A Platform for Large-Scale Network Performance Analysis

by David Bauer, Garrett Yaun, Chris Carothers, Murat Yuksel, Shivkumar Kalyanaraman
"... Abstract — Performance analysis techniques are fundamental to aid the process of large-scale protocol design and network operations. There has been a tremendous explosion in the variety of tools and platforms available (eg: ns-2, SSFNet, Click Router toolkit, Emulab, Planetlab). However, we still lo ..."

The Large-Scale Organization of Metabolic Networks

by H. Jeong, B. Tombor, R. Albert, Z. N. Oltvai, A.-L. Barabási , 2000
"... In a cell or microorganism the processes that generate mass, energy, information transfer, and cell fate specification are seamlessly integrated through a complex network of various cellular constituents and reactions. However, despite the key role these networks play in sustaining various cellular ..."

functions, their large-scale structure is essentially unknown. Here we present the first systematic comparative mathematical analysis of the metabolic networks of 43 organisms representing all three domains of life. We show that, despite significant variances in their individual constituents and pathways

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution

by Christos Gkantsidis, Pablo Rodriguez Rodriguez
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."

Pastry: Scalable, decentralized object location and routing for large-scale peer-to-peer systems

by Antony Rowstron , Peter Druschel - IN PROC. OF THE 18TH IFIP/ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS PLATFORMS, , 2001
"... This paper presents the design and evaluation of Pastry, a scalable, distributed object location and routing substrate for wide-area peer-to-peer applications. Pastry performs application-level routing and object location in a potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Intern ..."

Storage management and caching in PAST, a large-scale, persistent peer-to-peer storage utility

by Antony Rowstron, Peter Druschel , 2001
"... This paper presents and evaluates the storage management and caching in PAST, a large-scale peer-to-peer persistent storage utility. PAST is based on a self-organizing, Internetbased overlay network of storage nodes that cooperatively route file queries, store multiple replicas of files, and cache a ..."

Range-Free Localization Schemes for Large Scale Sensor Networks

by Tian He, Chengdu Huang, Brain M. Blum, John A. Stankovic, Tarek Abdelzaher , 2003
"... Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for a multitude of location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point-to-point distance estimates. Because coarse accura ..."

Measurement and Analysis of Online Social Networks

by Alan Mislove, Massimiliano Marcon, Krishna P. Gummadi, Peter Druschel, Bobby Bhattacharjee - In Proceedings of the 5th ACM/USENIX Internet Measurement Conference (IMC’07 , 2007
"... Online social networking sites like Orkut, YouTube, and Flickr are among the most popular sites on the Internet. Users of these sites form a social network, which provides a powerful means of sharing, organizing, and finding content and contacts. The popularity of these sites provides an opportunity ..."

an opportunity to study the characteristics of online social network graphs at large scale. Understanding these graphs is important, both to improve current systems and to design new applications of online social networks. This paper presents a large-scale measurement study and analysis of the structure

Modeling and performance analysis of bittorrentlike peer-to-peer networks

by Dongyu Qiu, R. Srikant - In SIGCOMM , 2004
"... In this paper, we develop simple models to study the performance of BitTorrent, a second generation peerto-peer (P2P) application. We first present a simple fluid model and study the scalability, performance and efficiency of such a file-sharing mechanism. We then consider the built-in incentive mec ..."

An analysis of a large scale habitat monitoring application

by Robert Szewczyk, Alan Mainwaring, Joseph Polastre, John Anderson, David Culler - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ACM CONFERENCE ON EMBEDDED NETWORKED SENSOR SYSTEMS (SENSYS , 2004
"... Habitat and environmental monitoring is a driving application for wireless sensor networks. We present an analysis of data from a second generation sensor networks deployed during the summer and autumn of 2003. During a 4 month deployment, these networks, consisting of 150 devices, produced unique d ..."
