An Unequal Cluster-based Routing Protocol Based on Data Controlling for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) differ from traditional wireless communication networks in several characteristics. One of these characteristics is power awarness, due to the fact that the batteries of sensor nodes have a restricted lifetime and are difficult to be replaced. Therefore, all protocols must be designed to minimize energy consumption and preserve the longevity of the network. In this paper, we propose (i) to fairly balance the load among nodes. For this, we generate an unequal clusters size where the cluster heads (CH) election is based on energy availability, (ii) to reduce the energy consumption due to the transmission by using multiple metrics in the CH jointure process and taking into account the link cost, residual energy and number of cluster members to construct the routing tree and (iii) to minimize the number of transmissions by avoiding the unnecessary updates using sensitive data controller. Simulation results show that our Advanced Energy-Efficient Unequal Clustering (AEEUC) mechanism improves the fairness energy consumption among all sensor nodes and achieves an obvious improvement on the network lifetime

Study of flat and nested transactions in TIDBMS

ACette thèse s’intéresse à l’étude des modèles de transactions plates et étendues dans les SGBD temps réel (SGBDTR). Ce travail est réalisé en deux étapes : (i) la première étape vise à aider les concepteurs à décrire et comparer les modèles de transactions temps réel, (ii) La seconde étape permet de compléter cette étude par la présentation d’une étude stochastique des performances des SGBDTR de deux modèles de transactions temps réel, à savoir le modèle de transactions plates et le modèle de transactions emboîtées. Dans la première étape, nous avons présenté le méta-modèle « MRT-ACTA » qui prend en compte les caractéristiques temporelles des transactions et de données temps réel ainsi que leurs interactions, offrant ainsi aux concepteurs la possibilité de définir de nouveaux modèles de transactions temps réel et de les comparer. La description formelle de « M-RT-ACTA » a permis de valider nos propositions. Pour compléter ce travail et ayant constaté que l’ordonnancement des transactions est un aspect primordial dans les SGBDTR, nous avons proposé dans la seconde étape de présenter une étude stochastique des performances des SGBDTR. Ainsi, nous avons proposé une amélioration des taux de succès des transactions plates avec le protocole GEDF (généralisation de EDF) et nous avons adapté cette étude aux transactions emboîtées.This thesis presents a study of flat and extended model of transactions in real-time DBMS (RTDBMSs). This study is carried in two steps : (i) the first step aims to help designers to describe and compare models of real-time transactions, (ii) the second step allows to complete this study by presenting a stochastic study of RTDBMSs performance using two models of real-time transactions : flat transactions and nested transactions models. In the first step, we introduced the meta-model « MRT-ACTA » that takes into account the transactions and data temporal characteristics and their realtime interactions. « M-RT-ACTA » allows designers defining and comparing new models of real-time transactions. The formal description of « M-RT-ACTA » validates our proposals. In order to complete this work, we have observed that transactions scheduling is an important area in RTDBMSs, so we proposed in the second step a stochastic study of RTDBMS performance. Thus, we have proposed to improve the success ratio of flat transactions with GEDF protocol (generalization of GEDF) and we have adapted this study to nested transactions

New approach for building multidisciplinary teams: case of surgical teams

International audienceOne of the problems in human resources management in healthcare systems is the scouting or building of new team members to enhance the quality of healthcare. This paper proposes a new general model for multidisciplinary team building. The proposed model takes professional’s preferences into account when a team building process is required for any type of project. We test the effectiveness of the model using medical domains of different complexities and describe some practical experiences of using the model in the surgical team building process
