Geographic and Clustering Routing for Energy Saving in Wireless Sensor Network with Pair of Node Groups

Recently, wireless sensor network (WSN) is the popular scope of research. It uses too many applications such as military and non-military. WSN is a base of the Internet of Things (IoT), pervasive computing. It consists of many nodes which are deployed in a specific filed for sense and forward data to the destination node. Routing in WSN is a very important issue because of the limitation of the...

Practical Peer Prediction for Peer Assessment

We provide an empirical analysis of peer prediction mechanisms, which reward participants for information in settings when there is no ground truth against which to score reports. We simulate the mechanisms on a dataset of three million peer assessments from the edX MOOC platform. We evaluate different mechanisms on score variability, which is connected to fairness, risk aversion, and participa...

Text Clustering for Peer-to-Peer Networks with Probabilistic Guarantees

Text clustering is an established technique for improving quality in information retrieval, for both centralized and distributed environments. However, for highly distributed environments, such as peer-topeer networks, current clustering algorithms fail to scale. Our algorithm for peer-to-peer clustering achieves high scalability by using a probabilistic approach for assigning documents to clus...

Organisational Learning across Groups: the Consequences of Structural Embeddedness

In this paper, first, two types of social capital are analysed. The two types are particularly different with respect to their view on social relationships: a balanced type of relationship versus an unbalanced type. The effects of both types on organizational learning are discussed. This will lead to a view of social capital that is known in the literature as ‘the dark side of social capital’ a...
