In this paper, we study the problem of power efficient tracking interval management for distributed target tracking wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first analyze the performance of a distributed target tracking network with one moving object, using a quantitative mathematical analysis. We show that previously proposed algorithms are efficient only for constant average velocity objects howev...

In this paper we describe the Distributed Perception Algorithm (DPA) which is partly inspired by the schooling behaviour of ‘golden shiner’ fish (Notemigonus crysoleucas). These fish display a preference for shaded habitat and recent experimental work has shown that the fish use both individual and distributed perception in navigating their environment. We assess the contribution of each elemen...

This paper addresses a new mixed integer nonlinear and linear mathematical programming economic lot sizing and scheduling problem in distributed permutation flow shop problem with number of identical factories and machines. Different products must be distributed between the factories and then assignment of products to factories and sequencing of the products assigned to each factory has to be d...
