peers based on their energy level. As the energy levels change, the sensor nodes would have to move from one peer to another and this oparation is the most crucial for the efficient scalability of the proposed system. Similarly, as the energy level of a sensor node becomes extremelly low, that node may want to forward it's task to another node with the desired energy level. The adaptation of the P2P index presented in [16] quarantees the best-known query performance of the above operation. We experimentally verify this performance via an appropriate simulator we have designed for this purpose.},

@inproceedings{oikonomou2009scalable,
abstract = {In peer-to-peer (P2P) network system design a main focus is on efficient service discovery schemes, most frequently assuming permanent (or long-term stationary) positions for service facilities, neglecting communication costs due to the actual locations of the facilities. Since the problem of communication cost minimization is a large optimization problem (NP-hard) and requires global information (i.e., not scalable), in this paper the service migration philosophy is adopted which permits service facility movements and yields smaller communication cost in a scalable manner (i.e., based on local information). Service migration is incorporated in the Chord P2P system, imposing certain changes (e.g., the extension of the service discovery scheme of Chord) and introducing an extra system overhead (i.e., update messages) for the efficient operation of the (enhanced) system. As it is demonstrated here using simulation results, the communication cost corresponding to the extra system overhead is significantly small and more than enough compensated for by the communication cost reduction due to the introduction of service migration. As long as the network remains unchanged, the former communication cost is paid only once while the latter communication cost reduction is permanent.},

@inproceedings{kogias2009study,
abstract = {Flooding is well known to be the ldquofastestrdquo way to propagate information throughout a network (achieve 100\% coverage), at the expense of typically unacceptably large message-forwarding overhead; when the overhead is controlled or limited, then the achieved coverage is reduced. A Single Random Walker (SRW) is another popular mechanism for information dissemination that is very ldquoslowrdquo compared to flooding but utilizes less overhead and can potentially achieve better coverage than flooding. The latter may be attributed to the better ldquostretchingrdquo properties (ability to visit further away network regions) of the SRW and is particularly observed if coverage is defined as the set of network nodes which are at most L hops away from a network node which received the information (notion of L-coverage, L ges 0). Randomly Replicated Random Walkers (RRRWs) are considered in this paper as a broad class of information dissemination mechanisms whose members are defined by a given value of the (first) replication probability; clearly a SWR corresponds to the RRRWs with zero (first) replication probability, while for values of the (first) replication probability close to one a large number of information disseminating agents (RWs) are generated resembling the operation of flooding. By considering various performance metrics (such as the achieved coverage for a given message-forwarding budget and the time required to spend the available message-forwarding budget), and by considering various network topologies (such as Random Geometric, Erdos-Renyi and Clustered environments), we show that the class of RRRWs can ldquofillrdquo the performance space, between the performance induced by flooding and the SRW, thus offering a richer set of information dissemination strategies that can better match desirable performance constraints or objectives.},

abstract = {Service placement has typically been studied through the formulation and solution of a 1-median problem that is known to be complex and require global information. As such approaches are clearly not scalable in dynamic and large-scale environments, a more reasonable approach to service placement for large, ad hoc and autonomic environments would be through service migration. Such a migration policy has recently been proposed for tree topologies. The focus of the present paper is to devise effective service migration policies for general topologies with equal weight links. The proposed strategy - that incorporates a 2-phase polling mechanism of local scope and, consequently, induces in general a certain overhead - is shown to out-perform the previous one (i.e., getting closer to the optimal placement) for such general topologies. Finally, a hybrid migration policy (combining the present and the past ones) is considered and shown through simulations to be capable of reducing significantly the overhead effects of the afore-mentioned polling mechanism.},

The intrinsic capability of a single random walker of stretching the information dissemination over widely spread network areas (compared to flooding), is explored and exploited in this paper, along with the introduction of random walkers which can replicate themselves. Two replication policies are also introduced in this paper: the Topology Independent Policy that creates replicas according to an exponentially decreasing probability (creating more replicas at the beginning of the advertising process), and the Topology Dependent Policy in which replication decisions are based on some locally available topological information (aiming at creating replicas at the dense network areas). The discussion and the results in this paper reveal intrinsic comparative properties of flooding and the single random walker, as well as the advantages that the random walker replication can bring in improving the overhead, speed and coverage of the advertising process.},

