This paper proposes a design technique of a survivable ship backbone network, which describes a near optimal configuration scheme of physical and logical topologies of which the survivable ship backbone network consists. We first analyze and present an efficient architecture of a survivable ship backbone network consisting of redundant links and ship devices with dual communication interfaces. Then, we present an integer linear programming-based configuration scheme of a physical topology with regard to the proposed ship backbone network architecture. Finally, we present a metaheuristic-based configuration scheme of a logical topology, underlying the physical topology.

In general, organizations operating multi-domain networks find it difficult to represent and manage multiple domain net works on a single screen space. Instead, most of them are managed with multiple screens visualizing network topology by domain or partitioning one screen area into multiple domains. We propose an efficient method to visualize the topology using only minimal connection information between domain-agnostic nodes in this work. This method visualizes the topology by utilizing centrality indices representing the influence of nodes in the network. Furthermore, the method dynamically segments the entire node's display area using virtual Root nodes to auto-separate domains and weights of child nodes and placing nodes in 3D space. Thus, although it is a straightforward method, the multi-domain network topology can be visualized with only minimal connection information between nodes.

Mapping virtual process topology to physical processor topology is one of the most important design issues in parallel programming. However, the mapping problem is complicated due to the topology irregularity and routing complexity. This paper proposes a new process mapping scheme called adjacency-based mapping (AM) for irregular cluster systems assuming that the two-dimensional mesh process topology is specified as an interprocess communication pattern. The cluster systems have been studied and developed for many years since they provide high interconnection flexibility, scalability, and expandability which are not attainable in traditional regular networks. The proposed AM tries to map neighboring processes in virtual process topology to adjacent processors in physical processor topology. Simulation study shows that the proposed AM results in better mapping quality and shorter interprocess latency compared to the conventional approaches.

현재 ad hoc의 연구 방향은 무천 기반의 패킷 라우팅에 관련된 것이 대부뿐 이러 네트워크 토폴로지 생성에 대한 연구는 거의 진행된 것이 없다. 현재 대부분의 ad hoc 네트워크는 대표적인 싱글 채널 방식인 broadcast 기반의 무선 미디어 방식을 물리적 계층을 사용하며, 이를 기반으로 이동 노드의 무선 범위 제한을 극복하기 위한 형태로 네트워크 토폴로지를 형성한다. 블루투스(B1uetooth)는 frequency hopping(FH) 방식을 사용하므로 연결 설정 과정에서 동기화 과정이 반드시 요구되며, ad hoc 네트워크을 형성을 위해 다중 채널을 사용한다. 따라서 블루투스와 같이 다중 채널을 물리적 계층으로 사용하는 네트워크에서는 싱글 채널 방식과 달리 명시적으로 토폴로지를 형성하기 위한 메커니즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 다중 채널과 블루투스가 탑재된 노드의 이질적 특성을 고려한 스캐터넷(Scatternet) 구성 메커니즘을 제안한다. 본 메커니즘은 칵 노드의 전력 상태와 이동성 정보를 바탕으로 스캐터넷의 마스터와 브리지 노드틀 선택 함으로서 효율적인 네트워크 토플로지를 구성한다.

A regular virtual topology requires little processing time for routing purposes which may be a desirable property for high-speed networks. Asymmetric bilayered ShuffleNet, proposed by us as a virtual topology, can be more efficient to be used to design a wide-area optical network compared to ShuffleNet. In this paper, asymmetric bilayered ShuffleNet is imbedded on a given physical topology with the objective of minimizing the total message delay.

Earlier researches have typically concentrated on discovering IP network topology, which implies that the connectivity of all Ethernet devices is ignored. But automatic discovery of Physical topology Plays a crucial role in enhancing the manageability of modem Metro Ethernet mesh networks due to the benefits of Ethernet services, including: Ease of use, Cost Effectiveness and flexibility. Because of proprietary solutions targeting specific product families and related algorithm which depends on Layer 2 forwarding table information it is impossible to discover physical topology in the Ethernet mesh networks. To cope with these shortcomings, in this paper we propose a novel and practical algorithmic solution that can discover accurate physical topology in the Ethernet mesh networks. Our algorithm divides the Ethernet mesh networks into bridged networks and host networks and those bridges located in boundary are named edge bridges. Our algorithm uses the standard spanning tree protocol MIB information for the bridged networks and uses the standard Layer 2 forwarding table MIB information for the host networks. As using the standard MIB information to discover physical topology we can offer interoperability guarantee in the Ethernet mesh networks composed of the various vendors' products.

This paper describes the implementation of DCS communication network that provides high bandwidth and reliability. The network for DCS in this paper adopts the Reflective Memory (RM) architecture and Fast Ethernet physical media that have 100 Mbps bandwidth. Also, This network uses Ring Enhancement Device (RED) which is invented to reduce the time delay of each node. The DCS network that is introduced in this paper is named as ERCNet (Ethernet based Real-time Control Network). This paper describes the architecture and working algorithms of ERCNet and performs numerical analysis. In addition, the performance of ERCNet is evaluated by experiment using the developed ERCNet network.

In this paper. we develop an analytical model to evaluate the virtual topology reconfiguration phase of optical Internet networks. To counter the continual approximation problem brought by traditional heuristic approach, we take the traffic prediction into consideration and propose a new heuristic reconfiguration algorithm called Prediction based Multi-stage Reconfiguration approach. We then use this analytical model to study the different configuration operation policies in response to the changing traffic patterns in the higher layer and the congestion level on the virtual topology. This algorithm persists to decide the optimal instant of reconfiguration easily based on the network state. Simulation results show that our virtual topology management Policy significantly outperforms the conventional one, while the required physical resources are limited.

Mobile ad hoc networks(MANET) have recently attrarted a lot of attention in the research community as well as in industry. Although the previous research mainly focused on the various problems of MANET in data link and network layers, we consider, in this paper, how to efficiently support applications such as service discovery on top of MANET. Peer-to-Peer(P2P) overlay network can be adopted to service discovery mechanism because P2P and MANET share certain similarities, primarily the fact that both arc instances of self-organizing decentralized systems. Especially, distributed hash table(DHT) systems used for r2r overlay network can be effective in reducing the communication overhead in service discovery. However, since overlay network is independent of physical network topology and existing topology-aware mechanisms are based on the wired network, they are inefficient in MANET. We propose a proximity-based overlay network routing to overcome the inefficiency of routing in overlay network. In the proximity-based overlay network routing, each node collects information of physically close nodes by using one hop broadcast and routes messages to the logically closest node to destination. In a detailed ns-2 simulation study, we show that the proximity-based overlay network routing reduces the number of physical hops comparable to the flooding-based mechanism with low communication overhead. We also find that the proposed scheme works well in the mobile environment.
