The paper, “A More Realistic AC-QSS Cascading Failure Model with Decentralized UVLS and Centralized RAS“, develops a more realistic cascading failure model for power grid that incorporates the effects of Under Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) and Remedial Action Scheme (RAS). The work is part of the CAMPR project.

Paper on “Stealthy DGoS Attack” accepted to ToN
Daniel’s work on “Stealthy DGoS Attack: DeGrading of Service under the Watch of Network Tomography” is accepted to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Congratulations to Daniel on your first journal paper with me! This is the extended version of our earlier INFOCOM’20 paper with the same title, discussing the optimal attack strategies and the maximum damage […]
Paper on “Online Learning of Facility Locations” accepted to ALT’21
This is a joint work with UCL and IBM, on an online version of the classic Facility Location Problem with applications on service placement in mobile edge computing, funded by the DAIS-ITA program. Congratulations to the team!
Paper on “Attack Resilience of Cache Replacement Policies” accepted to INFOCOM’21
The paper uses TTL approximation to analyze the attack resilience of a number of state-of-the-art cache replacement policies (including several two-staged policies), in terms of how well they preserve the hit ratio for legitimate flows under a given number and rates of attack flows. Observing that no single policy is optimal under all kinds of […]
Paper on “Service Placement for Collaborative Edge Applications” accepted to TON
The paper, in collaboration with Lin Wang et al., formulates and solves a novel type of service placement in edge computing designed to support collaborative applications (e.g., social VR), which require not only communications between each user and its service entity, but also between the service entities of users. It is an extended version of […]
“Power Grid State Estimation under General Cyber-Physical Attacks” selected as Best Paper Finalist at SmartGridComm’20
Congratulations to Yudi on your first paper (with me) and on the honor! This work, as part of the CAMPR project supported by NSF, revisited the problem of localizing failed links (i.e., transmission lines) in a power grid under joint cyber-physical attack. But unlike previous works that assumed the grid to remain connected after the […]
Followup work on “Stealthy DGoS Attack” accepted to Globecom
Congrats to Daniel on your second paper! This work follows up our INFOCOM’20 paper on “Stealthy DGoS Attack”, a novel insider attack that tries to degrade end-to-end communication performances by adding delays/losses at compromised links while protecting these links from detection by network tomography. Unlike the first paper that implicitly assumes only passive measurements, the […]
Paper on “Network Scheduling Aware Task Placement” accepted to TON
The paper, “Network Scheduling and Compute Resource Aware Task Placement in Datacenters“, is the journal version of an earlier conference paper with my intern Ali Munir at CoNEXT’16. It talks about the importance of taking into account how the network schedules flows in placing tasks for data-intensive computation in datacenters.
Paper on comparison between federated learning and coreset accepted to FL-ICML’20
Hanlin’s preliminary result in exploring the data privacy aspect of coreset-based learning, in comparison with federated learning, is accepted for a long presentation (11 out of 46) at the International Workshop on Federated Learning for User Privacy and Data Confidentiality in Conjunction with ICML 2020 (FL-ICML’20). Congratulations, Hanlin!
Paper on “Misreporting Attacks in SDN” accepted to SecureComm’20
Quinn’s paper on “Misreporting Attacks in Software-Defined Networking” is accepted to International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks (SecureComm 2020). Congratulations, Quinn! The work is supported by a NSF:SaTC grant for which Ting He is the PI. It talks about how a compromised switch can stealthily attract a greater portion of traffic than […]
