Distributed Clustering in Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks: A Hybrid, Energy-Efficient Approach
[ Source: Purdue University ]
January 2008-
This paper presents an energy-efficient distributed clustering approach for ad-hoc sensor networks. The approach is hybrid: cluster heads are randomly selected based on their residual energy, and nodes join clusters such that communication cost is minimized. Based on this approach, the paper introduces the HEED protocol, which terminates in a constant number of iterations, independent of the network diameter. HEED operates in quasi-stationary networks where nodes are location-unaware and have equal significance.

January 2008-
This white paper accounts on the recent development of a reconfigurable user interface. A system which is created consists of a dial type of controller ’Spinner,’ and the virtual controller objects. One physical controller corresponds to one virtual controller on a PC’s display device and a user freely changes the connection on the fly. ’Spinner’ is versatile and is used for various purposes that need connections between virtual controllers and physical controllers. By using this ....
