Multi-Hop Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks are characterized by dynamic and frequently changing topologies, bandwidth constrained variable capacity ~ links and energy-constrained operation. Nodes in such a network are usually laptops or hand held personal digital assistants (PDA), which have limited resources like battery power, CPU power, storage capacity, and transmission range. Internet Protocol (IP...

Multicast is the ability of a communication network to accept a single message from an application and to deliver copies of the message to multiple recipients at different location. With the development of Internet, Multicast is widely applied in all kinds of multimedia real-time application: distributed multimedia systems, collaborative computing, video-conferencing, distance education, etc. I...

We provide an overview of the evolution of routing from its origins, even before the ARPANET, to recent algorithms that provide some Quality of Service, focusing on unicast distributed routing algorithms. We start our scheme with shortest path routing and optimal routing and conclude it with constrained routing protocols as well as a quick review of Ad-Hoc Routing protocols. KeywordsBest-effort...

In Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), mobile nodes dynamically set up a wireless network without the presence of fixed infrastructure. In MANET, each node acts as router to send and receive the information in a multi hop fashion. Since nodes are in random movement and operated on battery power, the network topology may change frequently. Moreover, nodes are operated by limited battery power and nod...

Real-time routing is a basic element of closed-loop, real-time sensing and control, but it is very challenging due to dynamic, uncertain link/path delay. A basis of real-time routing is determining probabilistically guaranteed path delays, but this problem is NP-hard and it may well have to be solved by resource-constrained devices in a distributed manner; the highly varying nature of link/path...

guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems (its). nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. in this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by multi-hop wireless links without centralized infrastructure support. As mobile communication gains popularity, the need for suitable ad hoc routing protocols will continue to grow. Efficient dynamic routing is an important research challenge in such a network. Bandwidth constrained mobile devices use on-demand approach ...

One of the most important points in a supply chain is customer-driven modeling, which reduces the bullwhip effect in the supply chain, as well as the costs of investment on the inventory and efficient transshipment of the products. Their homogeneity is reflected in the Inventory Routing Problem, which is a combination of distribution and inventory management. This paper expands the classical In...

One of the important applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is video surveillance that includes the tasks of video data processing and transmission. Processing and transmission of image and video data in WSNs has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. This is known as Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs). WVSNs are distributed intelligent systems for collecting image or video...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has gain a lot of popularity due to much technological advancement in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). VANET provides safety and entertainment services to vehicle users. Therefore, constrained safety is a prominent feature for VANETs. Since the vehicular nodes typically moves fast than the nodes movement in other network such as Mobile Ad hoc Networks...
