Simulation Vs. Emulation: Evaluating Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols

In order for simulation studies to be useful, it is very important that the simulation results match as closely as possible with the testbed results. This paper compares emulated testbed results with simulation results from NS2 and GloMoSim. OLSR was used as a routing protocol and NRL Mobile Network Emulator...

Detection of Slow Malicious Worms Using Multi-Sensor Data Fusion

Detection of slow worms is particularly challenging due to the stealthy nature of their propagation techniques and their ability to blend with normal traffic patterns. This paper, proposes a distributed detection approach based on the Generalized Evidence Processing GEP theory, a sensor integration and data fusion technique. With GEP theory,...
