A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
We study a wireless network under the 802.11 random access protocol, supporting multiple physical layer rates. Based on models for the effective packet rates achieved at the MAC ...
In this paper we explore the mobility of a mobile sink in a wireless sensor network (WSN) to prolong the network lifetime. Since the mechanical movement of mobile sink is driven by...
Existing solutions for top-k queries in wireless sensor networks mainly focused on energy efficiency and little attention has been paid to the response time to answer a top-k que...
In this paper, we consider multihop wireless mesh networks, where each router node is equipped with multiple radio interfaces, and multiple channels are available for communication...
