Combining social network analysis (SNA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques is a recent and relevant trend in the literature. However, although other works have integrated these techniques, none have done so in ...

Choosing committees with independent members in social networks can be regarded as a group selection problem where independence, as the main selection criterion, can be measured by the social distance between group members. ...

In reactive routing algorithms on Ad-Hoc networks, one of the most important challenges is to minimize the number of route discovery processes, due to their high cost in bandwidth. This is achieved through a careful selection ...

The ultra-dense network (UDN) is one of the key technologies in fifth generation (5G) networks. It is used to enhance the system capacity issue by deploying small cells at high density. In 5G UDNs, the cell selection process ...

The nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are responsible for communicating data which is primarily of three types viz. video, audio and text. In literature, a large number of energy aware and shortest path based route ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks usually require many tags along with readers and computation facilities. Those networks have limitations with respect to computing power and energy consumption. Thus, for ...

Intrusions in computer networks have driven the development of various techniques for intrusion detection systems (IDSs). In general, the existing approaches seek two goals: high detection rate and low false alarm rate. ...
