Clustering And Hybrid Routing In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Lan Wang
Clustering And Hybrid Routing In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Lan Wang
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on clustering and hybrid routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). Specifically, we study two different network-layer virtual infrastructures proposed for MANET: the explicit cluster infrastructure and the implicit zone infrastructure. In the first part of the dissertation, we propose a novel clustering scheme based on a number of properties of diameter-2 graphs to provide a general-purpose virtual infrastructure for MANET. Compared to virtual infrastructures with central nodes, our virtual infrastructure is more symmetric and stable, but still light-weight. In our clustering scheme, cluster initialization naturally blends into cluster maintenance, showing the unity between these two operations. …

A Model For User Profiling Systems With Interacting Agents, Sanem Sariel, Tevfi̇k Akgün
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Service systems according to users' personal demands and preferences are on their way to provide required services in many application domains. Emulation of interactive model of human societies produces valuable outcomes for such systems. In this work, a system model with interactive agents for multi user service systems is proposed. A novel social interactive agent model using different interaction forms is also included in this proposal. In this model, agents decide how to serve to their users by considering their users' profiles and information from other agents. User clusters are formed by clustering techniques. The Q-learning algorithm is used for …
