Sensors are emerging devices on a world leading to ubiquity and pervasiveness. For the sake of users' convenience, the organization of these sensors in operational networks must be done in an autonomic and self-sustained way. This paper proposes BiO4SeL (Bio-Inspired Optimization for Sensor Network Lifetime), a biologically-inspired routing algorithm for sensor networks where the main goal is autonomy, while aiming to optimize the sensor networks' lifetime, i.e., the maximization of the full coverage duration. BiO4SeL is based on Swarm Intelligence, more specifically on Ant Colonies. Results show that BiO4SeL achieves its objectives when compared with similar approaches: ARAMA (Ant-based Routing Algorithm for Manets) and AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector).

In today's market environment, change is an integral part of all projects. As such, its proper management is a crucial task when it comes to reducing both time and cost of development. The classical modeling approach can improve the situation up to a proper extent but it is not enough, because the process is usually variable and complex. Therefore it is necessary to introduce different level of abstractions for modeling. Each of these levels should serve at a certain phase for a certain purpose in the process. In the early stages several elements are grouped together and aggregated at the higher level, in an abstract model. Throughout time, granularity becomes smaller while understanding of the concepts becomes clearer and clearer and we need to see already working prototypes. In this situation, the approaches on instance- and meta-modeling techniques promise to bring productivity and efficiency to the process. This paper outlines practices from both approaches. We introduce the approach of using Object Constraint Language (OCL) with a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for instance-level model querying, illustrating this method with some examples. We analyze OCL from the broad perspective discussing its advantages and pointing out some its limitations. Moving to a higher level of abstraction, we also present the usage of Kermeta - an extension to the meta-data language with an action language for specifying semantics and behavior of meta-models. We show how Kermeta provides the possibility of automated meta-model transformations.

Due to their embedding into an unknown environment, wireless sensor networks are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions. A prime example is external interference, typically caused by 802.11, electric devices or co-located sensor networks, which can drastically influence communication. However, radios on sensor nodes provide multiple channels, which can help to alleviate interference problems on a particular channel. In this work, we introduce Chamaeleon, a novel lean, cross-layer protocol extension that helps to overcome external interference problems. Chamaeleon switches an affected set of nodes to a new channel based on key network parameters e.g., packet loss and channel backoffs. Initial simulation-based experiments show that Chamaeleon effectively handles the jamming of isolated channels.

This work proposes a methodology to identify the parameters of a synchronous machine based on the finite element method (FEM). Several offline real-time tests to identify SM parameters are reproduced on a digital platform of a FEM based solver. The proposed methodology is divided into three basic steps: creation of the basic physical geometry of the synchronous machine, development and execution of parameter estimation tests on the digital platform, and post-processing to calculate the parameters from the test results. Simulations are shown for a salient-pole synchronous machine. The proposed method is envisioned to replace the real-time offline tests.

Data gathering is one of the most popular energy-efficient routing protocols in Wireless Sensor networks (WSNs). In this research, we introduce a Dynamic Balanced Spanning Tree (DBST) for data aggregation in WSNs which considers several criteria to balance the energy consumption between sensor nodes. A cost function is presented which can follow the conditions of network. It considers various factors such as distance, residual energy, and node weight and also controls the trade-off between these factors. DBST not only minimizes the maximum energy consumption among the sensor nodes, but also can balance the traffic load in the network by dynamic design of the routing tree. DBST is equipped with a root selection mechanism which only needs localized information and considers both distance and residual energy criteria. In this way, the role of the root is distributed among the nods fairly. Furthermore, it guarantees that critical nodes are not selected as root node. DBST also uses a discrete first order radio model which is adaptable to the limitation of Sensor hardware platforms. Our extensive experiments demonstrate efficiency of the proposed DBST in balancing the traffic loads in the network.
