TimeNET Optimization Environment
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
In this paper a novel tool for simulation-based optimization and design-space exploration of Stochastic Colored Petri nets (SCPN) is introduced. The working title of this tool is TimeNET Optimization Environment (TOE). Targeted users of this tool are people modeling complex systems with SCPNs in TimeNET who want to find parameter sets that are optimal for a certain performance measure (fitness function). It allows users to create and simulate sets of SCPNs and to run different optimization algorithms based on parameter variation. The development of this tool was motivated by the need to automate and speed up tests of heuristic optimization algorithms to be applied for SCPN optimization. A result caching mechanism is used to avoid recalculations.

A Hardware Prototype of a Flexible Spectrum Sensing Node for Smart Sensing Networks
In this paper we present a prototype for a spectrum sensing node for a cognitive radio sensing network. Our prototype consists of a custom down-conversion front-end with an RF input frequency range from 300 MHz to 3 GHz...
Maximization of Received Signal Power by Impedance Matching in Human Body Communication Receiver
Human body communication (HBC) utilizes human body as part of the transmission channel. The present paper deals with HBC between a transmitter worn on the user’s wrist and an off-body stationary receiver touched by the u...
Detecting Multi-ChannelWireless Microphone User Emulation Attacks in White Space with Noise
Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are susceptible to primary user emulation (PUE) attacks. Conventional PUE attack detection approaches consider television broadcasting as the primary user. In this work, however, we study...
Classification of Steps on Road Surface Using Acceleration Signals
In order to reduce a road monitoring cost, we propose a system to monitor extensively road condition by cyclists with a smartphone. In this paper, we propose two methods towards road monitoring. First is to classify road...
Mi-MMAC: MIMO-Based Multi-Channel MAC Protocol for WLAN
In order to meet the proliferating demands in wireless local area networks (WLANs), the multi-channel media access control (MMAC) technology has attracted a considerable attention to exploit the increasingly scarce spect...
