	abstract = {Grid computing and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are emerging as new paradigms for managing large scale distributed resources across wide area networks. While grid computing focuses on managing heterogeneous resources and relies on centralized managers for resource and data discovery, P2P systems target scalable, decentralized methods for publishing and searching for data. In large distributed systems, a centralized resource manager is a potential performance bottleneck and decentralization can help avoid this bottleneck, as is done in P2P systems. However, the query functionality provided by most existing P2P systems is very rudimentary, and is not directly applicable to grid resource management. In this paper, we propose a fully decentralized multidimensional indexing structure, called DiST, that operates in a fully distributed environment with no centralized control. In DiST, each data server only acquires information about data on other servers from executing and routing queries. We describe the DiST algorithms for maintaining the decentralized network of data servers, including adding and deleting servers, the query routing algorithm, and failure recovery algorithms. We also evaluate the performance of the decentralized scheme against a more structured hierarchical indexing scheme that we have previously shown to perform well in distributed grid environments},

	abstract = {Power management is a very important aspect of ad-hoc networks. It directly impacts the network throughput among other network metrics. On the other hand, transmission power management may result in disconnected networks and increased level of collisions. In this paper, we introduce a transmission power control based on stochastic learning automata (SLA) to modify the transmission power. Based on the level of successful transmissions and the level of packet retransmissions, the SLA will modify the transmission power level either by increasing it or decreasing it. The probabilistic nature of SLA makes it a useful choice for ad-hoc networks. Using the network simulator NS, we show that using SLA for transmission power will result in an increased system bandwidth and a decrease in the collision levels.},

	abstract = {Active networking adds programmability to the elements of the network, most aggressively by using programmable packets, or capsules. ANTS [22, 21] and PLANet [10, 8] are the most mature examples of capsule-based systems, both having been publicly available for several years. This paper presents our experience with these systems and the lessons they hold for the future of capsule-based active networking. The paper focuses on four key issues: flexibility, performance, security, and usability. We consider how ANTS and PLANet address these issues, noting that despite substantial surface differences, both systems identify similar key problems and use closely related solutions. Based on our experience with these systems we conclude that capsule-based systems can achieve useful levels of flexibility, performance, and usability. Many aspects of security can also be adequately addressed, but some important problems related to denial of service remain as open problems},

	abstract = {Proposals for programmable network infrastructures, such as active networks and open signaling, provide programmers with access to network resources and data structures. The motivation for providing these interfaces is accelerated introduction of new services, but exposure of the interfaces introduces many new security risks. We describe some of the security issues raised by active networks. We then describe our secure active network environment (SANE) architecture. SANE was designed as a security infrastructure for active networks, and was implemented in the SwitchWare architecture. SANE restricts the actions that loaded modules can perform by restricting the resources that can be named; this is further extended to remote invocation by means of cryptographic credentials. SANE can be extended to support restricted control of quality of service in a programmable network element. The Piglet lightweight device kernel provides a {\textquotedblleft}virtual clock{\textquotedblright} type of scheduling discipline for network traffic, and exports several tuning knobs with which the clock can be adjusted. The ALIEN active loader provides safe access to these knobs to modules that operate on the network element. Thus, the proposed SQoSH architecture is able to provide safe, secure access to network resources, while allowing these resources to be managed by end users needing customized networking services. A desirable consequence of SQoSH{\textquoteright}s integration of access control and resource control is that a large class of denial-of-service attacks, unaddressed solely with access control and cryptographic protocols, can now be prevented},
