Older people and the use of ICTs to communicate with children and grandchildren
In this research we explore older people's incentives to use Internet services to communicate with their children and grandchildren, and the factors that make older individuals stop using (or even reject) Internet-mediated ...
An iterative biased-randomized heuristic for the fleet size and mix vehicle-routing problem with backhauls
This paper analyzes the fleet mixed vehicle-routing problem with backhauls, a rich and realistic variant of the popular vehicle-routing problem in which both delivery and pick-up customers are served from a central depot ...
Simple distributed scheduling with collision detection in TSCH networks
The IETF IPv6 over the time synchronized channel hopping mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) working group standardizes a distributed mechanism for neighbor motes to agree on a schedule to communicate, driven by a scheduling ...
A Forwarding Spurring Protocol for Multihop Ad Hoc Networks (FURIES)
The functioning of an ad hoc network is based on the supportive contributions of all of its members. Nodes behave as routers and take part in route discovery and maintenance. In this paper, a forwarding protocol is presented ...

Computational and Energy Costs of Cryptographic Algorithms on Handheld Devices
Networks are evolving toward a ubiquitous model in which heterogeneous devices are interconnected. Cryptographic algorithms are required for developing security solutions that protect network activity. However, the ...
Solving the deterministic and stochastic uncapacitated facility location problem: From a heuristic to a simheuristic
The uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) is a popular combinatorial optimization problem with practical applications in different areas, from logistics to telecommunication networks. While most of the existing ...
Efficient validation of large models using the Mogwaï tool
Scalable model persistence frameworks have been proposed to handle large (potentially generated) models involved in current industrial processes. They usually rely on databases to store and access the underlying models, ...
Automated gesture tracking in head-fixed mice
The preparation consisting of a head-fixed mouse on a spherical or cylindrical treadmill offers unique advantages in a variety of experimental contexts. Head fixation provides the mechanical stability necessary for optical ...
A simheuristic for routing electric vehicles with limited driving ranges and stochastic travel times
Green transportation is becoming relevant in the context of smart cities, where the use of electric vehicles represents a promising strategy to support sustainability policies. However the use of electric vehicles shows ...
Performance analysis of a cognitive radio contention-aware channel selection algorithm
In cognitive radio (CR) networks, due to the ever increasing traffic demands and the limited spectrum resources, it is very likely for several secondary networks (SNs) to coexist and opportunistically use the same primary ...
Spectral efficient and energy aware clustering in cellular networks
The current and envisaged increase of cellular traffic poses new challenges to mobile network operators (MNO), who must densify their radio access networks (RAN) while maintaining low capital expenditure and operational ...
Analyzing the educational design, use and effect of spatial games for cultural heritage: A literature review
Integrating game-based approaches with learning constitutes a prevailing trend in education and training, applied in several domains, one of which is cultural heritage. The present paper attempts a literature review of ...
Applications of discrete-event simulation to reliability and availability assessment in civil engineering structures
This paper discusses the convenience of predicting, quantitatively, time-dependent reliability and availability levels associated with most building or civil engineering structures. Then, the paper reviews different ...
Maintaining connections. Octo- and nonagenarians on digital 'use and non-use'
The concepts of user and non-user are frequently deployed within media and communications literature. What do these terms mean if examined regarding age and ageing? In this article we explore and trouble these notions ...
Prevention of Cross-Site Scripting Attacks on Current Web Applications
Security is becoming one of the major concerns for web applications and other Internet based services, which are becoming pervasive in all kinds of business models and organizations. Web applications must therefore include, ...
Exploring Tehran with excitable medium
An excitable chemical medium --- Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction --- is proven to be a fruitful substrate for prototyping unconventional computing devices. These include image processors, logical circuits, and robot ...
Total order in opportunistic networks
Opportunistic network applications are usually assumed to work only with unordered immutable messages, like photos, videos, or music files, while applications that depend on ordered or mutable messages, like chat or shared ...
Jxta-Overlay : an interface for Efficient Peer Selection in P2P JXTA-based Systems
In this paper we address the problem of the efficient peer selection in P2P distributed platforms. To this end, we have developed a P2P distributed platform using Sun's JXTA technology, which is endowed with resource ...
