This paper presents an investigation on the optimum number of neighbors for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The MANETs are self-configuring and self-organizing networks. In such a network, energyconstrained nodes share limited bandwidth to send their packets destinations. have transmission range they rely deliver packets. Hence, must be associated with required (i.e., optimum) neighbors. As is...

This paper presents a hybrid heuristic for constrained resource allocation in PERT type networks. Here, the assumption is made that the constrained resource is renewable for allocation to the activities of project. In addition, we consider finish-start precedence constraints with zero time lag. The activities durations are independent continuous random variables, preemption is not allowed and r...
