[Nets-seminars] UCL EE Seminar list for 2013 Autumn term

[Richard G. Clegg]

We have a fine collection of speakers this term travelling from various 
places in the UK as well as a couple local to London.  I hope you'll put 
these dates in your diaries.

As usual all talks will be on 16:00 on Friday so there is an opportunity 
to continue discussions in the pub afterwards.  The usual location will 
by 66-72 Gower Street GS/102 -- but a couple of the talks are in 
different locations -- I will email location details nearer the time.

4th October -- Marwan Fayed (Stirling) -- Towards Position-based Routing 
for Mobile Environments
18th October -- Noa Zilberman (Cambridge) -- The Internet PoP-Level Map
1st November -- Angelos Marnerides (Lancaster) -- Insights of Malware 
Analysis in Cloud Environments
15th November -- Arjuna Sathiaseelan (Cambridge) -- Lowest Common

Our first talk is by Marwan:
Title:  Towards Position-based Routing for Mobile Environments

Abstract: Despite its simplicity there exists, as yet, no position-based 
routing that is suitable for dynamic networks. This, despite being 
well-studied, simple (in principle), and requiring little-to-no 
overhead. In this talk I shall present a 'first principles' 
investigation of the forwarding component according to left- or 
right-hand rule (LHR) in order to understand its limitations and 
obstacles. We find there are only five (5) possible intersecting 
configurations. Surprisingly only one (1) of these configurations 
defeats LHR, and even then only under a strict set of circumstances that 
rarely appear.
