In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) energy balancing and energy efficiency are the key requirements to prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, we investigate the problem of energy hole, where sensor nodes located near the sink or in some other parts of the network die very early due to unbalanced load distribution. Moreover, there is a dire need to utilize the energy resource efficiently. For...
In wireless sensor networks, sensors typically aim to transmit their own readings to the sink node. Constructing an efficient data collection tree is very important since it can determine the lifetime of the given WSNs. In literature, may studies have investigated this issue and proposed algorithms for mobile sink to visit each sensor such that the readings of the sensors can be directly transmit...
In this work, we evaluate performance of home energy management system(HEM) by using three meta-heuristic optimization techniques: Harmony search algorithm (HSA), Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) and Enhanced deferential evolution(EDE). We categorize appliances into three groups on the basis of their energy consumption pattern. Real time pricing (RTP) scheme is used for electricity bill calculation...

It is critical to reduce the electric energy consumed in server clusters in order to realize eco society. In our previous studies, a server is selected to perform a process by estimating the termination time of every current process and then the electric energy consumption of servers. However, it is not easy and takes time to collect the state of each process and estimate the termination time of each...
Application processes like Web applications use not only CPU but also storages like HDD. In our previous studies, the algorithms to select a server in a cluster are proposed to energy efficiently perform processes which use either CPU or storages. In this paper, we consider a more general type of processes which do both the computation and access to storages. In this paper, we propose a computation...
With the emergence of smart grid which has bidirectional communication capability plays a key role in maintaining balance between demand and supply. The major portion of energy consumed by residential sector creates a huge deficit between generation and consumption. Home energy management (HEM) system incorporation scheduling algorithm is an efficient alternate to cover this deficit by appropriate...
This paper presents a new approach of clusteringmechanism in the wireless sensor networks. In our proposedapproach the selection of the cluster head is based on multiplecriteria by combining varieties of performance metrics. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to enhance the election of themost performed node in order to be a cluster head. The proposedmechanism is evaluated by Matlab and was...
