Faloutsos: Vision for the Center The vision of One - Network Everywhere, anytime high QoS connectivity Massively Scalable Developing a flexible reconfigurable FGPA-based platform for research and pioneer development Security and Privacy Detecting and alerting of abnormal net behavior Sensor security Privacy: a trade-off with security

Research Theme 1: (long term) Reconfigurable FPGA-based networking Develop our own platform: FPGA-based sensors Develop a suit of tools for rapid prototyping Develop a suit of network, fusion protocols

Research Theme 2: Security through data mining of network data Develop data-mining tools customized to wireline and wireless network needs Develop tools and framework to detect normal and abnormal behavior Measure and model normal behavior Detect abnormal behavior Develop mechanisms against errors and attacks

Project 1: (Short term) Massively Scalable Plug-n-play networks How can we make networks scale Current routing approaches do not scale Explore the dynamic address routing Existing idea DART Exploit if for plug-n-play in sensor nets Develop theoretical framework Experiment with implementation + testbed

Project 2: Make Adhoc bandwidth scale Problem: multi-hop paths have tiny bandwidth Approach: Attempt to increase the bandwidth by MIMO/directed antennas Use of multiple frequencies (split spectrum) Use hybrid/heterogeneous approaches: High power antennas plus small power elements Cellular + ad hoc combination For each approach: Examine feasibility, develop protocols, assess benefit Use simulations and theoretical bounds
