In wireless sensor networks, MAC layer plays a crucial role in the performance enhancement. Therefore, this paper develops an enhanced virtual backoff algorithm to route the packets to the queue based on the delay, as well as an ant colony optimisation algorithm for selecting the best nodes from the available nodes. The node counters are maintained for each node to calculate the success rate, and a sleep schedule is introduced to reduce the energy consumption and to improve the lifetime of the network. The experimental results proved that the proposed model is efficient in preserving the energy, decreasing the node collisions and improving the packet delivery ratio. © 2017 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

An Evolutionary Multi-Objective Approach for Resource Scheduling in Mobile Cloud Computing

In the future generation, computer science plays prominent role in the scientific research. The development in the field of computers will leads to the research benefits of scientific community for sharing data, service computing, building the frameworks and many more. E-Science is the active extending field in the world by the increase data and tools. The proposed work discusses the use of semantic web applications for identifying the components in the development of scientific workflows. The main objective of the proposed work is to develop the framework which assists the scientific community to test and deploy the scientific experiments with the help of ontologies, service repositories, web services and scientific workflows. The framework which aims to sustenance the scientific results and management of applications related to the specific domain. The overall goal of this research is to automate the use of semantic web services, generate the workflows, manage the search services, manage the ontologies by considering the web service composition.
