Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN) enable store-carry-and-forward data transmission in networks challenged by frequent disruptions and high latency. Existing classification distinguishes between scheduled and probabilistic DTNs, for which…
When humans perform everyday tasks, we naturally adjust our actions based on the current state of the environment. For instance, if we intend to put something into a drawer but notice it is closed, we open it first. However, many autonomous…
Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) may lack continuous network connectivity. Routing in DTNs is thus a challenge since it must handle network partitioning, long delays, and dynamic topology. Meanwhile, routing protocols of the…
In order to provide a high resilience and to react quickly to link failures, modern computer networks support fully decentralized flow rerouting, also known as local fast failover. In a nutshell, the task of a local fast failover algorithm…
This paper presents a new data-driven fault identification and controller reconfiguration algorithm. The presented algorithm relies only on the system's input and output data, and it does not require a detailed system description. The…
Single node failures represent more than 85% of all node failures in the today's large communication networks such as the Internet. Also, these node failures are usually transient. Consequently, having the routing paths globally recomputed…
