May 26, 2021
Author(s)
Murugiah Souppaya, Douglas Montgomery, Tim Polk, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Donna Dodson, William Barker, Steve Johnson, Ashwini Kadam, Craig Pratt, Darshak Thakore, Mark Walker, Eliot Lear, Brian Weis, Dean Coclin, Avesta Hojjati, Clint Wilson, Tim Jones, Adnan Baykal, Drew Cohen, Kevin Yeich, Yemi Fashima, Parisa Grayeli, Joshua Harrington, Joshua Klosterman, Blaine Mulugeta, Susan Symington, Jaideep Singh
The goal of the Internet Engineering Task Force's Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) specification is for Internet of Things (IoT) devices to behave as intended by the manufacturers of the devices. MUD provides a standard way for manufacturers to

Soft MUD: Implementing Manufacturer Usage Descriptions on OpenFlow SDN Switches

March 24, 2019
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, Douglas Montgomery, Omar Ilias El Mimouni
Manufacturer Usage Descriptions are generalized network Access Control Lists (ACL) that allow manufacturers to declare intended communication patterns for devices (Things). MUD-enabled Things are restricted to only communicate in the manner intended by the

Real-Time Centralized Spectrum Monitoring: Feasibility, Architecture, and Latency

September 29, 2015
Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal, Mudumbai Ranganathan, John Mink, Naceur A. El Ouni
This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a real-time, centralized spectrum monitoring and alert system. Such a system can be used to support emerging spectrum sharing solutions that use a centralized controller to mediate tiered access to

An Overview of the NTIA/NIST Spectrum Monitoring Pilot Program

Michael Cotton, Michael R. Souryal, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Jeff Wepman, Julie Kub, Steve Engelking, Yeh Lo, Heather Ottke, Raian Kaiser, Douglas Anderson
This paper provides an overview of a Spectrum Monitoring Pilot Program within the U.S. Department of Commerce. It provides background, motivation, goals, accomplishments, and plans for future work. We describe the development of a federated Measured

Programmable Active Services for SIP

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
Jean Deruelle, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Douglas C. Montgomery
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Implementing JAIN-SLEE on JBoss

SMAT: Synchronous Multimedia and Annotation Tool

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Emile L. Morse
We describe the design and use of SMAT (Synchronous Multimedia and Annotation Tool), a tool designed to be part of a scientific collaboratory for use in a robotic-arc-welding research project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

A Reliable Message Delivery Protocol for Mobile Agents

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, M Bednarek, Douglas C. Montgomery
The abstractions and protocol mechanisms that form the basis for inter-agent communications can significantly impact the overall design and effectiveness of Mobile Agent systems. We present the design and performance analysis of a reliable communication

Mobile Streams: A Middleware for Reconfigurable Distributed Scripting

October 4, 1999
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, V Schaal, V Galtier, Douglas C. Montgomery
A large class of distributed applications follow the event-driven or reactive paradigm. Such applications can benefit from Mobile Agent technology by making it easy to add re-configurability, extensibility, and failure resilience features at an application

Re-Configurable Distributed Scripting

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, L S. Andrey, V Schaal, J Favreau
A large class of distributed testing, control and collaborative applications are reactive or event driven in nature. Such applications can be structured as a set of handlers that react to events and that in turn can trigger other events. We have developed

Adapting to Bandwidth Variations in Wide-Area Data Combination

May 26, 1998
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, A Acharya, J Saltz
Efficient data combination over wide-area networks is hard as wide-area networks have large variations in available network bandwidth. In this paper, we examine the utility of changing the location of combination operators as a technique to adapt to
