Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm of large-scale distributed computing. It is a framework for enabling convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of computing resources. Load balancing is one of the main challenges in cloud computing which is required to distribute the dynamic workload across multiple nodes to ensure that no single node is overwhelmed. It helps in optimal ...

In energy-limited WSNs, coverage and connectivity are two of the most fundamental QoS issues, which have a great impact on the performance of WSNs for minimizing the node energy consumption and maximizing the network coverage lifetime. Due to the node distribution, the energy consumption among nodes is more imbalanced in cluster-based WSNs. Based on this problem, this paper proposes Sink Mobili...

In recent years numerous specialists exhibited their remarkable energy models to cluster based energy efficient routing in Wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In wireless sensor networks, nodes execute on confined force batteries that brings about reducing its lifetime, henceforth WSNs are viewed as a force devouring plans. As the wireless sensor nodes are greatly energy based, the energy efficien...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is used in many applications for precise monitoring. The key issue in WSNs is energy conservation is the most important strategies to save energy and to prolong the lifetime of the WSNs are topology control. A reliable energy-efficient topology control protocol in wireless sensor networks is proposed, it is one of the most important techniques utilized to reduce ...

Globally, maintaining equilibrium between energy supply and demand is critical in urban areas facing increasing energy consumption and high-speed economic development. As an alternative, the large-scale application of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, might be a long-term solution in an urban context. This study assessed the overall utilization potential of a building-integrated p...

The integration of wireless sensor network (WSN) and cognitive radio (CR) technology enables a new paradigm of communication: cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSN). The existing WSN clustering algorithm cannot consider the advantage of channel resource brought by CR function in CRSN, and the CR network (CRN) clustering algorithm is designed based on the infinite energy nodes; thus both algorit...

The utilization level of the new meter assets and system support sets the amount of new services and internal efficiency that can be provide by the investment. Optimizations in terms of streamlined business processes, reduced costs, increased profit, lower end-us...

Due to the particularities of the underwater environment, some negative factors will seriously interfere with data transmission rates, reliability of data communication, communication range, and network throughput and energy consumption of underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). Thus, full consideration of node energy savings, while maintaining a quick, correct and effective data transmission, exte...

Environmental sustainability is one of the most important topics of our time. Energy consumption is a significant aspect of environmental sustainability, as it is a major source of pollution. In order to determine how information systems can assist organizations in reducing energy consumption, we first identify energy-related activities of organizations by examining the content of 4,999 sustain...
