Recently, a tremendous interest has been concentrated on the design and development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) — distributed systems comprised of numerous wireless, sensor devices deployed densely in a sensing area. Battery powered sensors need efficient management due to limited energy resources, and energy conservation is a vital design issue that needs to be boosted in order to increase...
One of the major concern of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is to minimize the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. In multi-hop clustering, sensor nodes closer to the Base Station (BS) deplete their energy faster as compared to far away nodes. Transmission of own data as well as other nodes data by the nearer nodes is the prime cause for this uneven energy consumption. Hence, the nodes closer...
Telemetrie Sensing Node Network System(TSNNS) is so available to monitor Landslide Disaster(LD) occurred on slopes of mountain and hill. TSNNS consists of three main systems; Local Sensing Node Network System(LSNNS) arranged on the slopes, Cloud System and Host System(HS) at a remote place far from the area of LSNNS. In disaster measurement for landslide, the measuring system needs characteristic...
E-health is one of the domains which will need more and more IoT solutions in the future, as it requires short delays for life-dependency situations and safe local storage spaces for privacy matters. The emergency context demands efficient communication and computing capacities, and the cloud vision as well as traditional TCP/IP way of communication cannot really suit these requirements. New approaches...
Industrial IoT networks are typically used for monitoring systems and supporting control loops, as well as for movement detection systems, process control and factory automation. To this end, data generated by monitoring IoT devices are collected, elaborated and sent to controllers and actuators. The routing of data from IoT sensors to actuators is an integral part of any large-scale industrial network...
The inherent nature of unattended sensors makes these devices most vulnerable to detection, exploitation, and denial in contested environments. Physical access is often cited as the easiest way to compromise any device or network. A new mechanism for mitigating these types of attacks developed under the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, ASD(R&E) project, “Smoke Screen...
Event detection has become a ubiquitous application in the domain of wireless sensor networks. In any distributed event detection system, duplicate event data that can increase the likelihood of network congestion is a primary concern, and in-network data aggregation is a popular approach to alleviate this problem; similarly, duplicate data can be discarded. We propose a novel approach that utilises...
Smart environments based on Internet of Things (IoT) are very active area of research. Another task highly relevant in today's world is emergency management and situation awareness support systems. Integration of these technologies promises to make our lives safer in the face of natural disasters, emergencies or weapon attacks. In this paper, we suggest an innovative IoT-based solution for informing...
This paper shows the study on telemetric sensing network system for landslide disaster surveillance. The sensing network system consists of Local Sensing Node Network System (LSNNS) and Host System (HS). They are connected by dual way communication. LSNNS is placed at monitoring area (slope of mountains and hills). LSNNS is a network of distributed sensing nodes. HS is placed at a remote location...
Most home sensor devices nowadays is based on low data rate and on-demand routing protocol such as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV). This routing protocol has less overhead and good efficiency in term of delivery ratio and bandwidth. AODV has two phases the route discover phase which discover route to the destination devices based on the shortest and the freshest hop, and the data delivery...
The scalable and massively parallel computing systems composed of many processors, which are connected on chips that will become more and more complex and unreliable. This paper presents a bio-inspired error tolerance framework and three design principles based on the Autonomous Error Tolerant (AET) architecture. A nearby error perception mechanism is carefully designed to detect faults and an initiative...
Mobile Crowd Sensing Networks (MCSN) treat the ordinary users with their mobile devices as the basic sensing units, and leverage them to distribute complex social sensing tasks and collect sensing data with each other by the mobile networks. To improve the efficiency and the feasibility of data sensing, collection and transmission in MCSN, we propose an opportunistic data transmission mechanism based...

A mathematical model taking with road capacity and radio interferences is proposed to evaluate optimal AP density in the field...
This article presents a framework and develops a formulation to solve a path planning problem for multiple heterogeneous Unmanned Vehicles (UVs) with uncertain service times for each vehicle-target pair. The vehicles incur a penalty proportional to the duration of their total service time in excess of a preset constant. The vehicles differ in their motion constraints and are located at distinct depots...
Most of the routing algorithms for unmanned vehicles, that arise in data gathering and monitoring applications in the literature, rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS) information for localization. However, disruption of GPS signals either intentionally or unintentionally could potentially render these algorithms not applicable. In this article, we present a novel method to address this difficulty...
In this paper, two hybrid multi-hop/single-hop opportunistic transmission strategies for lifetime extension of WSNs are proposed. To prolong the network lifetime, a systematic model that contains a network distribution block, a routing algorithm block, a traffic pattern block and an optimal policy block is presented to determine the optimal transmission probability of each node. With the global routing...
The U.S. Department of Energy and Transportation considers pipeline security and the timely containment of leaks as a top priority for the oil and natural gas industry. However, despite significant investment in network sensing and maintenance, utilities still incur significant delays (and associated losses) in managing failures. This article focuses on the use of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUASs)...
Future intelligent transportation systems and applications are expected to greatly benefit from the integration with a cloud computing infrastructure for service reliability and efficiency.
