Location management is very important in location-based services to provide services to the mobile users like banking, city guides and many more. Ubiquitous and mobile devices are the source of data in location management and its significant operations are update and search method. Some studies to improve these were presented by using optimal sequential paging, location area scheme and hierarch...

Blockchain-based IoT systems can manage devices and achieve a high level of data integrity, security, provenance. However, incorporating existing consensus protocols in many limits scalability leads to computational cost latency. In addition, location-centric characteristics applications paired with limited storage computing power bring about more limitations, primarily due the location-agnosti...

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical spatial concept formation method based on the Bayesian generative model with multimodal information e.g., vision, position and word information. Since humans have the ability to select an appropriate level of abstraction according to the situation and describe their position linguistically, e.g., "I am in my home" and "I am in front of the table," a hier...

This paper presents a multi-objective and multi-service location-allocation model with capacity planning to design a healthcare facilities network through considering a referral system. Therefore, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model containing two objective functions is proposed. The first objective function is  relates to minimization of total opening cost, minimization of tota...

E ective management of battle eld networks requires a hierarchical network management architecture wherein managers can dynamically delegate management tasks to intermediate managers. In this paper we describe a novel framework called SHAMAN Spreadsheet-based Hierarchical Architecture for MANagement which extends the traditional at SNMP management model to a hierarchical architecture. We descri...
