through a collection of cooperative agents called ants, the near optimal solution to the multi-reservoir operation problem may be effectively achieved employing ant colony optimization algorithms (acoas). the problem is approached by considering a finite operating horizon, classifying the possible releases from the reservoir(s) into pre-determined intervals, and projecting the problem on a grap...

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...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

in recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. on-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

Abstract The NASA LIS/WRF‐Hydro system is a coupled modeling framework that combines the and data assimilation (DA) capabilities of Land Information System (LIS) with multi‐scale surface hydrological WRF‐Hydro model, both which are widely used in operations research. This builds on linkage between land models (LSMs), simulate boundary conditions atmospheric models, distributed hydrologic horizo...

in mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.since all nodes in the manets would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. so evaluating the perf...
