EMEEDP: Enhanced Multi-hop Energy Efficient Distributed Protocol for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network
In WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) every sensor node sensed the data and
transmit it to the CH (Cluster head) or BS (Base Station). Sensors are randomly
deployed in unreachable areas, where battery replacement or battery charge is
not possible. For this reason, Energy conservation is the important design goal
while developing a routing and distributed protocol to increase the lifetime of
WSN. In this paper, an enhanced energy efficient distributed protocol for
heterogeneous WSN have been reported. EMEEDP is proposed for heterogeneous WSN
to increase the lifetime of the network. An efficient algorithm is proposed in
the form of flowchart and based on various clustering equation proved that the
proposed work accomplishes longer lifetime with improved QOS parameters
parallel to MEEP. A WSN implemented and tested using Raspberry Pi devices as a
base station, temperature sensors as a node and xively.com as a cloud. Users
use data for decision purpose or business purposes from xively.com using
internet.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Managing Service-Heterogeneity using Osmotic Computing
Computational resource provisioning that is closer to a user is becoming
increasingly important, with a rise in the number of devices making continuous
service requests and with the significant recent take up of latency-sensitive
applications, such as streaming and real-time data processing. Fog computing
provides a solution to such types of applications by bridging the gap between
the user and public/private cloud infrastructure via the inclusion of a "fog"
layer. Such approach is capable of reducing the overall processing latency, but
the issues of redundancy, cost-effectiveness in utilizing such computing
infrastructure and handling services on the basis of a difference in their
characteristics remain. This difference in characteristics of services because
of variations in the requirement of computational resources and processes is
termed as service heterogeneity. A potential solution to these issues is the
use of Osmotic Computing -- a recently introduced paradigm that allows division
of services on the basis of their resource usage, based on parameters such as
energy, load, processing time on a data center vs. a network edge resource.
Service provisioning can then be divided across different layers of a
computational infrastructure, from edge devices, in-transit nodes, and a data
center, and supported through an Osmotic software layer. In this paper, a
fitness-based Osmosis algorithm is proposed to provide support for osmotic
computing by making more effective use of existing Fog server resources. The
proposed approach is capable of efficiently distributing and allocating
services by following the principle of osmosis. The results are presented using
numerical simulations demonstrating gains in terms of lower allocation time and
a higher probability of services being handled with high resource utilization.Comment: 7 pages, 4 Figures, International Conference on Communication,

Power Management Techniques for Data Centers: A Survey
With growing use of internet and exponential growth in amount of data to be
stored and processed (known as 'big data'), the size of data centers has
greatly increased. This, however, has resulted in significant increase in the
power consumption of the data centers. For this reason, managing power
consumption of data centers has become essential. In this paper, we highlight
the need of achieving energy efficiency in data centers and survey several
recent architectural techniques designed for power management of data centers.
We also present a classification of these techniques based on their
characteristics. This paper aims to provide insights into the techniques for
improving energy efficiency of data centers and encourage the designers to
invent novel solutions for managing the large power dissipation of data
centers.Comment: Keywords: Data Centers, Power Management, Low-power Design, Energy

TSEP: Threshold-sensitive Stable Election Protocol for WSNs
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are expected to find wide applicability and
increasing deployment in near future. In this paper, we propose a new protocol,
Threshold Sensitive Stable Election Protocol (TSEP), which is reactive protocol
using three levels of heterogeneity. Reactive networks, as opposed to proactive
networks, respond immediately to changes in relevant parameters of interest. We
evaluate performance of our protocol for a simple temperature sensing
application and compare results of protocol with some other protocols LEACH,
DEEC, SEP, ESEP and TEEN. And from simulation results it is observed that
protocol outperforms concerning life time of sensing nodes used.Comment: 10th IEEE International Conference on Frontiers of Information
