IDSs based on Stand-alone Architecture for MANET: A Survey

A Survey of Current, Stand-alone OWL Reasoners

We present a survey of the current OWL reasoner landscape. Through literature and web search we have identified 35 OWL reasoners that are, at least to some degree, actively maintained. We conducted a survey directly addressing the respective developers, and collected 33 responses. We present an analysis of the survey, characterising all reasoners across a wide range of categories such as suppor...

A Survey on QoS Based Routing Protocols for MANET

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), the provision of quality of service (QoS) guarantees is much more challenging mainly due to node mobility and resource constraints. Therefore it is important that routing protocols incorporate QoS metrics in route finding and maintenance to support end-to-end QoS. The traditional AODV protocol seems less satisfactory in terms of routing data to end systems. M...

An application of vector based swarm optimization for designing MPPT controller of a stand-alone PV System

In this paper, the Vector Based Swarm Optimization method is used for designing an optimal controller for the maximum power point tracker of a stand-alone PV System. The proposed algorithm is executed on vectors in a multi-dimension vector space. These vectors by appropriated orientation converge to a global optimum while the algorithm runs. The Remarkable point of the VBSO algorithm is how us...

Stand-Alone Hardware-Based Learning System

The probabilistic Random Access Memory (pRAM) is a biologically-inspired model of a neuron. The pRAM behaviour is described in this paper in relation to binary and real-valued input vectors. The pRAM is hardware-realisable, as is its reinforcement training algorithm. The pRAM model may be applied to a wide range of artificial neural network applications, many of which are classification tasks. ...
