- Optimal Cluster Association in Two-Tiered Wireless Sensor Networks
- This paper studies the two-tiered Wireless Sensor Network WSN architecture and proposes the optimal cluster association algorithm for it to maximize the overall network lifetime. A two-tiered WSN is formed by number of small Sensor Nodes SNs, powerful Application Nodes ANs, and Base-Stations (BSs, or gateways). SNs capture, encode, and...

- New molecules for a faster Internet
- An international team of researchers has discovered a new generation of optical molecules which interact 50% more strongly with light than any molecules ever tested. These organic molecules, known as chromophores, have been theorized by physicists at Washington State University, synthesized by chemists in China and tested for their actual...

- Time-Optimum Packet Scheduling for Many-to-One Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
- This paper studies the WSN application scenario with periodical traffic from all sensors to a sink. This paper presents a time-optimum and energy-efficient packet scheduling algorithm and its distributed implementation. With a few adjustments, it then shows that the algorithm also achieves time-optimum scheduling in heterogeneous scenarios, where each sensor...

- Detecting Packet Mishandling in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
- Mobile Ad-hoc networks are inherently prone to security attacks, with node mobility being the primary cause in allowing security breaches. This makes the network susceptible to Byzantyne faults with packets getting misrouted or dropped. This paper proposes solutions using an unobtrusive monitoring technique to locate malicious packet dropping. This technique...

- On Througput of Multipath Data Transmission Over Multihop Ad Hoc Networks
- Data transmission in ad hoc networks involves interactions between MAC-layer protocol and data forwarding along network-layer paths. These interactions have been shown to have significant effect on system performance. In this paper, their impact on the multipath data transmission system over multihop IEEE 802.11 MAC-based ad hoc networks is studied....

- Washington State University Uses FrontPage 2000 to Build and Manage Site
- In order to attract prospective students to its campus, Washington State University WSU Spokane relies heavily upon its Web site. Few years ago, the campus's Internet presence consisted of piecemeal and disjointed information, most of it designed by student contractors using a wide variety of development tools. As more and...

- University Improves Instruction With Range of Easy-to-Distribute Software
- Washington State University WSU was having difficulty providing its students and faculty with the developer software necessary for a high-quality education. In many of its courses, WSU used technologies from Microsoft and other software companies. But those tools were costly, and students were limited to using them only in university...
