Personal computing ?
• PC processors are only 2% of all processors
• Where do the rest of the processors go? Automotive industry, e.g., new car has dozens of microprocessors Communications, e.g., cell-phones Consumer electronics, e.g., microwaves, washing machines Industrial equipment, e.g., factory floor robots

Ubiquitous computing !
• Instead of us interacting with the computers in the virtual world, the computers should interact with us in our physical world
• Technology is now available via MEMS, CMOS, CMOS radios• Real-world deployments have already started:
Environmental monitoring Precision agriculture Asset management Military surveillance

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs)A sensor node (mote)
8K RAM, 4Mhz processor magnetism, heat, sound, vibration, infrared wireless (radio broadcast) communication up to 100 feet costs ~$10 (right now costs ~$100)

Challenges in WSN
• Scalability Thousands of nodes collaborate; for achieving scalability distributed &
local algorithms are needed Distributed algorithms are notoriously difficult to design
• Fault-tolerance Wireless communication is unreliable due to collisions Consensus is impossible to achieve
Nodes fail due to adverse environmental conditions and software bugs Maintenance of infrastructures are costly and difficult

1. MAC layers for robust communication
• Coordinated attack problem Two armies are waiting to attack a city They need to attack together to win
Each army coordinates with a messenger Messenger may be captured by the city
• Can generals reach agreement? Agreement is impossible in the presence of unreliable channel
• Wireless communication is unreliable due to collisions Hidden node problem

Receiver-side collision detection (RCDRCD)
RCD circumvents the impossibility result RCD enables coping with undetectable message loss
• RCD is easily implementable in WSNs Receiver side monitoring and notification of collisionsReceiver side monitoring and notification of collisions
No info wrt # of lost messages or identities of senders Classification of RCDsClassification of RCDs
Completeness: Ability to detect collisions Accuracy: Ability to avoid false positives
• Synchronized rounds to convey negative feedbackSynchronized rounds to convey negative feedback Collisions of negative feedback imply at least one negative feedback
10
Vote-VetoVote-Veto algorithm
• Two phases: vote and veto Vote phase:
Every active node sends out its vote If a node hears no collision, the node updates its vote to min of received votes If a node hears collision or different votes, it decides to veto
Veto phase: If no veto messages are received or collisions detected, then a node can decide, else
nodes continue to next round Intuition: By having a dedicated veto phase, effects of collision is detectable
• RobcastRobcast and BEMABEMA MAC protocols for robust broadcast They eliminate the hidden terminal problem and improve throughput

2. Geometric infrastructures for resilient WSN servicesFor scalability, local operations are needed over global structures
By exploiting the geometry of WSNs, we can design efficient, minimal, and resilient infrastructures
• Querying structures: GlanceGlance, DQTDQT, PeeR-treePeeR-tree O(d) time for querying, where d is the distance to the nearest answer Graceful resilience to the face node failures via simplicity of design
• Tracking structures: StalkStalk, TrailTrail O(d) time for querying O(m*logm) for update, where m is the distance the evader moved Local self-healing via containment wavecontainment wave idea & stretch-factor stretch-factor idea

Geometric infrastructures for mobile WSN
Mobility improves coverage and, hence, resilience
• Mobile base-station for efficient data aggregation– Relocating the base-station in
response to varying data rates
• Deployment and relocation of mobile WSN– Sensor nodes relocate to
provide dynamic coverage by following the interest gradient
– Even though neighbors can change for each node, the network should stay connected
– What are local rules to maintain such a mobile WSN ?

3. Programming abstractions for robust computingTransactTransact: A transactional framework for programming WSANs• Effectively managing concurrent execution is a big challenge
Concurrency needs to be tamed to prevent unintentional nondeterministic executions
Concurrency needs to be boosted for achieving timeliness
• Transactional, optimistic concurrency control framework enables understanding of a system execution as a single thread of control, while permitting the deployment of actual execution over multiple threads
distributed on several nodes By exploiting the properties of wireless broadcast communication, we
provide a distributed and local conflict detection and serializability

5. Theory of self-stabilization
• Self-stabilization is the ability of a system to recover within bounded steps from arbitrary states to states from where the system exhibits desired behavior
• Arbitrary state corruption provides a clean abstraction of how many systems are perturbed by their diverse environments
Self-stabilization provides a viable method to deal with state corruption Case-by-case analysis of faults and recovery is shunned in favor of a
uniform mechanism
• Self-stabilizing systems do not need any initialization Self-configuring!

5. Theory of self-stabilization…
legitimate states from where safety and livenessare satisfied
illegitimate states reached possiblydue to faults
•Closure: Set of legitimate states is closed under system execution•Convergence: Starting from any system state, every system computation eventually reaches a legitimate state

• Graybox self-stabilizationGraybox self-stabilization Improves over the whitebox and blackbox approaches tried so far
• Compositional reasoning for self-stabilizationCompositional reasoning for self-stabilization Modular design and verification of self-stabilization
• Syntax-based design of self-stabilization Use programming patterns to achieve self-stabilization
• Probabilistic & model-based verification of self-stabilization Improves over strictly deterministic design and verification of self-stabilization
