Lack of infrastructure, Route discovery management and Energy consumption monitoring in MANET poses very big challenges for researchers working in this field. The existing protocols like Link State Routing, Destination Sequence Distance Vector, Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy and Parno Luk Gaustad Perrig (PLGP) are not well suited for decentralized schemes because of the energy constraint...

—Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are selforganizing, rapidly deployable networks without any fixed infrastructure. In MANETs, mobile terminals can move freely, which cause frequent link breakage. Due to the dynamic nature of the network, finding a stable route for transmitting data is a challenging task. In order to adapt to the topological changes and provide some quality of service (QoS), th...

In Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs), the geographic routing is a preferred choice for data transmission due to the unique characteristics of underwater environment such as the three dimensional topology, the limited bandwidth and power resources. This paper focuses on underwater routing protocols in the network layer, where underwater sensor nodes can collaborate with each other to t...

The goal of this paper is to analyze drivers’ en-route divergence behaviors when a road way is blocked by a car incident. The Extended Belief-Desire-Intention (E-BDI) framework is adopted in this work to mimic real drivers’ uncertain en-route planning behaviors based on the drivers’ perceptions and experiences. The proposed approach is implemented in Java-based E-BDI modules and DynusT traffic ...

The paper addresses mobility control routing in robotic sensor wireless networks, where either mobile sensors or mobile actuators assist in wireless data intensive transmissions from sensors. Given a communication request between a source destination pair, the problem is to find a route and move each node on the route to its desired location, such that total transmission power is minimized. We ...

The optimal sequenced route (OSR) query performs a critical role in finding the most economical route for a trip, for instance, location base services. OSR finds the minimum-length route, starting from an origin location and passing through a number of locations or points of interest (POIs), following the prespecified route sequence. An OSR query on road networks tends to expand an extremely la...

Route suggestions for public transportation has been integrated to different mapping services such as Google Maps or Bing Maps. However, those suggestions are often found to be unreliable for the end-users, mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, these route-finding techniques do not consider traffic conditions on the roads. Secondly, routes are generalized for every user, completely ignoring t...

3D network analysis for indoor provides strong decision support for users in searching optimal routes on applications such as emergency services, transportation, security and visitor guiding. Genetic algorithm is used to solve non-linear problems with complicated constraints. Therefore, the implementation of genetic algorithm into route finding algorithms is needed. This paper explains the dema...
