SNNs have achieved great attention in recent years as they contain neurons more like those in the brain and use spikes to encode and transmit information efficiently among neurons with lower energy consumption. A Retina-LGN-V1 structure-like spiking ...

In conventional real-time systems analysis, each system parameter is specified by a single estimate, which must pessimistically cover the worst case. Mixed-criticality (MC) design has been proposed to mitigate such pessimism by providing a single system ...

The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) protocol is being adopted for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as the primary source of information for emerging multi-UAV collision avoidance algorithms. The lack of security features ...

This paper presents a secure framework for dispatching and completing tasks in a network of weak embedded devices, such as sensors. The framework allows a device to dispatch tasks to other remote devices so that the remote devices can utilise their idle ...

With recognizing power as a first-class citizen in the HPC community and the growth of software running on battery-driven devices, the need to evaluate software design based on the combined effects of energy and performance has become eminent. Despite ...

Intel's Xeon Phi coprocessor has successfully proved its capability by being used in Tianhe-2 and Stampede, two of the top ten most powerful supercomputers today. It is almost certain that the popularity of Xeon Phi in heterogeneous computing will grow ...

Cognitive radios are currently presented as the solution to the ever-increasing spectrum shortage problem. However, their increased capabilities over traditional radios introduce a new dimension of security threats. Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) has ...

This paper presents a secure framework for dispatching and completing tasks in a network of weak embedded devices, such as sensors. The framework allows a device to dispatch tasks to other remote devices while ensuring that the secure data of the ...

Systems employing mobile devices (e.g., sensors, smart phones, robots) are emerging with growing capabilities in performing a wide variety of tasks. Due to their abundance and wide deployments, they are posed to play a dominant role in providing a rich ...

Intrusion monitoring is an indispensable security measure for multi-channel wireless mesh networks. This paper studies how to use mesh routers to monitor a network while supporting regular traffic. This paper shows that the traffic aware monitoring (TRAM)...

Since sensors do not have a sophisticated hardware architecture or an operating system to manage code for safety, attacks injecting code to exploit memory-related vulnerabilities can present threats to sensor applications. In a sensor's simple memory ...

In this paper, we propose several novel fast converging mobility control protocols to achieve optimal deployment for streaming data flows in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We also identify a unique sink privacy issue in mobility control protocols and ...

Since sensor applications are implemented in embedded computer systems, cyber attacks that compromise regular computer systems via exploiting memory-related vulnerabilities present similar threats to sensor networks. However, the paper shows that memory ...

In wireless networks, devices can be equipped with multiple interfaces to utilize multiple channels and increase the aggregated network throughput. Various channel assignment protocols have been developed to better utilize multiple channels and ...

As sensors in a network are mostly homogeneous in software and hardware, a captured sensor can easily expose its code and data to attackers and further threaten the whole network. To increase the survivability of a sensor network, code diversification ...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International ICST Workshop, SEWCN 2009, held in Athens, Greece, in September 2009. The workshop emphasizes on new ideas for secure architectures and protocols to enhance the emerging wireless systems. ...

As the technology of mobile sensors advances, mobilitycontrol becomes a viable option that can be utilized to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A mobility control protocol re-deploys mobile sensors to optimal positions to ...

Although multi-channel wireless protocols are becoming predominant, security mechanisms of channel assignment are far from sufficient to protect the channel usage. In this paper, we discuss radio jamming attacks, ripple effect attacks and false ...

Wireless broadcast is an effective approach for disseminating data to a number of users. To provide secure access to data in wireless broadcast services, symmetric-key-based encryption is used to ensure that only users who own the valid keys can decrypt ...

Since sensors do not have a sophisticated hardware architecture or an operating system to manage code for safety, attacks injecting code to exploit memory-related vulnerabilities can present threats to sensor applications. In a sensor's simple memory ...
