The first wave of broadcasting algorithms exploit neighbor knowledge to reduce redundant retransmissions in mobile ad hoc wireless networks (MANETs). Self-pruning is one of such broadcast algorithm that received much attention from the research community. In self-pruning, only a subset of nodes forward the message based on certain forwarding rule. Moreover, it belongs to one of the reliable bro...

Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) are extensively utilized to model numerous physical quantities fromdifferent fields. In particular, linear SDEs used in epidemic modeling. It is crucial ensure the positivityof several an model. Numerous articles on this topic proves positivity of SDEssolutions using probabilistic tools, such as Theorem 3.1 [10]. work, we suggest alternativeway show solu...

Micro-blogging has become an important communication channel for public opinion topics with its own characteristics such as openness, timeliness and interactive and so on. Studying the propagation rules for public opinion topics in micro-blogging is important to monitor and understand Micro-blogging public opinion. In this paper, we study the spreading process of public opinion in micro-bloggin...

We propose a trust-threshold based routing protocol for delay tolerant networks, leveraging two trust thresholds for accepting recommendations and for selecting the next message carrier for message forwarding. We show that there exist optimal trust threshold values under which trust-threshold based routing performs the best in terms of message delivery ratio, message delay and message overhead....

Energy-efficient forwarding becomes important if resources and battery lifetime are limited such as in Wireless Sensor Networks. Although widely used, simple hop-based forwarding along a path from one node towards a sink can be very inefficient in terms of delivery rate as well as energy efficiency, especially in lossy environments. We will show that just minimizing the expected number of trans...

Even though long delay is permitted in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), some applications explicitly demand an upper bound imposed on message delivery delay for the application specific purpose. Despite some researcher have proposed to meet new requirement, their approaches have weakness in the point of implementation since infinite buffer space on a node or the knowledge prior the moment regard...

In this work, we introduce a framework for designing autonomic information diffusion mechanisms in intermittently connected wireless networks. Our approach is based on the use of techniques and tools drawn from evolutionary computing research, which enable to embed evolutionary features in epidemic-style forwarding mechanisms. In this way, it is possible to build a system in which information d...
