Enforsing cooperative behaviour in multi wireless ad-hoc network.
PublicationMechanizmy kontroli przekazywania pakietów tranzytowych w rozległych sieciach had-hoc wykorzystują nasłuchiwanie pakietów transmitowanych przez stacje sąsiednie i ich porównywanie z zachowanymi kopiami. W pracy pokazuje się możliwość egoistycznych zachowań stacji podlegających na niekontrolowanej admisji pakietów źródłowych, a następnie odmowie przyjmowania pakietów tranzytowych z powodu przepełnienia lokalnej pamięci buforowej.

Framework for Integration Decentralized and Untrusted Multi-vendor IoMT Environments
PublicationLack of standardization is highly visible while we use historical data sets or compare our model with others that use IoMT devices from different vendors. The problem also concerns the trust in highly decentralized and anonymous environments where sensitive data are transferred through the Internet and then are analyzed by third-party companies. In our research we propose a standard that has been implemented in the form of framework...
