Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles<BR>An adaptive routing mechanism for P2P resource discovery
2005
The key to the usability of large-scale decentralize peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, and one of the most challenge design aspects, is efficient mechanism for distributed resource discovery. Unstructured P2P networks are very attractive because they do not suffer the limitations of centralized systems an the drawbacks of highly structured approaches. However the search algorithms are usually based on simple flooding scheme generating large loads on the network participants. In this paper to address this major limitation, we present the design an evaluation of an innovative searching protocol in unstructured P2P networks. The approach aims at dynamically adapting the network topology to peers' in…
Scheduling of Real-Time Networks with a Column Generation Approach
2013
We present an algorithm based on column generation for the real-time scheduling problem of allocating periodic tasks to electronic control units in multiple subsystems connected by a global bus. The allocation has to ensure that tasks can be scheduled, and messages between tasks in different subsystems can be transmitted over the global bus and meet their deadlines. Also tasks and messages occurring in a task chain must be scheduled in a way such that the sequence of execution meets their end-to-end deadline. We show that our approach computes the optimal allocation in our model and due to the column generation approach early provides lower bounds on the optimal value.
Specialized Applications Used in the Mobile Application Security Implementation Process
2020
In the paper, authors aim to determine the extent to which open source applications can replace specialized security applications for mobile applications. In this respect, open source components are selected at which level the implemented security features are identified, based on which a completeness-determining indicator is calculated. The value of this indicator is then compared to the value obtained for the .NET CF3 framework, with a hierarchy of the components being treated according to this indicator. Based on the same selected components or components derived from them, to which other components have been added, the issue of ensuring their quality is dealt with by calculating the com…
Towards a software-defined Network Operating System for the IoT
2015
The heterogeneity characterizing the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape can be addressed by leveraging network operating systems (NOS)s. Current NOS solutions have been developed for traditional infrastructured networks: they do not take the specific features of fundamental IoT components such as wireless sensor and actuator networks into account. Accordingly, in this paper an innovative integrated network operating system for the IoT which is obtained as the evolution of the Open Network Operating System (ONOS) is proposed. This has been appropriately extended to enhance the recently proposed SDN-WISE platform for supporting SDN in wireless sensor networks and let it interact with standard…
Exploiting state information to support QoS in Software-Defined WSNs
2016
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a promising paradigm initially proposed for the wired networks which has the potential to change the way in which networks are designed and managed. Recently, its use has been extended to wireless infrastructure-less networks such as ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we take inspiration from our previous work where a scheme that extends the SDN paradigm to WSNs - called SDN-WISE - was proposed. Differently from OpenFlow, SDN-WISE is stateful; accordingly in this paper we investigate how state can be used to support different levels of QoS in WSNs. In fact, state can be used to represent the level of congestion of a node and rules can be…
User bandwidth usage-driven HNN neuron excitation method for maximum resource utilization within packet-switched communication networks
2006
Mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G are being designed under the user-centric paradigm. Dynamic resource allocation (DRA) is a topic on intensive research to address efficiently such paradigm. Hopfield neural networks (HNN) have proved useful in the past to solve this kind of complex optimization problems. Recently, various approaches have been proposed to realize HNN-based user-centric DRA. However, the initial algorithms suffer from severe instability problems impacting the overall performance. This letter analyses the source of the existing limitations and proposes an enhanced formulation, ensuring maximum resource utilization while optimizing the convergence of the neural network. The…
Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation and User Scheduling for Collaborative Mobile Clouds With Hybrid Receivers
2016
In this paper, we study the resource allocation and user scheduling algorithm for minimizing the energy cost of data transmission in the context of OFDMA collaborative mobile cloud (CMC) with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) receivers. The CMC, which consists of several collaborating MTs offers one potential solution for downlink con- tent distribution and for the energy consumption reduction at the terminal side. Meanwhile, as RF signal can carry both informa- tion and energy simultaneously, the induced SWIPT has gained much attention for energy efficiency design of mobile nodes. Previous work on the design of CMC system mainly focused on the cloud formulation o…
Distributed Resource Allocation for Energy Efficiency in OFDMA Multicell Networks with Wireless Power Transfer
2019
In this paper, an energy-efficient resource allocation problem is investigated for the wireless power transfer (WPT)-enabled OFDMA multicell networks. In the considered system, multiple base stations (BSs) with a large number of antennas are responsible to provide WPT in the downlink, and the users can recycle and utilize the received energy for uplink data transmission. The role of BS is to execute WPT; thus, there are no data transmissions in the downlink. A time-division protocol is considered to divide the time of downlink WPT and uplink wireless information transfer into separate time slots. With the objective to improve the energy efficiency, we propose the time, subcarrier, and power…

2018
Wireless sensor networks represent one of the most promising technologies whose use has significantly increased in the past years. They are used in various applications such as health care monitoring, surveillance and monitoring in agriculture, industrial monitoring, habitat and underwater monitoring, etc. Deployment of the wireless sensor networks introduces number of hard optimization problems. Placement of the elements such as sensors, gateways, sinks and base stations, depend on different conditions and constraints such as signal propagation, distance, energy preservation, reliability. In this paper, we propose a method based on brain storm optimization algorithm for placing multiple si…
Interactive multiobjective optimization system WWW-NIMBUS on the Internet
2000
Abstract NIMBUS is a multiobjective optimization method capable of solving nondifferentiable and nonconvex problems. We describe the NIMBUS algorithm and its implementation WWW-NIMBUS. To our knowledge WWW-NIMBUS is the first interactive multiobjective optimization system on the Internet. The main principles of its implementation are centralized computing and a distributed interface. Typically, the delivery and update of any software is problematic. Limited computer capacity may also be a problem. Via the Internet, there is only one version of the software to be updated and any client computer has the capabilities of a server computer. Further, the World-Wide Web (WWW) provides a graphical …
