In recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. On-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. Whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

We present a first simplified version of the MultiObjective Dynamic Routing (MODR) method, more suitable for a realistic network environment as the computational effort is very much reduced while good results can still be reached. The simplified version presented herein is based on the results obtained from a discrete event simulation study which shows that, in case of overload, more important ...

In engineering, flood routing is an important technique necessary for the solution of a floodcontrol problem and for the satisfactory operation of a flood-prediction service. A simple conceptual model like the Muskingum model is very effective for the flood routing process. One challenge in application of the Muskingum model is that its parameters cannot be measured physically. In this article ...

Consider N stations interconnected with links, each of capacity K, forming a complete graph. Calls arrive to link at rate λ and depart 1. If call arrives xy, connecting x y, which is capacity, then third station z chosen uniformly random the attempted be routed via z: if both links xz zy have spare held simultaneously on these two; otherwise lost. We analyse an approximation this model. show ri...

NeuroGrid is an adaptive decentralized search system. NeuroGrid nodes support distributed search through semantic routing (forwarding of queries based on content), and a learning mechanism that dynamically adjusts metadata describing the contents of nodes and the files that make up those contents. NeuroGrid is an open-source project, and prototype software has been made available at http://www....

Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSANs) offer an appealing communication technology for process automation applications. However, such networks pose unique challenges due to their critical demands on reliability and real-time performance. While industrial WSANs have received attention in the research community, most published results to date focused on the theoretical aspects and were evaluat...

This document describes a generic Cognitive Adaptive Module (CAM) that can be utilized in conjunction with Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols. The main concept behind CAM is the fact that the provisioning of multimedia communications traditionally requires routing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees [9]. Such a task is NP Complete in MANETs when QoS optimization is subject to more ...

A real time methodology with full routing flexibility is used for minimizing mean flow time in FMS. The combination of flexible alternative machines and flexible alternative operation sequences are used to obtain the full routing flexibility in flexible manufacturing system. Full routing flexibility offers decreasing cost, reducing waiting time and increasing efficiency. This paper presents an ...
