Automatic network management strategies have become paramount for meeting the needs of innovative real-time and data-intensive applications, such as in the Internet of Things. However, meeting the ever-growing and fluctuating demands for…

The energy cost of a sensor network is dominated by the data acquisition and communication cost of individual sensors. At each sampling instant it is unnecessary to sample and communicate the data at all sensors since the data is highly…

Energy harvesting offers an attractive and promising mechanism to power low-energy devices. However, it alone is insufficient to enable an energy-neutral operation, which can eliminate tedious battery charging and replacement requirements.…

Smart sensing is expected to become a pervasive technology in smart cities and environments of the near future. These services are improving their capabilities due to integrated devices shrinking in size while maintaining their…

Sensor nodes with energy harvesting sources are gaining popularity due to their ability to improve the network life time and are becoming a preferred choice supporting `green communication'. We study such a sensor node with an energy…

In this paper, we study the global stability properties of a multi-agent model of natural resource consumption that balances ecological and social network components in determining the consumption behavior of a group of agents. The social…

One of the main challenges when designing a new self-powered wireless sensor network (WSN) technology is the vast operational dependence on its scarce energy resources. Therefore, a thorough identification and characterisation of the main…

Due to the increasing occurrence of natural disasters, importance of maintaining sustainable energy for cities and society is felt more than ever. On the other hand, power loss reduction is a challenging issue of active distribution…

Technology solutions must effectively balance economic growth, social equity, and environmental integrity to achieve a sustainable society. Notably, although the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm constitutes a key sustainability enabler,…

Power and energy consumption is a fundamental issue in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) since nodes must operate properly and autonomously for a certain period of time without battery replacement or change. This is due to the fact that the…

Recently it has been shown that the control energy required to control a dynamical complex network is prohibitively large when there are only a few control inputs. Most methods to reduce the control energy have focused on where, in the…

We study the problem of routing in sensor networks where the goal is to maximize the network's lifetime. Previous work has considered this problem for fixed-topology networks. Here, we add mobility to the source node, which requires a new…

The relation between network structure and dynamics is determinant for the behavior of complex systems in numerous domains. An important long-standing problem concerns the properties of the networks that optimize the dynamics with respect…

Power systems are critical infrastructure for reliable and secure electric energy delivery. Incidents are increasing, as unexpected multiple hazards ranging from natural disasters to cyberattacks threaten the security and functionality of…

The concept of sensor networks (WSNs) has become an important component of the recently proposed cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and Internet of Things which can connect the physical world with embedded software systems. Energy- harvesting…

Integrated Energy Systems (IES) are systems of interconnected electricity, gas, heating, and cooling networks, where the carriers interact and depend on one another. Beyond these core vectors, IES may also incorporate additional…

Feedback control algorithms traditionally rely on periodic execution on digital platforms. While this simplifies design and analysis, it often leads to inefficient resource usage (e.g., CPU, network bandwidth) in embedded control and shared…

Wireless sensor networks increasingly become viable solutions to many challenging problems and will successively be deployed in many areas in the future. However, deploying new technology without security in mind has often proved to be…

This paper is about the wireless sensor network in environmental monitoring applications. A Wireless Sensor Network consists of many sensor nodes and a base station. The number and type of sensor nodes and the design protocols for any…

In a world driven by data, cities are increasingly interested in deploying networks of smart city devices for urban and environmental monitoring. To be successful, these networks must be reliable, scalable, real-time, low-cost, and easy to…
