In Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET’s), a suit of nodes which are under mobility work together to transmit data packets in multiple-hop manner without relying on any fixed or centralized infrastructure. A significant obstacle managing these networks is identifying malicious nodes, "black holes". To detect black holes, we proposed method involves broadcasting Cseq the neighboring and awaiting node's...

In the course of globalization, many enterprises change their strategies and are coupled in partnerships with suppliers, subcontractors and customers. This coupling forms supply chains comprising several geographically distributed production facilities. Production planning in a supply chain is a complicated and difficult task, as it has to be optimal both for the local manufacturing units and f...

Developing a safe and efficient collision avoidance policy for multiple robots is challenging in the decentralized scenarios where each robot generate its paths without observing other robots’ states and intents. While other distributed multirobot collision avoidance systems exist, they often require extracting agent-level features to plan a local collision-free action, which can be computation...

The recent consumer-to-consumer (C2C) Internet auction boom at eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, and other sites has added new theoretical challenges to the science of auctions. This paper uses experiments with economically-motivated human subjects to measure the operational efficiency of decentralized Internet auction mechanisms as they compare to centralized double auction mechanisms. Subjects are recruit...

The energy efficiency of manufacturing systems represents a topic of huge interest for the management of innovative production plants. In this paper, a production cell based on three operating machines has been taken into account. In particular, each machine has an independent lubrication system whose lubricant is cooled by a centralized cooling system, while the lubrication fluid temperatures ...

The construction of backbone is a fundamental problem in sensor networks. As being critical to routing, data fusion and query broadcasting, the backbone should contain as fewer nodes as possible. Meanwhile, it also should be power-efficient in order to prolong its lifetime. In this paper, we propose a novel design of backbone for sensor networks by minimizing its total transmission cost. We ter...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile hosts with wireless interfaces that form a temporary network without the aid of any fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. A MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself on the fly. The dynamic and cooperative behaviour of ad hoc networking without any centralized or unified controlling auth...
