John Heidemann

Last updated

John Heidemann is an engineer at the USC Information Sciences Institute in Marina del Rey, California. He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2014 [1] for his contributions to sensor networks, internet measurement, and simulations. He has authored more than two hundred and fifty scholarly papers in these fields. [2] His research has been supported by the American National Science Foundation, among others. [3]

John Heidemann was very active in the field of sensor networks in the 2000s. With Nirupama Bulusu and Deborah Estrin, he developed the first wireless, range-free localization system for wireless sensor networks. [4] With Wei Ye and Deborah Estrin he developed S-MAC, an early energy-conserving media access protocol for wireless networks.

During the next decade, his work examined Internet measurement, including the first complete IPv4 census (scan) in 2006, techniques to detect network outages in the Internet, and evaluation of anycast stability and under denial-of-service attack. [5] [6] [7] He received the SIGCOMM Networking Prize for his leadership of the NS-2 simulator [8] and the best paper award at the PAM conference in 2017 for his anycast measurement study. [9]

An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label such as 192.0.2.1 that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two main functions: network interface identification, and location addressing.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Root name server</span> Name server for the DNS root zone

A root name server is a name server for the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. It directly answers requests for records in the root zone and answers other requests by returning a list of the authoritative name servers for the appropriate top-level domain (TLD). The root name servers are a critical part of the Internet infrastructure because they are the first step in resolving human-readable host names into IP addresses that are used in communication between Internet hosts.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anycast</span> Network addressing and routing methodology

Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops. Anycast routing is widely used by content delivery networks such as web and name servers, to bring their content closer to end users.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) refer to networks of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors that monitor and record the physical conditions of the environment and forward the collected data to a central location. WSNs can measure environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity and wind.

Distributed denial-of-service attacks on root nameservers are Internet events in which distributed denial-of-service attacks target one or more of the thirteen Domain Name System root nameserver clusters. The root nameservers are critical infrastructure components of the Internet, mapping domain names to IP addresses and other resource record (RR) data.

In computer networking, telecommunication and information theory, broadcasting is a method of transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. Broadcasting can be performed as a high-level operation in a program, for example, broadcasting in Message Passing Interface, or it may be a low-level networking operation, for example broadcasting on Ethernet.

Sensor Media Access Control(S-MAC) is a network protocol for sensor networks. Sensor networks consist of tiny, wirelessly communicating computers, which are deployed in large numbers in an area to network independently and as long as monitor their surroundings in group work with sensors, to their energy reserves are depleted. A special form of ad hoc network, they make entirely different demands on a network protocol and therefore require network protocols specially build for them (SMAC). Sensor Media Access Control specifies in detail how the nodes of a sensor network exchange data, controls the Media Access Control (MAC) to access the shared communication medium of the network, regulates the structure of the network topology, and provides a method for synchronizing.
