Emissions resulted from transportation activities may lead to dangerous effects on the whole environment and human health. According to sustainability principles, in recent years researchers attempt to consider the environmental burden of logistics activities in traditional logistics problems such as vehicle routing problems (VRPs). The pollution-routing problem (PRP) is an extension of the VRP...

We describe the adaptive source routing (ASR) method which is a first attempt to combine adaptive routing and source routing methods. In ASR, the adaptivity of each packet is determined at the source processor. Every packet can be routed in a fully adaptive or partially adaptive or non–adaptive manner, all within the same network at the same time. We evaluate and compare performance of the prop...

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...

Effective and congestion-aware routing is vital to the performance of network-on-chip. The efficient routing algorithm undoubtedly relies on the considered selection strategy. If the routing function returns a number of more than one permissible output ports, a selection function is exploited to choose the best output port to reduce packets latency. In this paper, we introduce a new selection s...

The issues of adaptive multicast wormhole routing in 2D mesh multicomputers are studied. Three adaptive multicast wormhole routing strategies are proposed and evaluated. The methods include minimal partially-adaptive, minimal fully-adaptive, and nonminimal adaptive routing. All the algorithms, which are the rst deadlock-free adaptive multicast wormhole routing algorithms ever proposed, are show...

With the advancement of wireless communication, software engineering and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, the sensor nodes are much more capable now and have found their application in many areas of life. In view of this, the design of efficient routing protocols is very critical. The routing protocols need to be adaptive to cater the wide variety of applications of wireless ...
