- 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...

- 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....

- Hands on with Outlook Live: universities choose Microsoft over Google
- Universities are increasingly moving away from in-house email and communications systems, and moving towards externally hosted systems. While that may have sounded like utter garbage and geek speak, it means universities can't afford or cope with their own email systems, so they're letting Microsoft and Google do it for them...
