IP networks have become the dominant platform for video delivery. However, bandwidth-hungry video is pushing networks to their limits: costs are rising for the operators and the viewing experience is not always satisfactory ...

Oxygen levels and heart rate joint monitoring is based on specialized, and most of the times, expensive oximetry devices. According to literature, many studies highlight the necessity of connecting oximetry devises, under ...

This paper examines energy efficiency across 28 selected European Union (EU) Member States and reviews the potential for energy recovery from waste according to the efficiency scores obtained. The efficiencies are assessed ...

Driven by technological advances in low-power network systems and medical sensors, we have witnessed during the recent years the adoption of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in electronic healthcare. Improving the quality ...

The problem of virtual machine (VM) consolidation has received a lot of attention over the past years. Most of the proposed techniques tackling the VM consolidation problem focus on energy consumption ignoring the network ...

The task of querying wireless sensor network (WSN) to retrieve data of interest is very significant and a wealth of query types have been proposed in the context of WSNs. This article describes the d-hop k-data coverage ...

This study attempts to evaluate the energy and environmental efficiency of the primary sectors of the EU member state countries. The evaluation is based on a non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model which allows ...

Typical wireless sensor devices feature an extreme power consumption range between their active and sleep states, thus requiring different hardware setups for measuring their expenditure with high accuracy. In this demo ...

Development of energy-efficient protocols and algorithms requires in-depth understanding of the power consumption characteristics of real world devices. To this aim, energy efficiency analysis is performed by the research ...

This paper proposes distributed load shedding policies for regulating excessive network load. Data packets are inserted into the network to be delivered to intended destinations. The intermediate network nodes may decide ...
