This paper proposes an architecture for optimized resource allocation in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)-based cloud systems. Current IaaS systems are usually unaware of the ho...
: Security has become the corner stone of research in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Due to the unique operational environment of WSNs, where the communication medium is open to ...
Abstract—We first present a problem called precedence constrained two traveling salesman (PC2TSP). We propose a nearoptimal heuristic to PC2TSP to generate tours by clustering p...
