Distributed topology control protocols (DTCP) for wireless sensor networks (WSN) coordinate nodespsila decisions regarding their transmission ranges, in order to set up a network with a certain connectivity, while reducing nodespsila energy consumption and/or increasing network capacity. The key issue in DTCP is to choose the most suitable transmission power level (TPL) among those available for each sensor node in a distributed manner. We present a method to predict the TPLs for DTCP in realistic scenarios, which takes into account several propagation phenomena, such as barriers and multipath interference. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we simulated the radio propagation pattern of a WSN in a scenario of multiple rooms. Our results suggested that our method allows to predict, with reasonable accuracy, the approximate TPLs distribution achieved by different DTCP approaches within a given parameterized scenario.

This paper presents MODENA, an architecture for scientific models management using Computational Grid platform. This architecture is comprised of two systems: ModManager and ModRunner. ModManager deals with knowledge management about scientific models, acting as a scientific models library allowing for cataloguing, searching, reutilization and generation of new models. To achieve this, a metamodel is proposed to classify models, in order to support the organization, searching and retrieving of models. ModRunner manages the execution of models in a Grid environment allowing for model composition to generate a scientific Grid Workflow to be executed by distributed services offered by Grid Services. An initial prototype of ModManager is presented.

This paper describes the implementation of transmission-line matrix (TLM) method algorithms on a massively parallel computer (DECmpp 12000), the technique of distributed computing in the UNIX environment, and the combination of TLM analysis with Prony's method as well as with autoregressive moving average (ARMA) digital signal processing for electromagnetic field modelling. By combining these advanced computation techniques, typical electromagnetic field modelling of microwave structures by TLM analysis can be accelerated by a few orders of magnitude.
