Motes mounted on animals can easily detach. Fixed motes could get displaced by environmental conditions, e.g., heavy rains. These motes could contain valuable data and/or equipment, but finding them out in the wild could be quite challenging. Similar challenges arise in the cases where the placement of nodes is not known a priori, and yet in-field interaction with them (e.g., for data downloading or debugging) is needed. We present MOTEHUNTER, a tool supporting in-field searching for motes, composed of: the Hunter, a special node with custom hardware and software and equipped with a directional antenna, and the Prey, which can be in principle any mote compliant with IEEE 802.15.4, although a special small-footprint software component can be integrated with the application to simplify the search. We illustrate the architecture of MOTEHUNTER and discuss our design choices quantitatively and qualitatively.}, year = {2012}, pages = {1-9} } @inproceedings{MTMT:2686928, title = {Experimental comparison of neighborhood filtering strategies in unstructured P2P-TV systems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2686928}, author = {Stefano, Traverso and Luca, Abeni and Robert, Birke and Király, Csaba and Emilio, Leonardi and Renato, Lo Cigno and Marco, Mellia}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P) 2012}, doi = {10.1109/P2P.2012.6335794}, unique-id = {2686928}, abstract = {P2P-TV systems performance are driven by the overlay topology that peers form. Several proposals have been made in the past to optimize it, yet little experimental studies have corroborated results. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive experimental comparison of different strategies for the construction and maintenance of the overlay topology in P2P-TV systems. To this goal, we have implemented different fully-distributed strategies in a P2P-TV application, called PeerStreamer, that we use to run extensive experimental campaigns in a completely controlled set-up which involves thousands of peers, spanning very different networking scenarios. Results show that the topological properties of the overlay have a deep impact on both user quality of experience and network load. Strategies based solely on random peer selection are greatly outperformed by smart, yet simple strategies that can be implemented with negligible overhead. Even with different and complex scenarios, the neighborhood filtering strategy we devised as most performing guarantees to deliver almost all chunks to all peers with a play-out delay as low as only 6s even with system loads close to 1.0. Results are confirmed by running experiments on PlanetLab. PeerStreamer is open-source to make results reproducible and allow further research by the community.}, year = {2012}, pages = {13-24} } @article{MTMT:2685991, title = {Fluxo P2P}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2685991}, author = {Emilio, Leonardi and Marco, Mellia and Király, Csaba and Renato, Lo Cigno and Saverio, Niccolini and Jan, Seedorf}, journal-iso = {RTI REDES TELECOM INSTAL}, journal = {RTI REDES TELECOM E INSTALACOES}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {2685991}, issn = {1808-3544}, abstract = {Os fluxos P2P impõem demandas extremamente altas sobre a rede.
