Maintaining network connectivity is an important challenge for vehicular ad hoc network
(VANET) in an urban scene, which has more complex road conditions than highways and …

Many clustering schemes have been proposed for ad hoc networks. A systematic
classification of these clustering schemes enables one to better understand and make …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of assorted mobile devices in a network without
centralised administration and infrastructure. Routing processes in MANETs rely on …

The self-motivated environment of mobile nodes confronts the connectivity and the stability
in mobile MANETs. In MANETs, nodes are usually defined as a network which is created …

This paper proposes a distributed group mobility adaptive (DGMA) clustering algorithm for
mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) on the basis of a revised group mobility metric, linear …

Group communication has been increasingly used as an efficient communication
mechanism for facilitating emerging applications that require packet delivery from one or …

The development of vehicular networks leads to a plethora of new applications that are
already becoming essential to the drivers and to cooperative vehicles. One important …

The number of vehicles on the roads is rapidly increasing year by year. This huge volume of
vehicles leads to higher accidents' rates and more congested roads. Therefore, there is a …

The flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) have attracted a large amount of attention from both
academia and industry. Benefiting from the flexibility, the FANETs have been widely …

Existing index selection tools rely on heuristics to efficiently search within the large space of
alternative solutions and to minimize the overhead of using the query optimizer for cost …
