Rolla, MO 65401 Phone: 1-573-***-****

Missouri S&T, Department of Computer Science June-Aug 2009, 2010

Mentor (NSF REU Undergraduate Workshop)

Worked as lecturer and project manager with other mentors to teach the concepts of wireless sensor

networks and TinyOS to undergraduate researchers as part of the REU program

Worked with a team of 2 undergraduate researchers in Summer 2009 and Summer 2010 on performance

analysis of Dynamic Social Grouping (See academic Projects)

Wal-Mart ISD - Replenishment Division Bentonville, AR

Programmer Analyst Aug 2006 Aug 2008

Maintained and upgraded Replenishment back-end for Wal-Mart stores (written primarily in COBOL)

Upgraded previous systems from SAS, improving runtime efficiency

Managed large-scale data queries using DB2 systems

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Content Distribution in Delay-Tolerant Networks using Social Context September 2012

Roy Cabaniss, S. Madria

Placement strategy for Content Throwboxes, which distribute media across a Delay-Tolerant Network

Identify optimal positions using social context, identifying groups based on contact patterns

Use social context and content request data to calculate Repository Position Ranking

Validated results using The One DTN Simulator, a Java tool simulating node mobility and

communications

Three-Point Encryption February 2012

Roy Cabaniss, S. Madria, V. Kumar

Security infrastructure allowing secure communications in Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) without

access to public key

Functions in untrusted networks

Uses Commutative encryption to secure messages through multiple midpoints, or Threshold encryption to

seperate message into encrypted fragments for security

Reduces intercepted traffic by 93%, reduces delivery ratio by 60%

Simulation was written in Omnet++, implemented on Amazon EC2, maintained by Linux Shell Scripting

DSG-N2: A group-based social routing algorithm March 2011

Roy Cabaniss, J.M. Bridges, A. Wilson, S. Madria

Uses alpha-decay scheme to identify node social contacts, and uses contact similarity to identify social

groups

Uses probabilistic scheme to efficiently route messages

Applicable to networks requiring node-to-node communications without access to central authority, such

as ad-hoc smartphone message service

Test case was written and simulated in MatLab, then implemented in NesC, simulated in modified

TOSSIM (modified to handle dynamic topology)

Published in Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), 2011 IEEE

Dynamic Social Grouping Based Routing in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network May 2010

Roy Cabaniss, S. Madria, G. Rush, A. Trotta, S. Vulli

Identifies social groups formed by mobile nodes in a wireless network

Uses social information to effeciently route messages to a basestation

Applicable for gathering information on any nodes following social patterns, such as wildlife or human

social information

Test case was written and simulated in MatLab, then implemented in NesC, simulated in modified

TOSSIM (modified to handle dynamic topology)

Published in Mobile Data Management (MDM), HPCC
