Aim of the book is to present recent improvements, innovative ideas and concepts in a part of a huge EA field

A fast pessimistic diagnosis algorithm for generalized hypercube multicomputer systems

[[abstract]]The reliability of processors is an important issue for designing amassively parallel processing system for which fault-tolerant computing is crucial. In order to achieve high system reliability and availability, a faulty processor (node) when found should be replaced by a fault-free processor. Within a multiprocessor system, the technique of identifying faulty nodes by constructing tests on the nodes and interpreting the test outcomes is known as system-level diagnosis. The topological structure of a multicomputer system can be modeled by a graph of which the vertices and edges correspond to nodes and links of the system, respectively. This work presents a system-level diagnosis algorithm for a generalized hypercube which is an attractive variance of a hypercube. The proposed algorithm is based on the PMC model and can isolate all faulty nodes to within a set which contains at most one fault-free node. If the total number of nodes to be diagnosed in a generalized hypercube is N, the proposed algorithm can run in O(N logN) time, and being superior to Yang's algorithm proposed in 2004, it can diagnose not only a hypercube but also a generalized hypercube.[[note]]SC

Efficient Passive Clustering and Gateways selection MANETs

Passive clustering does not employ control packets to collect topological information in ad hoc networks. In our proposal, we avoid making frequent changes in cluster architecture due to repeated election and re-election of cluster heads and gateways. Our primary objective has been to make Passive Clustering more practical by employing optimal number of gateways and reduce the number of rebroadcast packets
