routing in wireless sensor networks (wsns) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in wsns. most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

Energy-aware routing protocols can be classified into two categories, energy savers and energy balancers. Energy saver protocols are used to minimize the overall energy consumed by a wireless sensor network (WSN), while energy balancer protocols efficiently distribute the consumption of energy throughout the network. Energy saver protocols are not necessarily good at balancing energy consumptio...

To provide a reliable and efficient service, load balancing plays an important role in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There is a need to maximize the network lifetime for WSNs applications with periodic generation of data. Due to the relationship between energy consumption and network sensor node lifetime, energy consumption in a network should be minimized and balanced in order to increase n...

In the last years, the power consumption of telecommunication networks has attracted the attention of both researchers and field experts in order to contain the associated energy bills and reduce their ecological impact. Many of the proposed solutions have been focused exclusively on the reduction of the power consumption, without adequately considering more traditional network engineering obje...

Sensor node in wireless sensor network is a micro-embedded system with limited memory, energy and communication capabilities. Some nodes will run out of energy and exit the network earlier than other nodes because of the uneven energy consumption. This will lead to partial or complete paralysis of the whole wireless sensor network. A balancing algorithm based on the assistance of approaching no...

It is necessary to reduce the consumption of network node energy and the network load for solving the query design for routing algorithm in wireless sensor network, thus this article presents query gain routing algorithms and load balancing mechanism. This algorithm selects routing node by querying the routing information of gain matrix according to the successful record of historical query. Th...

Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm of large-scale distributed computing. It is a framework for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of computing resources. Load balancing is one of the main challenges in cloud computing which is required to distribute the dynamic workload across multiple nodes to ensure that no single node is overwhelmed. It helps in optimal...

Cloud computing is a fastest growing technology in the research and industry field.It provides the on demand resources to the customers on the rent basis. These resources are provided through the virtual machines. Resources required by the virtual machines can change dynamically. So load balancing in the cloud is more challenging task as compared to the traditional computing, where the resource...

While load balancing techniques have been designed and evaluated for efficient resource utilization in cloud computing, achieving energy efficiency as a consequence of load balancing often does not get direct attention. In this paper we describe two load balancing algorithms that focus on balancing workload distribution among physical hosts in the cloud infrastructure. The test results presente...
