John Heidemann

Summary

John Heidemann is an engineer at the USC Information Sciences Institute in Marina del Rey, California. He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2014[1] for his contributions to sensor networks, internet measurement, and simulations. He has authored more than two hundred and fifty scholarly papers in these fields.[2] His research has been supported by the American National Science Foundation, among others.[3]

John Heidemann was very active in the field of sensor networks in the 2000s. With Nirupama Bulusu and Deborah Estrin, he developed the first wireless, range-free localization system for wireless sensor networks.[4] With Wei Ye and Deborah Estrin he developed S-MAC, an early energy-conserving media access protocol for wireless networks.

During the next decade, his work examined Internet measurement, including the first complete IPv4 census (scan) in 2006, techniques to detect network outages in the Internet, and evaluation of anycast stability and under denial-of-service attack.[5][6][7] He received the SIGCOMM Networking Prize for his leadership of the NS-2 simulator [8] and the best paper award at the PAM conference in 2017 for his anycast measurement study.[9]

Every 11 minutes, Dr. John Heidemann's team "pings" 4 million networks to ascertain if they are live, looking for patterns and outliers. If a nation-state shuts down their country's web access (as Egypt did in 2011) or a hurricane hits, taking out major utilities and communication networks, Professor Heidemann will know what's going on.

Heidemann and his team pinged about 3.7 million address blocks (representing about 950 million addresses) every 11 minutes over the span of two months, looking for daily patterns. 'This data helps us establish a baseline for the Internet - to understand how it functions, so that we have a better idea of how resilient it is as a whole, and can spot problems quicker,' Heidemann said.
