	abstract = {This paper describes a new approach to build energy aware clusters for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The algorithm behind is based on the k-means method which is well known as a clustering technique and widely used in several fields of engineering and research. K-means clustering tends to find clusters of comparable spatial extent (density clustering). We try to enhance the clustering process by selecting nodes as clusters that are centric and have a high level of energy. This will give the same QoS results as given by the K-means approach with a reduction of energy consumption and a prolongation of the lifetime of the sensor network. For the simulation purposes, we have implemented our approach on the OLSR routing protocol which has been selected by our research team as a test bed routing protocol. We have compared our new approach (OLSR-Kmeans-Energy) with a previous work we developed and where we use a Max-Min heuristic (OLSR-MaxMin-Energy) to enhance QoS parameters and the lifetime of the WSN. Our new approach seems to give better results than the MaxMin approach.},

	abstract = {In mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), data transmission is usually performed between mobile entities in an environment without infrastructure. So, data security is a key issue in MANETs. In this paper, we propose a security solution for the routing protocol OLSR. Our system is based on a new approach of asymmetric and dynamic encryption. Our goal is to properly secure the traffic against potential attacks without decreasing network performances.},

	abstract = {This paper describes a routing system for a communication network constituted by several ad hoc mobile nodes. This system optimizes energy consumption. It divides the network into clusters. Thereafter it detects the best way in terms of energy to be taken by a stream of data. This consists to calculate the energy required for each available path and select the optimal gateways. Each cluster is identified by a cluster-head which is elected according to its position and its residual energy by using a clustering algorithm. The main objective of this paper is to optimize the number of live nodes by assigning to each network task the appropriate nodes.},

	abstract = {Due to the dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the quality of service (QoS) requires several improvements. The present paper comes within the framework of research to optimize QoS in MANET. In this paper, we propose a novel version of OLSR based on the clustering approach which is inspired from Lin and Chu heuristic and adapted to be implemented in OLSR. We studied its stability and we compared its performances to those of standard OLSR. The metrics we used in evaluating network performances were average end-to-end delay, control routing overhead, and packet delivery ratio. Experimental results show that our alternative significantly reduces the traffic reserved to monitoring the network, which positively influences other performances such as throughput, delay, and loss.
