The future generation of transportation system will be featured by electrified public transportation. To fulfill metropolitan transit demands, electric vehicles (EVs) must be continuously operable without recharging downtime. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) techniques for in-motion EV charging is a solution. It however brings up a challenge: how to deploy charging lanes in a metropolitan road network...
Maximizing data locality in task scheduling is critical for the performance of MapReduce job execution. Manyexisting works on MapReduce scheduling decide the placementof map and reduce tasks on a coarse granularity of locationsmeasured by located machines and racks. They do not explicitlyconsider the network topology and data transmission cost, whichmay cause task straggling and degrade the job performance...
In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), enabling a node to search and find an interested mobile node is an important function in many applications. However, the movement of nodes in DTNs makes the problem formidable. Current methods in disconnected networks mainly rely on fixed stations and infrastructure-based communication to collect node position information, which is difficult to implement in DTNs...
In cloud datacenters, effective resource provisioning is needed to maximize energy efficiency and utilization of cloud resources while guaranteeing the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for tenants. Previous resource provisioning strategies either allocate physical resources to virtual machines (VMs) based on static VM resource demands or dynamically handle the variations in VM resource requirements through...
Due to intermittent connection and limited communication opportunity, routing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) is usually conducted in a store-carry-forward manner. Consequently, different packet forwarding or storage strategies can lead to different performance objectives, such as minimal average delay, maximal hit rate, and minimal maximal delay, which are desired by applications with different...
Wireless sensor networks can monitor physical and environmental conditions inexpensively, and the networks have been widely used in military and civilian applications. The sensor nodes in the networks not only have the ability to sense, but also can supply data storage, computation and communicate with each other. However, energy efficiency is the major concern in wireless sensor networks, which usually...
