The application of WSN is emerging as a new trend in different sphere of modern society. However due to the advancement of SWE, discovering sensor web registry services throughout heterogeneous environments is becoming a challenging task and raises several concerns like performance, reliability, and robustness. Many approaches and frameworks have been proposed to discover the sensor web registry services. Some of the approaches assume that the requests are placed in SOAP compatible formats while others focus on GUI based parametric query processing. We have formulated an approach that uses the Natural Language Query Processing which is a convenient and easy method of sensor data access in comparison to SQL or XML based Query Language like XQuery and XPath. We also propose an architecture based on x-SOA that organizes the method of sensor web registry service discovery in an efficient and structured manner using an intermediary, requester friendly layer called the Request Parser & Query Generator (RPQ) between the service provider and service requester via a service registry. We describe how RPQ facilitates the processing of plain text request query to a most appropriate sensor web service and also an algorithm with implementation for a complete cycle of sensor web registry service discovery.
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a high-performance and low cost solution to last-mile broadband Internet access. Wireless mesh networks have emerged as a potential technology for nextgeneration wireless networking. WMNs have been widely accepted in the traditional application sectors of ad hoc networks because of their advantages over other wireless networks. With increasing demand for real-time services in the next generation wireless networks, quality-of-service (QoS) based routing offers significant challenges in WMNs. WMNs consist of mesh routers and mesh clients where fixed mesh routers form the multi-hop backbone of the network and it is assumed that each individual mesh client will follow the prescribed protocols. However, these mobile devices, owned by individual users, will likely do what is the most beneficial to their owners, i.e. act 'selfishly'. Traffic routing plays a critical role in determining the performance of wireless mesh networks. Routing in any network has a great impact on the overall network performance, thus a routing protocol or an algorithm for WMNs should be carefully designed taking into account the specific characteristics of that network. In addition, in wireless networks, serious unfairness can occur between users if the issue is not addressed in the network protocols or algorithms. In this paper, we formulate the problem of routing as a network optimization problem, and present a general LP (linear programming) formulation for modeling the problem. We propose the optimized algorithm for known traffic demand and then explain the performance ratio for this. The routing algorithms derived from these formulations usually claim analytical properties such as optimal resource utilization and throughput fairness. Our simulation results demonstrate that our statistical problem formulation could effectively incorporate the traffic demand uncertainty in routing optimization, and its algorithm outperforms the algorithm which only considers the static traffic demand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