The network development builds on advanced features of wireless mesh networks, like multi-channel and multi-radio operation, connectivity to a fixed network infrastructure through multiple links and general purpose applications support, which overcome many of the limitations that are currently imposed by wireless ad-hoc networks. The proposed network is designed to provide apart from broadband Internet access a number of sophisticated services to the citizens, tourists and business visitors of the island. To assure viability and expansion for the CorfuNet initiative, the present study discusses scenarios on two alternative business models, namely the collaborative and the single provider models, differentiated on the basis of the network's owner.},

[Bibtex]
@inproceedings{laoutaris2007distributed,
abstract = {The effectiveness of service provisioning in large-scale networks is highly dependent on the number and location of service facilities deployed at various hosts. The classical, centralized approach to determining the latter would amount to formulating and solving the uncapacitated k-median (UKM) problem (if the requested number of facilities is fixed), or the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem (if the number of facilities is also to be optimized). Clearly, such centralized approaches require knowledge of global topological and demand information, and thus do not scale and are not practical for large networks. The key question posed and answered in this paper is the following: How can we determine in a distributed and scalable manner the number and location of service facilities?'' We propose an innovative approach in which topology and demand information is limited to neighborhoods, or balls of small radius around selected facilities, whereas demand information is captured implicitly for the remaining (remote) clients outside these neighborhoods, by mapping them to clients on the edge of the neighborhood; the ball radius regulates the trade-off between scalability and performance. We develop a scalable, distributed approach that answers our key question through an iterative re-optimization of the location and the number of facilities within such balls. We show that even for small values of the radius (1 or 2), our distributed approach achieves performance under various synthetic and real Internet topologies that is comparable to that of optimal, centralized approaches requiring full topology and demand information.},

abstract = {Probabilistic flooding (parameterized by a forwarding probability) has frequently been considered in the past, as a means of limiting the large message overhead associated with traditional (full) flooding approaches that are used to disseminate globally information in unstructured peer-to-peer and other networks. A key challenge in using probabilistic flooding is the determination of the forwarding probability so that global network outreach is achieved while keeping the message overhead as low as possible. By showing that a probabilistic flooding network generated by applying probabilistic flooding to a connected random graph network can be bounded by properly parameterized random graph networks and invoking random graph theory results, bounds on the value of the forwarding probability are derived guaranteeing global network outreach with high probability, while significantly reducing the message overhead. Bounds on the average number of messages - as well as asymptotic expressions - and on the average time required to complete network outreach are also derived, illustrating the benefits of the properly parameterized probabilistic flooding scheme.},

[Bibtex]
@article{oikonomou2007adaptive,
abstract = {Sensor networks require a simple and efficient medium access control policy achieving high system throughput with no or limited control overhead in order to increase the network lifetime by minimizing the energy consumed during transmission attempts. Time-spread multiple-access (TSMA) policies that have been proposed for ad hoc network environments, can also be employed in sensor networks, since no control overhead is introduced. However, they do not take advantage of any cross-layer information in order to exploit the idiosyncrasies of the particular sensor network environment such as the presence of typically static nodes and a common destination for the forwarded data. An adaptive probabilistic TSMA-based policy, that is proposed and analyzed in this paper, exploits these idiosyncrasies and achieves higher system throughput than the existing TSMA-based policies without any need for extra control overhead. As it is analytically shown in this paper, the proposed policy always outperforms the existing TSMA-based policies, if certain parameter values are properly set; the analysis also provides for these proper values. It is also shown that the proposed policy is characterized by a certain convergence period and that high system throughput is achieved for long convergence periods. The claims and expectations of the provided analysis are supported by simulation results presented in this paper.},

