Multi-robot terrain coverage approaches that are based on Voronoi partitioning produce unbalanced partitions of the workspace resulting in uneven distribution of the workload to the individual robots. The proposed approach ...

Pocket Switched Networks (PSNs) are an evolution of mobile ad-hoc and Delay Tolerant Networks in which there is no assumption made about the existence of a complete path between two nodes wishing to communicate, thus making ...

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising Content-Centric Network (CCN) architecture that supports data distribution and data sharing by in-network ubiquitous content caching. In NDN, each router has content store to cache ...

This paper presents a empirical evaluation of some approaches suggested in the literature for solving the online terrain coverage task. Our first contribution is that, we have implemented in simulation four state-of-the-art ...

The general method available for comparison between the Distributed Hash Table (DHT) based structured overlay networks are average latency per successful lookup and percentage of successful lookups. For a DHT based lookup ...

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are vulnerable to intermittent connectivity due to opportunistic contacts between mobile nodes. Therefore, routing protocols designed for these networks rely on spreading multiple copies of ...

Communication in a multi-robot system is vital as it facilitates coordination. The performance of a multi-robot system improves with coordination. Many state-of-the-art approaches ignore intermittent connectivity, which ...

This paper investigates the traffic handling capability of wavelength routed optical WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) network, exploiting multi-path transmission under a proposed adaptive link weight algorithm. Data ...

This paper presents an overview of various existing network survivability techniques implemented in optical WDM networks and proposes an efficient network survivability approach. The proposed approach works on the principle ...

Optimum route selection and wavelength assignment is a key aspect in Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) optical network. In general the traffic forwarding decision under adaptive routing algorithms is function of the ...
