Data from the local network is aggregated and streamed in real-time. This includes traditional oceanographic…
In a simulation, the nodes birth time can be specified and does not necessarily correspond to the the start of the simulation. Nodes can also die during a simulation due to external physical environments or to a lack of energy. Finally, nodes can read physical measures in their environment and impact on these measures. This feature gives the opportunity to simulate…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) A Wireless sensor network can be defined as a network of devices that can communicate the information gathered from a monitored field through wireless links.

Abstract: We consider wireless sensor networks secured by the heterogeneous random key predistribution scheme under an on/off channel model. The heterogeneous random key predistribution scheme considers the case when the network includes sensor nodes with varying levels of resources, features, or connectivity requirements; e.g., regular nodes vs. cluster heads…
Over the last decade a large number of routing protocols has been designed for achieving energy efficiency in data collecting wireless sensor networks. The drawbacks of using a static sink are well known. It has been argued in the literature that a mobile sink may improve the energy dissipation compared to a static one. Some authors focus on minimizing Emax…
