Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Based Node Disjoint Hybrid Multi-path Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkB. Kalaavathi, K. DuraiswamyMobile Ad hoc Networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, without any infrastructure and frequent node mobility. A class of ant colony based routing protocols has recently gained attention because of their adaptability to the network changes. AntHocNet is ant colony based hybrid algorithm, which combines reactive path setup with proactive path probing, maintenance and improvement. Multi-path routing represents a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Service Mobility Architecture for SIP EnvironmentsThierno Bah, Samuel Pierre, Roch GlithoLately, the proliferation of small portable devices has driven the introduction of a new mobility concept called service mobility. In order to support service mobility, we introduce a new architecture implementing mechanisms to access end user’s personalized services regardless of his physical location. The proposed architecture leverages on mobile agent technology to transport and move services to the end user’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAd Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks Routing Protocols - A ReviewGeetha Jayakumar, G. GopinathMobile ad hoc networks(MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary ad-hoc network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internet work in areas with no preexisting communication infrastructure e.g., disaster recovery environments. An ad-hoc network is not a new one, having been around in various forms … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 115,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeamless Handoff Using Mailbox ApproachManpreet Singh, Rajneesh GujralMobile IP is used to keep track of location information and make the data available to the mobile devices anytime, anywhere. Mobile IP has been widely accepted but lacks in providing seamless handoff. We have proposed a framework for wireless network that uses a flexible and adaptive mailbox-based scheme. In this scheme a mailbox associated with each mobile node while … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Network Management Framework Using Mobile AgentsJonathan Lefebvre, Steven Chamberland, Samuel PierreNetwork management of heterogeneous networks is still hard to achieve automatically and efficiently. In this study, we present a framework that has the ability to perform network management tasks on heterogeneous networks using mobile agents. This framework handles the inability of many network devices to run mobile agents. While the main focus of the project is the framework, we present … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Agents in Wireless LAN and Cellular Data NetworksR. B. Patel, V. K. Katiyar, Vishal GargAdvancing technology in wireless communication offers users anytime, anywhere access to information and network resources without restricting them to the fixed network infrastructure. Mobile computing represents a shift in the distributed systems paradigm. The potential of decoupled and disconnected operation, location-dependent computation and communication and powerful portable computing devices gives rise to opportunities for new patterns of distributed computation that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Text Input Methods for Mobile PhonesBarry O, Kevin Curran, Derek WoodsHuman Computer Interaction is a primary factor in the success or failure of any device but if an objective view is taken of the current mobile phone market you would be forgiven for thinking usability was secondary to aesthetics. Many phone manufacturers modify the design of phones to be different than the competition and to target fashion trends, usually at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Reconfiguration of IP Domain Middleware Stacks to Support Multicast Multimedia Distribution in a Heterogeneous EnvironmentKevin Curran, Gerard ParrSeamless connectivity to multiple wireless networks independently of a fixed point is becoming increasingly important for mobile devices however wireless networks differ in bandwidth, size and access costs each requiring protocol functions to enable devices to communicate efficiently. In addition, due to the divergence of users and applications, traditional stacks are frequently enriched with additional functionality such as transport protocol … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
