Communication Models for Resource Constrained Hierarchical Ethernet Networks

Asymmetric communication models for resource-constrained hierarchical ethernet networks

Communication time prediction is critical for parallel application performance tuning, especially for the rapidly growing field of data-intensive applications. However, making such predictions accurately is nontrivial when contention exists on different components in hierarchical networks. In this article, we derive an ‘asymmetric network property’ on transmission control protocol (TCP) layer f...

Constrained Consumable Resource Allocation in Uncertain Project Networks with Fuzzy Activity Duration

A New Bi-Objective Model for a Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with Discounted Cash Flows and four Payment Models

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...

Constrained consumable resource allocation in alternative stochastic networks via multi-objective decision making

Many real projects complete through the realization of one and only one path of various possible network paths. Here, these networks are called alternative stochastic networks (ASNs). It is supposed that the nodes of considered network are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of t...

Key Management Schemes for Secure Communication in Heterogeneous Sensor Networks

Hierarchical Sensor Network organization is widely used to achieve energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN). To achieve security in hierarchical WSN, it is important to be able to encrypt the messages sent between sensor nodes and its cluster head. The key management task is challenging due to resource constrained nature of WSN. In this paper we are proposing two key management scheme...
