Topology control is a fundamental issue in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Due to
intrinsic characteristic of flatness, hierarchical topology can achieve the scalability and …

The devices forming Internet of Things (IoT) networks need to be re-programmed over the
air, so that new features are added, software bugs or security vulnerabilities are resolved …

In wireless ad hoc networks, due to the dynamic topology changes, multi hop
communications and strict resource limitations, routing becomes the most challenging issue …

Inspired by the backbone concept in wired networks, virtual backbone is expected to bring
substantial benefits to routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Virtual backbone …

Constrained frequent patterns and closed frequent patterns are two paradigms aimed at
reducing the set of extracted patterns to a smaller, more interesting, subset. Although a lot of …

A Connected Dominating Set (CDS) working as a virtual backbone is an effective way to
decrease the overhead of routing in a wireless sensor network. Furthermore, a k-Connected …

Topology control is one vital factor to a wireless network's efficiency. A Connected
Dominating Set (CDS) can be a useful basis of a backbone topology construction. In this …

This paper presents CORD, a reliable bulk data dissemination protocol for propagating a
large data object to all the nodes in a large scale sensor network. Unlike well-known reliable …

A k-Connected m-Dominating Set (kmCDS) working as a virtual backbone in a wireless
sensor network is necessary for fault tolerance and routing flexibility. In order to construct a …

In this paper, we will study a special Connected Dominating Set (CDS) problem-between
any two nodes in a network, there exists at least one shortest path, all of whose intermediate …
