Toward Energy-Oriented Optimization for Green Communication in Sensor Enabled IoT Environments

[EN] One of the major bottlenecks toward realizing IoT systems is the energy constraint of sensors. Prolonging network lifetime is a fundamental issue for implementing IoT systems. The energy optimization problem, being NP-hard in nature for scalable networks, has been addressed in the literature using traditional metaheuristic techniques. Quantum inspired metaheuristics have shown better performance than their traditional counterparts in solving such optimization problems in different domains. Toward this end, this article proposes a quantum inspired green communication framework for Energy Balancing in sensor enabled IoT systems (Q-EBIoT). First, an energy optimization model for sensor enabled IoT environments is presented, where energy consumption is derived as cost of the energy-oriented paths. Second, a quantum computing oriented solution is developed for the optimization problem focusing on energy centric solution representation, measurement, and rotation angle. The proposed solution is implemented to evaluate the comparative performance with the state-of-the-art techniques. The evaluation demonstrates the benefit of the proposed framework in terms of various energy-related metrics for sensor enabled IoT environments.Kumar, S.; Kaiwartya, O.; Rathee, M.; Kumar, N.; Lloret, J.

Securities Management and Compliances – An Umbrella Mechanism to Ensure Better Corporate Governance in Securities Market

The Indian economy has consciously shifted from a controlled one to a market driven one. In the process, several developments have unfolded. Indian corporates need to assimilate these developments in order to survive and flourish amidst global competition. They can aspire to reach their goals with success if they pursue the right means. Good governance is the means to that end. Corporate governance extends far beyond the confines of corporate law. The quality, quantity and frequency of financial disclosures, the extent of exercise of fiduciary responsibilities and duties by the boards towards shareholders and stakeholders, accountability and transparency in corporate functioning for maximizing shareholders, wealth are the progressive elements and indeed the underlying spirit of corporate governance. Corporate governance today is a strategic necessity where focus is on quality of governance. Capital and investments from international investors are available to corporates demonstrating good governance practices and thus helping them both in procuring capital at competitive rates and also in employing and retaining the intellectual capital
