In this paper, we study the code distribution problem in multi-application wireless sensor networks (MA-WSNs), i.e., sensor networks that can support multiple applications. While MA-WSNs have many advantages over traditional WSNs, they tend to require frequent code movements in the network, and thus here new challenges for designing energy efficient code dissemination protocols. We propose MCP,...

Accurately describing the knowledge dissemination process is significant to enhance the performance of personalized education. In this study, considering the effect of periodic teaching activities on the learning process, we propose a periodic impulsive knowledge dissemination system to regenerate the knowledge dissemination process. Meanwhile, we put forward learning effectiveness which is an ...