@inproceedings{oikonomou2006scalable,
abstract = {Scalable service placement is a challenging problem in dynamic environments such as ad hoc or autonomic networks. Existing approaches typically consider static and reduced size networking environments and try to determine the optimal service position (the node at which some cost is minimized) by solving the 1- median problem. Since such approaches are complex and are based on global information knowledge, they are non- scalable and cannot cope with dynamic environments. A more reasonable approach to service placement for large, ad hoc and autonomic environments would be through service migration. That is, instead of solving continuously a large optimization problem requiring global information, consider policies for moving the service position (one hop/node at a time) based on local information, towards more effective positions. Developing service migration policies with good properties is a major challenge, since such policies may be sub-optimal (that is, they never converge to the optimal position), follow a non-monotonically cost decreasing path to the optimal position, etc.
In this paper, the aforementioned issues are discussed and a simple service migration policy is proposed for undirected tree topologies. For this case it is shown analytically that the information available at the current service node only is sufficient for determining the direction towards nodes with monotonically decreasing service provision costs. Consequently, the proposed policy moves the service continuously towards the optimal position in every step and reaches the optimal position through a shortest path migration trajectory. As the optimal position may change in a dynamic environment, the proposed policy adapts the service migration path continuously towards the currently optimal position. Although some of the main results are also applicable to general network topologies, future work will focus on the general network topology by borrowing ideas from the current work.},

@article{vaios2006analysis,
abstract = {The coordinated coexistence of WLANs and WPANs in a dual-mode network is a recently introduced idea and is expected to increase the overall system performance by allowing for the efficient cooperation of both WLANs and WPANs. Topology control (e.g., power control, smart antennas, and different frequency channels) needs to be employed to allow for the simultaneous operation of both modes. In this paper, different frequency channels that allow for high data rates within a small transmission range are considered in order to create multiple WPAN environments inside a WLAN cell. The latter environment requires the support of a second mode of operation which introduces additional overhead that may degrade the overall system performance. Certain conditions, under which system performance improvement is achievable, are established here. In particular, an analytical mobility model for WPAN environments is proposed and employed in the analytical studies. It is shown that the system may be effective when node mobility is low and the traffic load among nodes is high. The corresponding upper and lower bounds on mobility and traffic are also analytically derived. Simulation results for a variety of scenarios support the claims and expectations of the aforementioned analysis and demonstrate that performance improvement is possible when WLANs and WPANs coexist and cooperate in a network.},

@article{oikonomou2006energy,
abstract = {Since the energy budget of mobile nodes is limited, the performance of a networking protocol for such users should be evaluated in terms of its energy efficiency, in addition to the more traditional metrics such as throughput. In this paper, two topology-unaware MAC protocols---in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology---are considered and their energy consumption is derived. It turns out that the per frame power consumption is lower for the less throughput-efficient protocol, suggesting that energy savings are achieved at the expense of throughput. A finer energy consumption study is carried out in the sequel, focusing on the amount of energy consumed to successfully transmit a certain number of packets, or equivalently, on the per successful transmission power consumption. It is shown that the more throughput-efficient protocol consumes less energy per successful transmission under certain conditions (which are derived), due to the lower number of transmission attempts before a data packet is successfully transmitted. The same energy-efficiency relation is observed under certain conditions (which are derived) when data packets are delay constrained and, thus, may become obsolete if not transmitted successfully within a specific time interval. The conditions under which the per successful transmission power consumption is minimized for delay-constrained packets, are also established in this work and it is observed that when the system throughput is maximized, the power consumed is close to the minimum. Simulation results support the claims and the expectations of the aforementioned analysis.},

Therefore, estimations of the network traffic load are not possible anymore. Here, an adaptive probabilistic policy for medium access control in ad hoc networks, inspired by the Aloha paradigm, is proposed and analyzed. Simulation results show that this policy is capable of achieving higher system throughput when compared to other policies that have been proposed for ad hoc networks.

Topology-unaware time-division multiple-access-based schemes, suitable for ad hoc networks, that guarantee a minimum throughput, have already been proposed. These schemes consider a deterministic policy for the utilization of the assigned scheduling time slots that never utilizes nonassigned slots although in such slots collision-free transmissions are possible even under heavy traffic conditions. A simple probabilistic policy, capable of utilizing the nonassigned slots according to an access probability, fixed for all users in the network, is introduced and analyzed here. The conditions under which the system throughput under the probabilistic policy is higher than that under the deterministic policy are derived analytically. Further analysis of the system throughput is shown to be difficult or impossible for the general case and certain approximations have been considered whose accuracy is also investigated. The approximate analysis determines the value for the access probability that maximizes the system throughput, as well as simplified lower and upper bounds that depend only on a topology density metric. Simulation results demonstrate the comparative advantage of the probabilistic policy over the deterministic policy and show that the approximate analysis successfully determines the range of values for the access probability for which the system throughput under the probabilistic policy is not only higher than that under the deterministic policy, but it is also close to the maximum.},

