TL;DR: A modified clustering algorithm with a three-tier energy setting, where energy consumption among sensor nodes is adaptive to their energy levels, is proposed, which results in an extended network stability period.
Abstract: While wireless sensor networks WSN are increasingly equipped to handle more complex functions, in-network processing still requires the battery-powered sensors to judiciously use their constrained energy so as to prolong the elective network life time. There are a few protocols using sensor clusters to coordinate the energy consumption in a WSN, but how to deal with energy heterogeneity remains a research question. The authors propose a modified clustering algorithm with a three-tier energy setting, where energy consumption among sensor nodes is adaptive to their energy levels. A theoretical analysis shows that the proposed modifications result in an extended network stability period. Simulation has been conducted to evaluate the new clustering algorithm against some existing algorithms under different energy heterogeneity settings, and favourable results are obtained especially when the energy levels are significantly imbalanced.

TL;DR: A Mobile Agent based QoS (MAQ) platform has been planned in this paper that uses an improved clustering algorithm during data communication that significantly improves the overall network performance resulting better throughput and packet delivery ratio.
Abstract: Protected data transmission in cluster based Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) is a challenging mission due to the high level of node mobility of nodes and resource constrained autonomous stations during packet routing. To target this mission, a Mobile Agent based QoS (MAQ) platform has been planned in this paper that uses an improved clustering algorithm during data communication. A Mobile agent architecture has been anticipated in a way that it is coupled with the cluster head of every cluster in MANET and when priority based real time application gets notified in these clusters then the proposed system gets activated to support prioritized service to these applications including checking and monitoring the flow characteristics for real time applications. JADE (Java Agent Development Environment) based prioritized scheme at the mobile agent has been implemented in the proposed system. As this is a function oriented approach, so the overall network performance significantly improves resulting better throughput and packet delivery ratio.

TL;DR: The approach is based only on information in the IP layer, eliminating the privacy issues associated with deep-packet inspection and recommends that the classification must be done within the authority of the Internet service providers (ISP) in order to detect communities of peers.
Abstract: We present a new approach using data-mining technique and, in particular, decision tree to classify peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic in IP networks. We captured the Internet traffic at a main gateway router, performed preprocessing on the data, selected the most significant attributes, and prepared a training-data set to which the decision-tree algorithm was applied. We built several models using a combination of various attribute sets for different ratios of P2P to non-P2P traffic in the training data. We observed that the accuracy of the model increases significantly when we include the attributes “Src IP addr” and “Dst IP addr” in building the model. By detecting communities of peers, we achieved classification accuracy of higher than 98%. Consequently, we recommend that: (a) the classification must be done within the authority of the Internet service providers (ISP) in order to detect communities of peers, and (b) the decision tree needs to be frequently trained to ensure the fairness and correctness of the classification algorithm. Our approach is based only on information in the IP layer, eliminating the privacy issues associated with deep-packet inspection.

TL;DR: The authors present how the business world is using the social network site as a new communication channel to reach customers and examine other possible uses for Twitter in a business context.
Abstract: This paper examines the services people seek out on Twitter and the integration of Twitter into businesses. Twitter has experienced tremendous growth in users over the past few years, from users sharing to the world what they had for lunch to their opinions on world events. As a social media website, Twitter has become the third most popular behind only Facebook and YouTube. Its user base statistics ensure a wide audience for business to engage with. However, many find this a daunting prospect as there are no set guidelines as to how business might use the service. The ability to post quick short messages for the whole of the social network to see has encouraged people to use this microblogging platform to comment and share attitudes on company brands and products. The authors present how the business world is using the social network site as a new communication channel to reach customers and examine other possible uses for Twitter in a business context. This paper also discusses how Twitter plans to move forward and evolve with its service, ensuring that personal, business and third party developers' best interests are catered to.

TL;DR: According to the presented, hybrid systems which combine different renewable energy sources outperform those with only one energy source, and depend on the configuration of base stations installed on a particular site, such systems can offer autonomous functionality throughout the year.
Abstract: An overview of research activity in the area of powering base station sites by means of renewable energy sources is given. It is shown that mobile network operators express significant interest for powering remote base stations using renewable energy sources. This is because a significant percentage of remote base station sites on the global level are still diesel powered due to lack of connections to the electricity grid. Besides huge expenses that mobile operators pay for diesel fuel and its transport to base station sites, it is pointed out that such base station sites represent major pollutants due to enormous green-house gas emissions. Since base stations are major consumers of cellular networks energy with significant contribution to operational expenditures, powering base stations sites using the energy of wind, sun, fuel cells or a combination gain mobile operators’ attention. It is shown that powering base station sites with such renewable energy sources can significantly reduce energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of the base station sites in rural areas. In addition, technical descriptions of the different power supply systems based on renewable sources with corresponding energy controllers for scheduling the flow of energy to power base station sites are discussed. According to the presented, hybrid systems which combine different renewable energy sources outperform those with only one energy source, and depend on the configuration of base stations installed on a particular site, such systems can offer autonomous functionality throughout the year.
