Who we are
• Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma: young institution borne in 1993 around a Faculty of Medicine
• In 1999 started a Faculty of Engineering with a course in Biomedical Engineering
• Tight integration between the two Faculties• Fields of interest: informatics, system modeling,
biomaterials, biomedical instruments, robotics

Who we are
• Research group on Computer Networks and Advanced Distributed Applications– COFIN project: Scalability and Quality of Service in Web
Systems (closed)– FIRB project: Wide-scalE, Broadband, MIddleware for
Network Distributed Services (active) – Hospital Information System for Students (HISS) project
funded by Hewlett-Packard (active)

Distributed Services
Motivations
• Making Internet services accessible anywhere, anytime, anyhow, and by anyone is a research field that emerged recently
• W3C Device Independence (DI) Activity focuses on making Web accessible anytime and anyhow– many access mechanisms (including mobile devices)– many modes of use (including multimedia ones)

Distributed Services
Motivations
• DI can be considered from three perspectives:– user– authoring techniques– delivery mechanisms
• Our activity focuses mainly on the third item and concerns system support to service guarantees in the Device Independence vision

Motivations
• The delivery subsystem should be able to reserve resources needed to deliver services in a highly dynamic environment
• Our activity on these “traditional” Quality of Service issues is currently focused on: – heterogeneous wireless access networks – dynamic changes in network configuration and workload

Motivations
• Service adaptation: a complementary concept to provide effective support to universal access:
• Adaptation to access media– bandwidth, reliability, security
• Adaptation to the interface (terminal device)– screen, power consumption, computing power
• Adaptation to the context– localization, time, other circumstances, preferences

QoS support in 802.11
• Supporting traffic differentiation in 802.11 WLAN (infrastructured configurations)– layer 3 management for downstream traffic– for upstream traffic we have proposed a minor
modification to MAC protocol at the base station (called Frame Dropping)
– can be implemented at firmware level, no change required to mobile stations

QoS support in 802.11
if ACKs are dropped, the MS perceives channel congestion
MS increase its CW and this induces
traffic differentiation

QoS support in 802.11
• Forthcoming standard 802.11e – advanced protocol with enhanced scheduling
mechanisms at MAC layer– performance modeling of throughput and delay in
saturation and non saturation conditions (Luca Vollero visiting Albert Banchs/Madrid—Carlos III)
– medium term goal: strategies for on-line configuration of MAC parameters

Mobility and seamless connectivity
• Integration of WLANs and 2.5G/3G cellular networks
• Loosely-coupled approach: Mobile IPv6• Focus on multi-homed mobile hosts: vertical handoff
– seamless and efficient handoffs– handoff policies– cooperative multi-homed connectivity

Mobility and seamless connectivity
• Vertical handoff performance improvement • Performance analysis of transport protocols during
handoffs– TCP– UDP/RTP
• Intelligent handoffs through rule-based management– merging of preferences and other context information
