We consider source localization in a wireless sensor network in the absence of a fusion center, where each sensor makes hybrid time-of-arrival (TOA) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) measurements. Specially, in this paper, we focus on the bounded noise case. distributed location estimation is posed as a consensus problem. The average consensus method in the literature can be used for a linear fusion estimator which can be written as the ratio of two averages. The disadvantage of this average consensus method is that it can only used for linear model and needs to wait for the final convergence to achieve an acceptable accuracy. However, generally its convergence rate is low. Alternatively, we present a convex projection consensus method where we show that the resulting estimator at each sensor converges to a common point lying in the intersection of convex regions that are determined based on local sensor measurements and also the minimum number of sensors required to meet a certain estimation error tolerance is derived. Numerical results are presented showing the convergence properties and root mean squared error under both the average consensus and the convex projection methods.

In the last few years, the exponential' expansion of social media is making available an enormous and continuous stream of data containing laminable information. A wide range of medical and healthcare applications, including clinical trials, disease surveillance, personalized medicines and population health management, can be also supported by analyzing these data. Obviously, new approaches and innovative methodologies are needed to investigate data characterized by high velocity, volume and variability. Dedicated services, comprising data sources and middleware, can be considered a dynamic content and then handled by exploiting a Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), an effective solution to manage contents in distributed systems. However, CDNs show limits in dynamic and Large systems in which a great amount of data is managed. This paper introduces a distributed and sell -organizing algorithm to build a management system for big data analytics in highly dynamite environments like healthcare domain. Thanks to autonomous and local operations performed by hosts of a 'distributed system, a logically organized overlay network emerges and the resource discovery operations became faster and efficient, Preliminary experimental results show the effectiveness of our approach.

Regulating capacity shortage will impose negative impact on the accommodation of renewable energy in a power system. Especially in off-peak load periods, the accommodation of wind power is highly dependent on the downward regulation capability of the power system. To encourage the provision of the downward regulation services and reasonably evaluate their market value, this paper presents a downward regulation market where power generators and demand response resources compete by submitting bids to meet the demand of downward regulation capacity in off-peak load periods. To investigate the bidding strategies in the downward regulation market, a game-theoretic equilibrium model is developed, in which supply function bid is considered. The equilibrium model can be transformed into a convex optimization model based on the equivalence of the optimality condition. Then, a distributed algorithm is applied to solve the convex optimization model and achieve equilibrium results. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm.

A novel generic distributed algorithm is presented, which assigns in a self organizing way resources to the cells in cellular networks under the constraints that resource restrictions need to be considered between the cells. The algorithm operates in a fully distributed way, running independently inside each base station without any central entity. It optimizes the resource assignment, is capable to resolve sub-optimal aspects as well as comprises methods to detect and resolve possible instabilities such as contradicting decisions like ping pongs of two neighbouring base stations. The algorithm is here applied for LTE inter-cell interference coordination and simulations have shown that this distributed algorithm is always capable to solve reliably the resource assignment task.

In wireless sensor networks, barrier coverage is a fundamental category of coverage problems and its surveillance capability can be reinforced when utilizing camera sensors. In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm to solve the problem of Full-View Barrier Coverage with rotatable camera sensors (FBR). Our goal is to minimize the active sensor number when guaranteeing the surveillance capabilities. Correspondingly, we propose a distributed Proliferation algorithm (DPA) which is the first distributed algorithm to deal with such problem. In DPA, each sensor has five possible phases: Initial Phase, Update Phase, Expand Phase, Wait Phase, and Terminate Phase. The main idea of DPA is spreading the sensor direction along the barrier with the help of auxiliary conflicting graph. We design a greedy strategy based on DFS. Moreover, local Dijkstra algorithm is utilized to select the shortest path to reduce active sensor number from global view. The mass number of numerical experiments validate the efficiency of DPA which can construct a full-view barrier line with fewer sensors compared with previous work.

We propose a distributed multi-objective optimization (DMO) method for designing chiral plasmonic metasurface that satisfies multiple objectives simultaneously. We aim to improve the refractive index sensitivity of the archetypical Born-Kuhn type chiral plasmonic metasurface while ensuring that circular dichroism (CD) is as pronounced as possible at a designated resonance wavelength. By leveraging distributed technology, the proposed method significantly improves the time efficiency of the optimization process. The simulation results demonstrate approximately 33% enhancement in sensitivity by DMO, as well as greater than 100% boost in time efficiency compared to stand-alone optimization approaches. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed method to guide the design of chiral plasmonic metasurface sensors, enabling the simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives and facilitating advancements in chiral optics and sensing applications.

To empower advanced traffic engineering (TE) mechanism, while considering the infeasibility of one-step migration to software-defined networking (SDN), SDN nodes are incrementally deployed into legacy network, which gives rise to hybrid SDN. In hybrid SDN, redirecting flow of every source-destination pair through at least one SDN node, can enhance TE performance and obtain flow manageability, while on the other hand leading to increasing demands of TCAM resources in SDN nodes. In this paper, we make minimization of maximum link utilization as the TE objective, and comply with SDN waypoint enforcement and TCAM resource limitation. We first formulate the TE problem as an integer linear programming (ILP) model and solve it in a centralized manner, where SDN waypoint selection and splitting fractions for each flow are jointly determined. Then, based on a fact that the logically centralized control plane in hybrid SDN is composed of multiple physically decentralized controllers, each of which manages part of SDN nodes, as well as considering a real situation that a centralized solution is infeasible or too fragile for large-scale network, we develop a distributed algorithm deriving from Lagrangian decomposition theory to effectively solve the TE problem. The simulation results indicate that, when 30;of the SDN nodes are deployed, the proposed traffic engineering-aware distributed routing (TEDR) algorithm obtains maximum link utilization comparable to that of full SDN, and has a limited influence on the routing efficiency.

The dead end problem in greedy forwarding is an important issue of location based routing in sensor networks. It occurs when a message falls into a local minimum using greedy forwarding. Current solutions to this problem are insufficient in either eliminating traffic/path memorization or finding satisfactory short paths. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, called partial-partition avoiding geographic routing (PAGER), to solve the problem. The basic idea of PAGER is to divide a sensor network graph into functional subgraphs and provide each sensor node with message forwarding directions based on these subgraphs. PAGER results in loop free short paths without memorization of traffics/paths in sensor nodes. It does not require planarization of the underlying network graph. Further, the mobility adaptability of PAGER makes it suitable for use in mobile sensor networks with frequent topology changes. We implement the PAGER algorithm in two protocols and evaluate them in sensor networks with different parameters. Experimental results show the advantage of PAGER in the context of sensor networks.

In this paper, we focus on designing a distributed algorithm for solving a kind of unconstrained cooperative optimization problem with poly-nomial objective function subject to variable coupling. A Lasserre relaxation method is used to convert the studied cooperative optimization problem to an equivalent semi-definite programming problem. Underlying the knowledge of graph theory, we disassemble variables of connection matrix and introduce a distributed alternating directions method of multipliers to solve the semi-definite programming problem. Different from the existing results, the advan-tage of the introduced algorithm is that it gives a distributed computing way to solve a kind of cooperative optimization problem with objective function subject to variable coupling. Finally, two simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
