This network will generate tremendous unstructured or semi structured data that should be shared between different devices/machines for advanced and automated se...

The population ageing is a demographical phenomenon that will intensify in the upcoming decades, leading to an increased number of older persons that live independently. These elderly prefer to stay at home rather than going to special health care association. Thus, new tele-health smart home care systems (TSHCS) are needed in order to provide heal...

The increasing number of older persons living independently, in parallel with the considerable number of individuals with chronic diseases or disabilities, in addition to the evolution in sensors/actuators technologies, wireless communication and cloud storage have empowered the idea of new smart home systems (SHS). These systems help to keep indiv...

The objective consists to determine the optimal...

This paper gives an overview of the European level standard proposal for smart wireless body area networks (WBAN). Under the mandate of European Telecommunication Standards Institute ETSI, a technical committee TC SmartBAN was formed in 2013. The goal of the TC SmartBAN is to define a standard for low power devices and networks to be used in short...

The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical devices have empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In these networks various sensors are attached on clothing or on the body or even implanted inside the body. The wireless nature of the network and the wide variety of sensors lead to...

Peer-to-peer technologies have emerged as a powerful and scalable communication model for large scale content sharing. However, they are not yet provided with optimized heterogeneous aggregated content management functionality since they lack rich semantic specifications. To overcome these shortcomings, we elaborated a reference model of P2P archit...

Energy consumption is among the major problems faced by cellular operators. In metropolitan areas, cellular network is divided into smaller cells due to high traffic. During low traffic period e.g., at midnight, Base Stations are underutilized but remain active and consume energy. In this paper, we propose two signaling frameworks for pooling the B...

In this paper, we talk about Sensor Networks,their different applications and problems encountered, precisely the routing problem which constitutes a major constraint in this type of networks. To address some of the limitations, a new protocol,called Energy Based Protocol (EBP), was proposed. EBP operates under different scenarios and showed, after...

The great success of social technologies such as media sharing, blogs and wikis, is transforming the Internet into a collaborative community.

The development of new research paradigms is usually not supported by a proof-of-concept that helps to showcase the potential impact of the research concept behind. Personal Networking is an emerging concept which combines pervasive computing and strong user focus. The idea is that the user’s personal devices organize themselves in a secure and pri...

Despite the inaccuracy of long-term technology forecasts there seems to be a strong consensus that new technologies should be centred on the user, improving the quality of life and adapting to the individual, without the need to be aware of the technical details. The environment needs to become smarter, more responsive, and more accommodating to th...

This paper covers sensor networks, their different applications and problems encountered and in particular the routing problem which constitutes a major constraint in sensor networks today.

The most efficient speciation methods suffer from a quite high complexity from O(n c(n)) to O(n 2 ), where c(n) is a factor that can be proportional to n, the population size. In this paper, a speciation method based on a classification tree is presented, having a complexity of O(n log n). The population is considered as a set of attribute vectors...
