In order to determine hydrological behavior and water management of Sepidroud River (North of Iran-Guilan) the present study has focused on stream flow prediction by using artificial neural network. Ten years observed inflow data (2000-2009) of Sepidroud River were selected; then these data have been forecasted by using neural network. Finally, predicted results are compared to the observed dat...

u-Zone Network is a hybrid of wireless mesh and Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Such networks help to realize ubiquity through spontaneous networking. The network management for these hybrid networks is different from conventional and infrastructure based network management. Heterogeneity, mobility, dynamic topologies, physical security, and survivability make the challenge hard. We present a ...

In this paper, we study the problem of power efficient tracking interval management for distributed target tracking wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first analyze the performance of a distributed target tracking network with one moving object, using a quantitative mathematical analysis. We show that previously proposed algorithms are efficient only for constant average velocity objects howev...

In the recent decades, rapid population growth has led to the significant increase in food demand. Food supply chain has always been one of the most important and challenging management issues. Product with short age, especially foodstuffs, is the most problematic challenges for supply chain management. These challenges are mainly due to the diversity in the number of these goods, the special n...

This paper reviews some basic concepts about network management and introduces a new approach for the management of telecommunication networks, using SIS (System for the Integration of Supervision). The approach is based on the gradual integration of the existing proprietary management systems, while simultaneously moving towards the new ITU-T network management standards, namely TMN.

We consider capacity management games between airlines who transport passengers over a joint airline network. Passengers are likely to purchase alternative tickets of the same class from competing airlines if they do not get tickets from their preferred airlines. We propose a Nash and a generalized Nash game model for such a capacity competition problem over a network. These two models are base...

Automation of network management starting from existing systems or otherwise, requires technical and non-technical understanding of the related network and systems. This is at times unavailable. In this work absence of, or delay in access to the required information is addressed by starting with simple assumptions about the network and its management. First, a very general framework is describe...
