  • Adaptive State Consistency for Distributed ONOS Controllers
    2018
    Co-Authors: F. Bannour, S. Souihi, A Mellouk
    Abstract:

    Logically-centralized but physically-distributed SDN controllers are mainly used in large-scale SDN networks for scalability, performance and reliability reasons. These controllers host various Applications that have different requirements in terms of performance, availability and consistency. Current SDN controller platform designs employ conventional strong consistency models so that the SDN Applications running on top of the distributed controllers can benefit from strong consistency guarantees for network state updates. However, in large-scale deployments, ensuring strong consistency is usually achieved at the cost of generating performance overheads and limiting system availability. That makes weaker optimistic consistency models such as the eventual consistency model more attractive for SDN controller platform Applications with high-availability and scalability requirements. In this paper, we argue that the use of the standard eventual consistency models, though a necessity for efficient scalability in modern SDN systems, provides no bounds on the state inconsistencies tolerated by the SDN Applications. To remedy that, we propose an adaptive consistency model for the distributed ONOS controllers following the notion of continuous and compulsory (per-controller) eventual consistency, where network Application states adapt their eventual consistency level dynamically at run-time based on the observed state inconsistencies under changing network conditions. When compared to the ONOS approach to static eventual consistency, our approach proved efficient in minimizing state synchronization overheads while taking into Account Application state consistency SLAs and without compromising the Application requirements of high-availability, in the context of large-scale SDN networks.

  • Theoretical framework of population genetics with somatic mutations taken into Account: Application to copy number variations in humans
    Heredity, 2013
    Co-Authors: K Ezawa, H Innan
    Abstract:

    Traditionally, population genetics focuses on the dynamics of frequencies of alleles acquired by mutations on germ-lines, because only such mutations are heritable. Typical genotyping experiments, however, use DNA from some somatic tissues such as blood, which harbors somatic mutations at the current generation in addition to germ-line mutations accumulated since the most recent common ancestor of the sample. This common practice may sometimes cause erroneous interpretations of polymorphism data, unless we properly understand the role of somatic mutations in population genetics. We here introduce a very basic theoretical framework of population genetics with somatic mutations taken into Account. It is easy to imagine that somatic mutations at the current generation simply add individual-specific variations, as errors in mutation detection do. Our theory quantifies this increment under various conditions. We find that the major contribution of somatic mutations plus errors is to very rare variants, particularly to singletons. The relative contribution is markedly large when mutations are deleterious. Because negative selection also increases rare variants, it is important to distinguish the roles of these mutually confounding factors when we interpret the data, even after correcting for demography. We apply this theory to human copy number variations (CNVs), for which the composite effect of somatic mutations and errors may not be negligible. Using genome-wide CNV data, we demonstrate how the joint action of the two factors, selection and somatic mutations plus errors, shapes the observed pattern of polymorphism.
