FCS-MBFLEACH: Designing an Energy-Aware Fault Detection System for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) include large-scale sensor nodes that are densely distributed over a geographical region that is completely randomized for monitoring, identifying, and analyzing physical events. The crucial challenge in wireless sensor networks is the very high dependence of the sensor nodes on limited battery power to exchange information wirelessly as well as the non-rechargeable battery of the wireless sensor nodes, which makes the management and monitoring of these nodes in terms of abnormal changes very difficult. These anomalies appear under faults, including hardware, software, anomalies, and attacks by raiders, all of which affect the comprehensiveness of the data collected by wireless sensor networks. Hence, a crucial contraption should be taken to detect the early faults in the network, despite the limitations of the sensor nodes. Machine learning methods include solutions that can be used to detect the sensor node faults in the network. The purpose of this study is to use several classification methods to compute the fault detection accuracy with different densities under two scenarios in regions of interest such as MB-FLEACH, one-class support vector machine (SVM), fuzzy one-class, or a combination of SVM and FCS-MBFLEACH methods. It should be noted that in the study so far, no super cluster head (SCH) selection has been performed to detect node faults in the network. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the FCS-MBFLEACH method has the best performance in terms of the accuracy of fault detection, false-positive rate (FPR), average remaining energy, and network lifetime compared to other classification methods

Machine learning for Internet of Things data analysis: A survey
Rapid developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies have
allowed the emergence of Internet-connected sensory devices that provide
observation and data measurement from the physical world. By 2020, it is
estimated that the total number of Internet-connected devices being used will
be between 25 and 50 billion. As the numbers grow and technologies become more
mature, the volume of data published will increase. Internet-connected devices
technology, referred to as Internet of Things (IoT), continues to extend the
current Internet by providing connectivity and interaction between the physical
and cyber worlds. In addition to increased volume, the IoT generates Big Data
characterized by velocity in terms of time and location dependency, with a
variety of multiple modalities and varying data quality. Intelligent processing
and analysis of this Big Data is the key to developing smart IoT applications.
This article assesses the different machine learning methods that deal with the
challenges in IoT data by considering smart cities as the main use case. The
key contribution of this study is presentation of a taxonomy of machine
learning algorithms explaining how different techniques are applied to the data
in order to extract higher level information. The potential and challenges of
machine learning for IoT data analytics will also be discussed. A use case of
applying Support Vector Machine (SVM) on Aarhus Smart City traffic data is
presented for a more detailed exploration.Comment: Digital Communications and Networks (2017
A Survey of Anticipatory Mobile Networking: Context-Based Classification, Prediction Methodologies, and Optimization Techniques
A growing trend for information technology is to not just react to changes, but anticipate them as much as possible. This paradigm made modern solutions, such as recommendation systems, a ubiquitous presence in today's digital transactions. Anticipatory networking extends the idea to communication technologies by studying patterns and periodicity in human behavior and network dynamics to optimize network performance. This survey collects and analyzes recent papers leveraging context information to forecast the evolution of network conditions and, in turn, to improve network performance. In particular, we identify the main prediction and optimization tools adopted in this body of work and link them with objectives and constraints of the typical applications and scenarios. Finally, we consider open challenges and research directions to make anticipatory networking part of next generation networks
Prediction-based techniques for the optimization of mobile networks
Mención Internacional en el título de doctorMobile cellular networks are complex system whose behavior is characterized by the superposition
of several random phenomena, most of which, related to human activities, such as mobility,
communications and network usage. However, when observed in their totality, the many individual
components merge into more deterministic patterns and trends start to be identifiable and
predictable.
In this thesis we analyze a recent branch of network optimization that is commonly referred to
as anticipatory networking and that entails the combination of prediction solutions and network
optimization schemes. The main intuition behind anticipatory networking is that knowing in
advance what is going on in the network can help understanding potentially severe problems and
mitigate their impact by applying solution when they are still in their initial states. Conversely,
network forecast might also indicate a future improvement in the overall network condition (i.e.
load reduction or better signal quality reported from users). In such a case, resources can be
assigned more sparingly requiring users to rely on buffered information while waiting for the
better condition when it will be more convenient to grant more resources.
In the beginning of this thesis we will survey the current anticipatory networking panorama
and the many prediction and optimization solutions proposed so far. In the main body of the work,
we will propose our novel solutions to the problem, the tools and methodologies we designed to
evaluate them and to perform a real world evaluation of our schemes.
By the end of this work it will be clear that not only is anticipatory networking a very promising
theoretical framework, but also that it is feasible and it can deliver substantial benefit to current
and next generation mobile networks. In fact, with both our theoretical and practical results we
show evidences that more than one third of the resources can be saved and even larger gain can
be achieved for data rate enhancements.Programa Oficial de Doctorado en Ingeniería TelemáticaPresidente: Albert Banchs Roca.- Presidente: Pablo Serrano Yañez-Mingot.- Secretario: Jorge Ortín Gracia.- Vocal: Guevara Noubi
High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications
This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1406 “High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet)“ project. Long considered important pillars of the scientific method, Modelling and Simulation have evolved from traditional discrete numerical methods to complex data-intensive continuous analytical optimisations. Resolution, scale, and accuracy have become essential to predict and analyse natural and complex systems in science and engineering. When their level of abstraction raises to have a better discernment of the domain at hand, their representation gets increasingly demanding for computational and data resources. On the other hand, High Performance Computing typically entails the effective use of parallel and distributed processing units coupled with efficient storage, communication and visualisation systems to underpin complex data-intensive applications in distinct scientific and technical domains. It is then arguably required to have a seamless interaction of High Performance Computing with Modelling and Simulation in order to store, compute, analyse, and visualise large data sets in science and engineering. Funded by the European Commission, cHiPSet has provided a dynamic trans-European forum for their members and distinguished guests to openly discuss novel perspectives and topics of interests for these two communities. This cHiPSet compendium presents a set of selected case studies related to healthcare, biological data, computational advertising, multimedia, finance, bioinformatics, and telecommunications
