The recent spread of mobile networks has paved the way for building a pervasive social networking (PSN) environment, which enables people to access social networking services (SNS) anytime and from anywhere. There have been extensive studies on MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks), which use mobile terminals for relaying information. While the feasibility of using them as emergency networks in the aftermath...
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...
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...
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a multihop wireless network in which the mobile nodes are dynamic in nature and has a limited bandwidth and minimum battery power. Due to this challenging environment the mobile nodes can be grouped into clusters to achieve better stability and scalability. Grouping the mobile nodes is called clustering, in which a leader node is elected to manage the entire network...
Recent years, low-cost computers are sold, and are introduced many also such computers in educational fields. Since a significant improvement in performance of such computers, updating the equipment is performed frequently. In Japan, solar photovoltaic is widely used, and the solar panels are installed to the roof of the ordinary houses. About 20 years later, solar panels will become the industrial...
