Leveraging Service Discovery in MANETs with Mobile Directories

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:26:17 +0000

This paper advances a novel approach that facilitates the location of services and/or digital assets advertised by directories in a Mobile Ad hoc Network. The proposed Service Directory Placement Protocol (SDPP) improves scalability and reduces packet traffic overhead by advancing a multi-directory extension of an earlier approach that relied on the migration of a single directory through the network. This investigation demonstrates that modelling the directory replication problem as a Semi-Markov Decision Problem solved by means of a Reinforcement Learning technique known as Q-learning improves the performance of SDPP

Cross-Network Opportunistic Collection of Urgent Data in Wireless Sensor Networks

Master — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:25:38 +0000

Ubiquitous smart environments equipped with low-cost and easily-deployable wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and ever-increasing widespread Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are opening brand new opportunities in environmental monitoring. This paper proposes an original solution for WSN/MANET integration based on the primary design guideline of opportunistically exploiting MANET overlays impromptu formed over the WSN to improve and boost the data collection task of a typical WSN

Heuristic Approaches for Transmission Scheduling in Sensor Networks with Multiple Mobile Sinks

Master — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 16:10:48 +0000

A large part of the energy budget of traditional sensor networks is consumed by the hop-by-hop routing of the collected information to the static sink. In many applications it is possible to replace the static sink with one or more mobile sinks that move in a sensor field and collect the data through one-hop transmissions. This greatly reduces the power consumption of the nodes, which can be further reduced by choosing the appropriate moment of transmission

Most smart phones have great voice command capability, but our computers have been slow to catch up. Windows has built-in voice recognition, but it does not work well with every program, including our browsers. Awhile back, we found a way to anoint Firefox with voice recognition , and now we have found a similar way to do the same with Chrome.

A long time ago, I had blocked someone on Facebook because I wasn’t really friends with them and so I didn’t want them to see my profile. Eventually, I did become friends with that person and they were curious as to why they could not see my profile! At this point, I had to unblock the person so that they could do everything that a normal friend on Facebook could, such as posting on my wall, commenting, etc. In this article, I’ll quickly go over how you can unblock someone you’ve previously blocked on Facebook
