Active Networks Measurement Project

Goal

Devise and validate a means to express the CPU time requirements of a mobile-code application in a form that can be meaningfully interpreted among heterogeneous nodes in a network.

Technical Approach

Propose abstract mathematical models for active network nodes and active applications.
Validate the abstract models against measurements from real active nodes and applications.
Prototype validated mechanisms in a node operating system and evaluate them in live operations.

FY02 Plans

Bundle project code and other deliverables onto the project web site.
Complete initial investigation of an alternate white-box approach to model CPU time usage. (Perhaps write a paper.)
Send proposal to DARPA for a one-year extension to explore additional applications of Active Networks
