TITLE: Scalable Self-Healing for Wireless Sensor Networks SPEAKER: Murat Demirbas, SUNY Buffalo http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~demirbas WHEN: Thursday, Sep 14, 1:30pm WHERE: Cactus venue (off of the NCSA lobby) http://agschedule.ncsa.uiuc.edu/meetingdetails.asp?MID=17252 ABSTRACT: Self-healing is the ability of a system to recover from faults and restore itself to normal operation without human intervention. Since wireless sensor networks are inherently fault-prone, scalable self-healing is crucial for enabling the deployment of large-scale sensor network applications. Prof. Demirbas' work on "local-healing" addresses the scalability of the cost-overhead of self-healing: By confining the contamination of the network due to faults, this approach achieves healing within work and time proportional to the perturbation size instead of the network size. In this talk, he will present samplers from his work on local healing in the context of clustering and tracking problems that appear in large-scale wireless sensor network deployments such as the "Line In The Sand" project. BIO: Murat Demirbas received his Master's and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University in 2000 and 2004, respectively. While at the Ohio State University Murat was involved in the development and deployment of a 100 node wireless sensor network, ``Line In The Sand'', for detection, classification, and tracking, which paved the way to the ``ExScal'' network with 1000 nodes. After a one-year post-doc with the Theory of Computing Group at MIT, Murat is currently a tenure-track assistant professor at the Computer Science and Engineering Department at SUNY Buffalo. His research interests are in the area of wireless sensor networks, distributed systems, and fault tolerance. All remote sites welcome, please RSVP to siev...@lanl.gov for VNC information. Please arrive in the venue at least 30 minutes prior to the talk for testing. ============================================ Cindy Sievers Los Alamos National Laboratory siev...@lanl.gov Group CCS-1 MS B287 tel:505.665.6602 Advanced Computing fax:505.665.4939 Los Alamos, NM 87544 ============================================
