ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. h...

Current tools available for high performance computing require that all the computing nodes used in a parallel execution be known in advance: the execution environment must know where the different “chunks” of programs will be executed, and each computer involved in the execution must be properly configured. In this paper, we describe how the Web Operating System (WOS) environment may be used t...

regulations of use of social networks, as one of the key components in these networks, serve an important role in controlling the flow of traffic. the study of the harmonization of these terms and regulations can be a significant step to avoid congestion and (users’) rejection in the network. harmonization of traffic control regulations (tcr) among social networks is one of the best solutions...

understanding cattle metabolism and its relationship with milk products is important in bovine breeding. a systemic view could lead to consequences that will result in a better understanding of existing concepts. topological indices and quantitative characterizations mostly result from the application of graph theory on biological data. in the present work, the enzyme network involved in cattle...

Current network modeling practices usually assess the network performance at specified time interval, i.e. every 5 or 10 years time horizon. Furthermore, they are usually based on partially predictable data, which are being generated through various stochastic procedures. In this research, a new quantitative based methodology which combines combinatorial optimization modeling and transportation...

the environmental rules of reverse logistic networks have caused important economic growth in the past decades. to integrate forward logistic networks with reverse logistics networks a helpful method is to design both networks simultaneously. considering more retrieval choices in modeling reverse logistic systems can be very critical. this article contains a mixed integer linear programming mod...

Increasing usage of Internet and computer networks by individuals and organizations and also attackers’ usage of new methods and tools in an attempt to endanger network security, have led to the emergence of a wide range of threats to networks. A honeypot is one of the basic techniques employed for network security improvement. It is basically designed to be attacked so as to get the attackers’...
