Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Wireless networking covers a variety of topics involving many challenges. The main concern of clustering approaches for mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to prolong the battery life of the individual sensors and the network lifetime. For a successful clustering approach the need of a powerful mechanism to safely elect a cluster head remains a challenging task in many research works that take into account the mobility of the network. In Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks: A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety the authors use an approach based on computing of the weight of each node in the network as the proposed technique to deal with this problem. They present a virtual laboratory platform (VLP) of baptized mercury allowing students and researchers to make practical work (PW) on different aspects of mobile wireless sensor networks. The authors’ choice of WSNs is motivated mainly by the use of real experiments needed in most college courses on WSNs. These usual experiments however require an expensive investment and many nodes in the classroom. The platform presented here aims at showing the feasibility the flexibility and the reduced cost using the authors’ approach. The authors demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms that contribute to the familiarization of the learners in the field of WSNs. The book will be a valuable resource for students in networking studies as well as for faculty and researchers in this area. | Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy’s thought: sense experience existence and Christianity. In doing so the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy’s sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English i. e. everything to do with meaning and the senses; it also includes the way they are conducted the direction they take the thrust or pulse in which the circulation of sense exists. Faithful to this plural understanding of sens the writings collected here aim to join Jean-Luc Nancy in the process of making-sense that animates his thinking rather than to deliver a definitive summary of his position on any given issue. They are conceived of as notes along the way documenting encounters as moments of (re)direction and recording the pulse of sense that animates them. In that spirit Nancy himself has provided each contribution with an echo in which he in turn responds to each author and thereby continues their mutual encounter. Aside from these echoes this volume includes an original essay in which Nancy reflects upon the international trajectory of his thinking; a trajectory that is to be and undoubtedly will be continued in many different directions across and around the world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy
