Biological Peer-To-Peer Networks: From Bacterial Communication To The Development Of Synthetic Distributed Systems
2014
We address Bacterial Computing from the study of bacterial communication mechanisms, by assuming a conceptual framework between Computer Science and Biology in which cells are conceived as nodes. This nodes process information through modules formed of DNA as encoded software (biobricks) and are connected to other nodes. In order to understand how peerto-peer mechanisms operate in bacteria, we have studied Quorum sensing and Conjugation with an engineering perspective. Learning how cells process and exchange information we try to glimpse new theoretical approaches to develop synthetic networks and to transfer complex algorithms to natural environments. Extending bacterial communications we …
A Bacterial-Based Algorithm to Simulate Complex Adaptative Systems
2014
Paper presented at the 13th International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior which took place at Castellón, Spain in 2014, July 22-25. Bacteria have demonstrated an amazing capacity to overcome envi-ronmental changes by collective adaptation through genetic exchanges. Using a distributed communication system and sharing individual strategies, bacteria propagate mutations as innovations that allow them to survive in different envi-ronments. In this paper we present an agent-based model which is inspired by bacterial conjugation of DNA plasmids. In our approach, agents with bounded rationality interact in a common environment guided by local rules, leading to Complex Adaptive Syste…
Ancillary Services in the Energy Blockchain for Microgrids
2019
The energy blockchain is a distributed Internet protocol for energy transactions between nodes of a power system. Recent applications of the energy blockchain in microgrids only consider the energy transactions between peers without considering the technical issues that can arise, especially when the system is islanded. One contribution of the paper is, thus, to depict a comprehensive framework of the technical and economic management of microgrids in the blockchain era, considering, for the first time, the provision of ancillary services and, in particular, of the voltage regulation service. When more PV nodes are operating in the grid, large reactive power flows may appear in the branches…
Modelling complex dynamics and distributed generation of knowledge with bacterial-based algorithms
2014
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo demostrar que las sociedades conectadas y heterogéneas con intercambios entre pares (P2P) son más resilientes que las centralizadas y homogéneas. En el modelado basado en agentes, se modelizan agentes con racionalidad limitada que interactúan en un entorno común guiado por reglas locales, lo que lleva a Sistemas Adaptativos Complejos (CAS) que se denominan 'sociedades artificiales'. Estos modelos simplificados de sociedades humanas crecen de abajo hacia arriba en entornos computacionales y pueden utilizarse como un laboratorio para probar algunas hipótesis. Hemos demostrado que en un modelo basado en interacciones libres entre agentes autónomos, los resultado…
Evaluation of Structural and Temporal Properties of Ego Networks for Data Availability in DOSNs
2017
The large diffusion of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has influenced the way people interact with each other. OSNs present several drawbacks, one of the most important is the problem of privacy disclosures. Distributed Online Social Networks (DOSNs) have been proposed as a valid alternative solution to solve this problem. DOSNs are Online Social Networks implemented on a distributed platform, such as a P2P system or a mobile network. However, the decentralization of the control presents several challenges, one of the main ones is guaranteeing data availability without relying on a central server. To this aim, users’ data allocation strategies have to be defined and this requires the knowledg…
P2PStudio - Monitoring, Controlling and Visualization Tool for Peer-to-Peer Networks Research
2006
Peer-to-Peer Studio has been developed as a monitoring, controlling and visualization tool for peer-to-peer networks. It uses a centralized architecture to gather events from a peer-to-peer network and can be used to visualize network topology and to send different commands to individual peer-to-peer nodes. The tool has been used with Chedar Peer-to-Peer network to study the behavior of different peer-to-peer resource discovery and topology management algorithms and for visualizing the results of NeuroSearch resource discovery algorithm produced by the Peer-to-Peer Realm network simulator. This paper presents the features, the architecture and the protocols of Peer-to-Peer Studio and the ex…
Peer to Peer Equation Augmentation for an Altitude Aided GNSS Receiver
2010
This paper considers the possibility to integrate external altitude measurements with a Kalman based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver in a peer to peer scenario. The performance of such a system is investigated for different characteristics of the aiding measurement and for different degree of trust of the receiver upon the aiding measurement. The aiding measurement is obtained starting from the altitude measurements that the other peers in the network send to the aided user. The experiments highlight the need for a parameter that points out the effectiveness and the consistency of the computed aiding measurement. To this purpose, a reliability index is proposed, on the ba…
Improved GNSS positioning exploiting a vehicular P2P infrastructure
2010
This paper considers the possibility to exploit external altitude measurements to improve the performance of a Kalman based GNSS receiver. The altitude measurements are provided by means of a peer to peer network, that is supposed to be based on the evolution of the 802.11 standard for the vehicular environment, namely the WAVE (802.11p). The performance of such a system are investigated for different characteristics of the aiding measurement and for a different number and disposals of the aiding peers. The aiding measurement is obtained starting from the altitude measurements that the other peers in the network send to the aided user. The experiments highlight the need for a parameter that…
Distributed Coverage of Ego Networks in F2F Online Social Networks
2016
Although most online social networks rely on a centralized infrastructure, several proposals of Distributed Online Social Networks (DOSNs) have been recently presented. Since in DOSNs user profiles are stored on the peers of the users belonging to the network, one of the main challenges comes from guaranteeing the profile availability when the owner of the data is not online. In this paper, we propose a DOSN based on a friend-to-friend P2P overlay where the user's data is stored only on friend peers. Our approach is based on the ego-network concept, which models the social network from the local point of view of a single user. We propose a distributed algorithm which is based on the notion …
A data aggregation strategy based on wavelet for the internet of things
2017
The advent of emerging information and communication technologies, such as RFID, small size sensors and sensor networks, has made accessible a huge amount of information that requires sophisticated and efficient search algorithms to support queries on that data. In this paper we focus on the problem of aggregating data collected from these devices to efficiently support queries, inferences or statistics on them. In general, data aggregation techniques are necessary to efficiently collect information in a compact and cost-effective way. Some current solutions try to meet the above criteria, by exploiting different data aggregation techniques, for instance BitVector or Q_Digest. In this manus…
