In this paper, we study the lifetime op- timization problem in wireless sensor networks using mo- bile sink nodes. This problem is inherently difficult since we need to consider both sink scheduling and data rout- ing. Through a simple case study we develop a novel no- tation named the Placement pattern (PP) to bound traffic patterns with candidate locations. This significantly de- creases the number of elements needed to be scheduled. Based on the PP, we mathematically formulate this opti- mization problem as a Mixed-integer non-linear program- ming (MINLP), which is very tough and time consuming to solve. By proving that the problem is NP-complete, we point out that instead of seeking an optimal algorithm, heuristic algorithms, especially those with performance guarantee, would be much more desirable to develop. Fur- thermore, in order to help identify performance gains of heuristic algorithms proposed in the future, we develop a Linear programming (LP) formulation which serves as an upper bound by adopting a reformulation and relaxation technique.

In contrast with public clouds, private clouds have some unique features, especially when related to workflow scheduling. Of course, the tradeoff problem between power and performance remains to be one of the key concerns. Based on our previous research, in this paper, we propose a hybrid energy-efficient scheduling algorithm using dynamic migration. The experiments show that it can not only reduce the response time, conserve more energy, but also achieve higher level of load balancing.
