A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...

the aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of information and communication technology on the structure of social networks. three major questions have been considered. first, how far does the combination of adolescent social links tend to be heterogeneous and how much is this change related to social and technological factors? second, does this alternation affect the power of adolescen...

this paper deals with the problem of user-server assignment in online social network systems. online social network applications such as facebook, twitter, or instagram are built on an infrastructure of servers that enables them to communicate with each other. a key factor that determines the facility of communication between the users and the servers is the expected transmission time (ett). a ...

Machine to machine (M2M) communication, which is also known as machine type communication (MTC), is one of the most fascinating parts of mobile communication technology and also an important practical application of the Internet of Things. The main objective of this type of communication, is handling massive heterogeneous devices with low network overheads and high security guarantees. Hence, v...

Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...

Abstract— Bot networks are a serious threat to cyber security, whose destructive behavior affects network performance directly. Detecting of infected HTTP communications is a big challenge because infected HTTP connections are clearly merged with other types of HTTP traffic. Cybercriminals prefer to use the web as a communication environment to launch application layer attacks and secretly enga...
