Entanglement Blocking in DLCZ-based Networks

June 10, 2021
Author(s)
Abdella Battou
Resource and performance dependent blocking mechanisms for entanglement routing in quantum networks are identified and characterized in simulations of a DLCZ architecture under different loss and resource availability conditions.

Neural Networks for Classifying Probability Distributions

April 19, 2021
Author(s)
Siham Khoussi, N. Alan Heckert, Abdella Battou, Saddek Bensalem
Probability distribution fitting of an unknown stochastic process is an important preliminary step for any further analysis in science or engineering. However, it requires some background in statistics and prior considerations of the process or phenomenon

Optimal Cybersecurity Investments for SIS Model

February 15, 2021
Author(s)
Van Sy Mai, Richard La, Abdella Battou
We study the problem of minimizing the (time) average security costs in large systems comprising many interdependent subsystems, where the state evolution is captured by a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model. The security costs reflect security

Experimental demonstration of the near-quantum optimal receiver

November 19, 2020
Author(s)
Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Ivan Burenkov, FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We implement the cyclic quantum receiver based on the theoretical proposal of Roy Bondurant and demonstrate experimentally below the shot-noise limit (SNL) discrimination of quadrature phase-shift keying signals (PSK). We also experimentally test the

FPGA Implementation of a Low Latency and High SFDR Direct Digital Synthesizer for Resource-Efficient Quantum-Enhanced Communication

October 15, 2020
Author(s)
FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Ivan Burenkov, Hasan Urgurdag, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
In most modulation schemes for a telecommunication system, a fast and efficient sinusoidal signal generator is needed. Here we report on an FPGA implementation of a versatile CORDIC Based Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS). Most commercial lightwave

Time-Resolving Quantum Measurement Enables Energy-Efficient, Large-Alphabet Communication

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
Information exchange requires a measurement of physical states. Because quantum measurements enable accuracy beyond the classical shot-noise limit, they are successfully used to develop measurement tools and applications. In particular, quantum-measurement

Summary: Workshop on Machine Learning for Optical Communication Systems

March 26, 2020
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Abdella Battou, Michael P. Majurski, Dan Kilper, Uiara Celine, Massimo Tonatore, Joao Pedro, Jesse Simsarian, Jim Westdorp, Darko Zibar
Optical communication systems are expected to find use in new applications that require more intelligent and automated functionality. Optical networks are needed to address the high speeds and low latency of 5G wireless networks. The analog nature of

Workshop on Machine Learning for Optical Communication Systems: a summary

March 8, 2020
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Abdella Battou, Dan Kilper
A summary and overview of a public workshop on machine learning for optical Communication systems held on August 2nd 2019, by the Communications Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, CO.

Modeling and Improving Named Data Networking over IEEE 802.15.4

February 10, 2020
Author(s)
Amar Abane, Paul Muhlethaler, Samia Bouzefrane, Abdella Battou
Enabling NDN in real-world IoT deployments becomes essential to benefit from ICN/NDN features in current IoT systems. To design realistic NDN-based communication solutions for IoT, revisiting mainstream technologies such as low-power wireless standards may

A Testbed for Quantum Communication and Quantum Networks

May 13, 2019
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Abdella Battou, Xiao Tang, Oliver T. Slattery
The development of Quantum Networks is underway with significant acceleration in in recent years. Meanwhile. quantum scale devices and components such as single photon sources, detectors, memories and interfaces are ever readier to leave the laboratory

Distributed Algorithm for Suppressing Epidemic Spread in Networks

June 4, 2018
Author(s)
Van Sy Mai, Abdella Battou, Kevin L. Mills
This paper considers problems related to suppressing epidemic spread over networks given limited curing resources. The spreading dynamic is captured by a susceptible-infected- susceptible model. The epidemic threshold and recovery speed are determined by

A Design Methodology for Developing Resilient Cloud Services (RCS)

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Abdella Battou, Salim Hariri
Cloud Computing is emerging as a new paradigm that aims at delivering computing as a utility. For the cloud computing paradigm to be fully adopted and effectively used, it is critical that the security mechanisms are robust and resilient to malicious

Cloud Security Automation Framework

October 12, 2017
Author(s)
Cihan Tunc, Salim hariri, Mheni Merzouki, Charif Mahmoudi, Frederic J. de Vaulx, Jaafar Chbili, Robert B. Bohn, Abdella Battou
Cloud services have gained tremendous attention as a utility paradigm and have been deployed extensively across a wide range of fields. However, Cloud security is not catching up to the fast adoption of its services and remains one of the biggest

A Network Measurement Framework for Named Data Networks

September 26, 2017
Author(s)
Davide Pesavento, Omar Ilias El Mimouni, Eric E. Newberry, Lotfi Benmohamed, Abdella Battou
In this poster, we propose a network measurement framework for NDN. We define the goals of network measurement and discuss how these goals can be achieved by identifying the necessary measurement operations that must be built on top of NDN's primitives
