To this end, this paper presented an electricity data mining structure: first the higher dimensional data should be reduced to lower ones, second the reduced-dimensional results should be classified into typical usage behavior using cluster methods. Conventional cluster methods cannot deal with large-scale data sets for its slow convergence and low accuracy. This paper proposed SAGA-FCM algorithm to improve the data processing results, which is a combination of Simulated Annealing, Generic algorithm and FCM (Fuzzy C Mean) algorithm. Two examples have been made to verify the algorithm: one is to prove its availability and the other is to compare its efficiency to conventional algorithm.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122704490","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}

Although laudable, this sharing process can negatively affect the service received by the primary users, thus jeopardizing the continuity of this community service. In this paper we propose the use of a gateway that separates the traffic of the primary users from that of the secondary users, the beneficiaries of this sharing. We analyze the impact and behavior of several mechanisms for using this gateway, to determine how to maximize network utilization, use of the excess network capacity, and minimize the impact on the primary traffic. As a result we present a set of lessons learned and recommendations. Particularly, some strategies that use tunneling for managing the primary and secondary traffic achieve the best performance isolation for the primary user, while the secondary user obtains the spare capacity equivalent to non-differentiated best effort, with a limited penalty (around 20%). Combined with complementary queueing techniques (instead of FIFO), other important flows for the user experience (such as DNS or ICMP) can be practically unaffected.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134458711","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}

An important problem is the monitoring and management of services across the edge environment. Therefore, dissemination and gathering of data is not straightforward, differing from the classic cloud infrastructure. In this paper, we consider the environment of community networks for edge cloud computing, in which the monitoring of cloud services is required. We propose a monitoring platform to collect near real-time data about the services offered in the community network using a gossip-enabled network. We analyze and apply this gossip-enabled network to perform service discovery and information sharing, enabling data dissemination among the community. We implemented our solution as a prototype and used it for collecting service monitoring data from the real operational community network cloud, as a feasible deployment of our solution. By means of emulation and simulation we analyze in different scenarios, the behavior of the gossip overlay solution, and obtain average results regarding information propagation and consistency needs, i.e. in high latency situations, data convergence occurs within minutes.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124711598","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}

In order to make demand match supply, so as to prevent grid instabilities and to effectively use the produced power, the smart grid can issue some requests to its users to increase or decrease their consumption; the users that can positively respond to the smart grid requests are awarded through cost reductions. We investigate the case in which, in order to better satisfy the requests from the smart grid, the mobile network uses WiFi offloading that, in its turn, reduces the load and, hence, the consumption of the network. Two cases are considered in the paper: a network with always on base stations and a network in which base stations are activated and deactivated based on the traffic demand. The results show that in both cases WiFi offloading improves the capacity of the mobile network to respond to the smart grid requests. In addition, we consider the possibility that the mobile network is equipped with some photovoltaic panels for generating some additional energy.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124774763","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}

Furthermore, the unfolding of the PD-net is produced and the error of data inconsistency is checked on the basis of the unfolding.

Nevertheless, the energy hungry video encoding and transmission processes and slow progress in battery technologies have become a key and severe problem for the evolution of video technology in WBSNs. So, managing energy during voluminous and variable bit rate (VBR) video transmission in WBSN is a challenging and crucial issue for researchers and engineers. Therefore, the need arose to conduct research on efficient energy management video transmission techniques to overcome the limitations of sensor nodes. In order to address such problem, a novel sustainable energy management algorithm (EMA) is proposed. The proposed algorithm manages encoding and transmission energies and extends lifetime of WBSNs. The experimental results demonstrate that EMA manages and saves energy up to 41.5% in comparison with Baseline algorithm.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128047612","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}
