In this work, we present an event-based simulator for wireless networks using the Java programming language. Special focus has been placed on scalability and modularity of the implementation. Indeed, the new test-bed can support easily up to 10000 nodes; at the same time the different components interact with each other with well-defined interfaces permitting separate and independent modification. Even though the simulator can be used for any ad hoc wireless network, we have concentrated on the more energy-limited and constrained sensor networks. The supported physical model includes the use of directional antennas, enabling the switching of the antennas' lobe at will and the finding of direction of arrival (DoA) of the signal. Two variants of Aloha and one CSMA are the major MAC protocols implemented. At the network layer, emphasis was given on SPEED and its enhancements. Finally, the user is provided with a configuration file to set its inputs, an excel output file holding all the statistics of the simulation and an interactive GUI showing the flow of information across the sensor nodes. Finally, the simulator was tested in terms of speed and memory demands, and the results of our simulations were compared against those of other research groups.
In this paper we report the effects on both forward current and light output in ultraviolet (UV) III-nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) optically pumped with mid-IR radiation. Furthermore, we demonstrate an enhanced...

Since IEC 61499 has reached the state of an international standard and a substantial body of research results exists the question of the authors as main intention for this paper was: Do the models of IEC 61499 solve all problems when thinking of usability and interoperability in heterogeneous system environments? The main problems discussed within the paper concern to the execution model defined for basic function blocks and the scheduling of events within function block networks.

In this paper, we investigate the use of limited infrastructure, in the form of wires, for improving the energy efficiency of a wireless sensor network. We call such a sensor network - a wireless sensor network with a limited infrastructural support - a hybrid sensor network. The wires act as short cuts to bring down the average hop count of the network, resulting in a reduced energy dissipation per node. Our results indicate that adding a few wires to a wireless sensor network can not only reduce the average energy expenditure per sensor node, but also the non-uniformity in the energy expenditure across the sensor nodes.

In this paper it is demonstrated that pronking (or trotting or pacing) is the preferred mode of behavior of a fairly generic quadruped model. This gait often occurs even though no explicit control is used to force it,...