A dual mode of operation has been introduced in the traditional 5 GHz HiperLAN/2 to allow data off-loading by using resources of an ad-hoc network created at 60 GHz (the dual mode concept was introduced by the IST BroadWay project, IST-2001-32686). The off-loading is possible using CANA but certain changes in the standard HiperLAN/2 protocol stack are required and certain algorithms need to be incorporated. In this paper, the new enhanced protocol stack of HiperLAN/2 that supports CANA is presented as well as key algorithms that need to be developed and whose performance is crucial for the efficient utilization of the system resources. These algorithms can also be implemented for any other WLAN in order to support a second mode of operation. Simulations shed light into the trade-offs induced by the dual mode of operation and the way the network resources may efficiently be utilized under certain conditions.},

abstract = {Ad-hoc networks, where a node may enter, leave or move inside the network without any need for prior configuration, make the design of a suitable network architecture challenging. We consider as network architecture'' the behavioral model describing with logical consistency the rules determining the physical (or for other cases the network) connectivity. A network architecture is considered to be suitable if the performance metrics reveal such a network behavior or system performance that certain applications can be supported. While most of the research work focuses upon the steady state performance metrics, the transient performance metrics have not received the deserved attention. The primary focus of this work is on the transient behavior of an enhanced HiperLAN/2-based network that employs a dual mode of operation: the standard mode at 5 GHz and a second ad-hoc mode at 60 GHz. The centralized ad-hoc network architecture (CANA) describes the rules concerning the physical connectivity for this dual mode of operation. The values of the transient performance metrics are calculated here, and a qualitative evaluation process reveals the overhead required for the network's efficient operation.},

abstract = {The design of an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) is challenging in ad-hoc networks where users can enter, leave or move inside the network without any need for prior configuration. The existing topology-unaware TDMA-based schemes are capable of providing a minimum guaranteed throughput by considering a deterministic policy for the utilization of the assigned scheduling time slots. In an earlier work, a probabilistic policy that utilizes the non-assigned slots according to an access probability, common for all nodes in the network, was proposed. The achievable throughput for a specific transmission under this policy was analyzed. In this work, the system throughput is studied and the conditions under which the system throughput under the probabilistic policy is higher than that under the deterministic policy are established. In addition, the value for the access probability that maximizes the system throughput is determined analytically, as well as simplified lower and upper bounds that depend only on a topology density metric. Since the analysis of the system throughput is shown to be difficult or impossible in the general case an approximation is introduced whose accuracy is investigated. Simulation results show that the approximate analysis successfully determines the range of values for the access probability for which the system throughput under the probabilistic policy is not only higher than that under the deterministic, but it is also close to the maximum.},

Chlamtac and Farago have proposed a topology unaware TDMA-based scheme, suitable for ad-hoc networks, while Ju and Li have proposed an enhanced version that maximizes the minimum guaranteed throughput. Both approaches consider a deterministic policy for the utilization of the assigned scheduling time slots. In this work it is shown that this deterministic policy fails to utilize non-assigned slots that would result in collision-free transmissions even under heavy traffic conditions. A simple probabilistic policy is proposed, capable of utilizing the non-assigned slots according to an access probability, fixed for all users in the network. An analytical study establishes the conditions under which the probability of success for a specific transmission under the probabilistic policy, is higher than that under the deterministic. The dependence of both policies on the topology density is shown and a simple topology density metric is introduced as well. Simulation results show that there exists a suitable range of values for the access probability for which the probabilistic policy outperforms the deterministic and show how this range is affected by the variations of the topology density.},

In this system architecture, several ad-hoc specific functionalities are included, such as neighborhood discovery, clustering and routing. Among them, switching between different modes of operation has a large impact on the achievable performance of CANA.},

DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a currently evolving approach to providing QoS over IP networks. Therefore, DiffServ QoS parameters of the IP layer need to be mapped to the H/2 specific QoS parameters. The DLC layer of H/2 has special features that can be used to support QoS. An effective mapping between DiffServ QoS and H/2 parameters is expected to increase the performance of the system while maintaining the QoS constraints. Consequently, a mechanism is needed in order to allow each application to request and reserve certain resources over H/2. So far there is no standard mechanism and the main focus of this paper is to propose one.},
