Answer added in Social Network Analysis5 Is there any algorithm to find the most weighted path from a node until it gets exhausted in a directed graph?A* for pathfinding. You have to properly set both h and f functions to match your interests. We used this for WSN routing approach at https://www.rese... [more]

Article: Evaluating decision-making performance in a grid-computing environment using DEA
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Energy saving involves two direct benefits: sustainability and cost reduction, both of which Information Technologies must be aware. In this context, clusters, grids and data centres represent the hungriest consumers of energy. Energy-saving policies for these infrastructures must be applied in order to maximize their resources. The aim of this paper is to compare how efficient these policies are in each location of a grid infrastructure. By identifying efficient policies in each location and the slack in inputs and outputs of the inefficient locations, Data Envelopment Analysis presents a very useful technique for comparing and improving efficiency level. This work enables managers to uncover any misuse of resources so that corrective action can be taken.Expert Systems with Applications 11/2012; 39(15):12061-12070. · 2.20 Impact Factor -
Article: Smart scheduling for saving energy in grid computing
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Energy saving involves two direct benefits: sustainability and cost reduction. Within the field of Informa- tion Technology, clusters, grids and data centres represent the hungriest consumers of energy and there- fore energy (saving) policies for these infrastructures should be applied in order to maximize their resources. It is proved in this paper that approximately 40% of energy can be saved in a data centre if an adequate policy is applied. Furthermore, a software tool is presented where simulations can be run and results for real scenarios can be obtained.Expert Systems with Applications 08/2012; 39(10):9443-9450. · 2.20 Impact Factor -
Article: A study on saving energy in artificial lighting by making smart use of wireless sensor networks and actuators
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This article is focused on adapting lighting conditions to user lighting preferences. A theoretical analysis of lighting conditions is carried out, and a case study is shown by means of the setup of an experimental environment and an empirical analysis of lighting conditions. Finally, a methodology for saving energy, which adjusts luminance to user preferences, is presented, and a study of the consumption results is given.IEEE Network 01/2010; · 2.24 Impact Factor -
Chapter: A Home E-Health System for Dependent People Based on OSGI
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This chapter presents a e-health system for dependent people installed in a home environment. After reviewing the state of art in e-health applications and technologies several limitations have been detected because many solutions are proprietary and lack interoperability. The developed home e-health system provides an architecture capable to integrate different telecare services in a smart home gateway hardware independent from the application layer. We propose a rule system to define users– behavior and monitor relevant events. Two example systems have been implemented to monitor patients. A data model for the e-health platform is described as well.12/2008: pages 117-130; -
Chapter: Development Environment Using FPGA For Domotics Applications Based On X10 Technology
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This communication proposes a basic software and hardware architecture of a controller for the X10 technology interface CM11A, oriented to the world of home automation. The implementation of the system is based in the use of programmable devices such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). With this controller an end user will be able to control and to manage a set of devices distributed in a domotics space08/2008: pages 150-153;
