With the growth of the Cloud Computing paradigm, a new challenge appears in the development of data centers: energy efficient load balancing in a dynamic and scalable environment with an undefined number of heterogeneous resources. In this context, considering that idle servers consume up to 60% of peak energy and the fact that usually the level of usage for a server is 20–30%, new load balancing...
Dependable communication capabilities, effective opportunistic resource allocation and information Dissemination strategy are amongst the most important technical requirements for the tactical Information Dissemination Management system (IDM-T). This paper introduces a mobile agent-based architecture that supports both point-to-point messaging and hierarchical data-streaming. The opportunistic resource...
Recent developments in the field of transmission line monitoring system have led to a renewed interest in wireless sensor networks, which is characterized by the strong real time, high reliability, adaptability, load balancing and so on. However, the bottleneck problem of network transmission which is likely to occur around the sink node must be taken into account. This paper proposes a new cross-layer...
Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a self-configuring, self-organizing and self-healing communications network in a mesh topology. Every node collaborates on establishing routing path to communicate with each other or use the Internet services. Even though WMN increases reliability and provides high bandwidth, selfish or malicious nodes may disrupt the network-wide collaboration and abuse the available...
Cluster technology has witnessed a tremendous inception in computing world. The technique integrates the standard computing resources to generate more processing power and other hardware strengths. The collection of interconnected stand-alone computers ensures high availability, increased throughput, scalability and improved performance. We have developed a dynamic cluster based approach for high...
Although significant efforts have been devoted in the literature to measurements of the Internet topology, little attention has been given to the qualification of routing deviations and multipath dynamics at the Autonomous System (AS) routing level. We observed Internet AS-level routes toward thousands of destinations for several weeks between 2009 and 2010 to have a better understanding of these...
The current Internet, while successful in many aspects, has a set of associated architectural and business problems. This article discusses problems of the Internet and presents challenges of the future Internet, with a particular focus on manageability. This paper advocates that the data, control, and management planes should be separated; this provides more granular path control selection for traffic...
To address the problems of resource sharing and utilization in the distributed environment, the paper aims to establish a resource overlay for the distributed system monitoring. The resource overlay can construct a logical space, and the type of the nodes in the space can be classified as host node and resource node. The host node and resource node are mapped into the logical space of network by the...
InfiniBand networks are aimed to fulfill increasing communication demand of parallel applications in high performance clusters. However, the dynamic behavior of communication load may cause bottlenecked link(s) which lead to message congestion. Congestion spreading increases latency and reduces network throughput causing important performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a congestion control...
The increasing demand for application specific processing on portable devices is driving the design with highly efficient hardware. Many applications are streamlined, and the delays of all streamline stages better be equalized. Unfortunately, loads at each stage of streamlined processing may vary depending on input data, making load monitoring and balancing very desirable hardware features. The aim...
We describe the design of a large-scale wireless sensor network for agriculture monitoring. We have deployed a prototype of 64 sensors to monitor a commercial vineyard. The system provides different software modules ranging from filtering raw data to a centralized and a distributed data storage applications. The used protocols ensure reliable and robust communication and load-balancing energy consumption...
Designing a sensor network congestion avoidance algorithm is a challenging task due to the application specific nature of these networks. The frequency of event sensing is a deciding factor in the occurence of congestion. Numerous sensors, simultaneously transmitting data, increase the probability of packet drops due to congestion close to the base station(s). In this paper, we propose a novel distributed...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks attract attentions worldwide with their great success in file sharing networks (e.g. Napster, Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Kazaa). In the last decade, numerous studies have been devoted to the problem of resource discovery in P2P networks. However, efficient resource discovery remains a key challenge for large-scale P2P networks. An investigation of existing research on resource...
In this paper, we introduce a pricing model that ensures efficient resource allocation that provides guaranteed quality of service while maximizing profit in multiservice networks. Specifically, a dynamic allocation policy is examined that relies on online measurements while each service class operates under a probabilistic bound delay constraint. We present a rigorous analysis of the properties of...
