Clustering is an effective solution to handle challenges due to lack of centralized controllers and infrastructure in ad-hoc networks. Clustered network topologies offer better scalability and reliability when compared with flat topologies. In this paper, a novel clustering algorithm, Dependability-based Clustering Algorithm (DCA) is presented. In DCA, we focus on the dependability of clusters themselves rather than considering only individual nodes to maintain the clustered structure of a network. We validated the performance of our proposal by discrete-event simulations and showed that our approach outperforms its opponents in terms of stability, energy efficiency and quality of service in stationary and mobile scenarios. Moreover, we performed sensitivity analysis of different metrics that are used to select cluster heads and compute the cluster dependability score proposing a complete optimization framework to analyze such metrics for weighted clustering algorithms. As a result of the analysis, we found that while topology-related metrics have negative impact, in many cases, energy-related metrics (e.g., residual energy) have varying effects on different objectives

Optimizing the Performance of Rule-Based Fuzzy Routing Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yazıcı, Adnan (2019-06-01) Effective data routing is one of the crucial themes for energy-efficient communication in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In the WSN research domain, fuzzy approaches are in most cases superior to well-defined methodologies, especially where boundaries between clusters are unclear. For this reason, a significant number of studies have recently proposed fuzzy-based solutions for the problems encountered in WSNs. Rule-based fuzzy systems are part of these widespread fuzzy-based solutions that often involve so...
FUZZY PREDICTION STRATEGIES FOR GENE-ENVIRONMENT NETWORKS - FUZZY REGRESSION ANALYSIS FOR TWO-MODAL REGULATORY SYSTEMS Kropat, Erik; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; DEFTERLİ, ÖZLEM (2016-04-01) Target-environment networks provide a conceptual framework for the analysis and prediction of complex regulatory systems such as genetic networks, eco-finance networks or sensor-target assignments. These evolving networks consist of two major groups of entities that are interacting by unknown relationships. The structure and dynamics of the hidden regulatory system have to be revealed from uncertain measurement data. In this paper, the concept of fuzzy target-environment networks is introduced and various f...
Wireless network coding for multiple unicast transmissions Aktaş, Tuğcan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In this work, firstly we propose a practical and effective cooperative communication technique based on network coding (NC) in order to mitigate the detrimental consequences of fading in wireless channels. We base our formulation on multiple unicast transmissions which is the natural way of communication in many modern wireless networks. The proposed technique utilizes spatial diversity through cooperation between overhearing nodes which carry out distributed encoding operations dictated by the generator ma...
Communication of distributed discrete-event supervisors on a switched network Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (2008-05-30) In order to tackle the controller synthesis problem for large-scale discrete-event systems, recent approaches suggest the design of interacting modular or decentralized supervisors. In these works, information exchange between the supervisors is either required implicitly by the synchronization of shared events or explicitly by the communication of events or symbols. However, it is not discussed how the communication can be realized if the supervisors are implemented in distributed controller devices that a...
An energy aware fuzzy approach to unequal clustering in wireless sensor networks Bagci, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2013-04-01) In order to gather information more efficiently in terms of energy consumption, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are partitioned into clusters. In clustered WSNs, each sensor node sends its collected data to the head of the cluster that it belongs to. The cluster-heads are responsible for aggregating the collected data and forwarding it to the base station through other cluster-heads in the network. This leads to a situation known as the hot spots problem where cluster-heads that are closer to the base stati...
