This dream can only be realized provided there are feasible solutions that are put in place for the next generation of wireless works. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) configures itself and because of its cost effectiveness, it is therefore seen as a solution for the next generation networks. However, this field still has a lot of limitations and the main constrain is that the energy of the nodes is very limited, especially when the network is deployed in rural areas where electricity is a scares resource. This research therefore presents an energy optimization based path selection algorithm for IEEE 802.11s WMNs which is aimed at addressing the above mentioned constrains. As a newly proposed standard specifically designed for WMN, the IEEE 802.11s does not consider energy conservation as a priority in its protocol. As a result, the main goal for this research is that paths with enough energy for transmission in the network must be selected when transmitting packets. Our simulation results obtained from the experiments prove that there is a substantial increase with regard to the network's operational time when energy is considered by the protocol used in IEEE 802.11s.","PeriodicalId":125684,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Africon '11","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128792262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “Evolvable Paradigm” addresses this concern with a new way of engineering the whole production system. The concept of Skill is declined as common denominator between the definitions of manufacturing process and manufacturing equipment. Each production module holds some of the skills that compose the process definition and it is endowed with the necessary intelligence to come together with the other modules in an organized society. This work introduces the approach adopted in the IDEAS project (Instantly Deployable Evolvable Assembly System) to cope with the above mentioned requirement through the presented paradigm. While fully featured and described IDEAS mechatronic architecture allows rapid reconfiguration of the system, the issue of sustainability is targeted by the open definition of the concepts of skill and skills interaction. The result of skill aggregation is hereby called Emergent Behavior and in the proposed model it can be seen as the main driver for the sustainable use of the system","PeriodicalId":125684,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Africon '11","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121290918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the mathematical difficulties of analyzing unevenly spaced event series or unevenly sampled signals, all of the previously described techniques are impeded by some severe limitations which result from either representing the signal based on an assumed and often insufficient physiological model of signal generation, or from simplifications in the selected signal processing tools. Though the described methods have their merits and allow sufficient description of heart rate in some special applications, there has been no systematic investigation into a continuous representation of unevenly sampled physiological signals which is free from any limitations or simplifying assumptions and which would allow an objective comparison of the known methods and the determination of the respective errors in order to decide which technique is the best suited for a specific application. In this paper a continuous representation of the point event series describing the temporal sequence of heart beats is presented which does not impose any limiting assumptions on the data analysis. The results obtained were validated through simulations in both time and frequency domains, and compared with the established techniques to allow the determination of errors at the specific times where the heart beats occur, as well as within the intervals between these sample points.","PeriodicalId":125684,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Africon '11","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122194150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
