	abstract = {In this paper, we are interested in the description of a cross-layer architecture that supports service differentiation for real-time and best-effort traffics in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). We present our mathematical model that combines parameters from network and MAC layers. We aim to estimate and to enhance the throughput of multi-hop WSNs and the stability of the forwarding queues used for real-time and best-effort traffics. We suppose at the first step that we have a wireless sensor network with a single sink then we suppose that we have the same wireless sensor network with two sinks. We study the impact of transmitting real-time and best-effort traffics on the system throughput; and we also study the impact of adding a second sink on the throughput.},

	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 = {To meet their business goals, organizations are increasingly demanding services that can meet their functional and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we propose a framework for service provisioning, which relies on brokered Service Level agreements (SLAs) between service consumers and service providers. The framework aims at providing support for automated SLA negotiation and management. The Service Broker of the framework carries out SLA negotiation, on behalf of service consumers, with selected service providers in multi-rounds of negotiations until an agreement or a timeout is reached. In each round, multiple SLA parameters are negotiated and both parties try to maximize their global utility functions. SLA compliance monitoring relies on the monitoring infrastructure, which provides support for independent monitoring of services by third party measurement services.},

	abstract = {Understanding human mobility dynamics is of an essential importance to today mobile applications, including context-aware advertising and city wide sensing applications. Recently, Location-based social networks (LBSNs) have attracted important researchers{\textquoteright} efforts, to investigate spatial, temporal and social aspects of user patterns. LBSNs allow users to {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}check-in{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} at geographical locations and share this information with friends. In this paper, analysis of check-ins data provided by Foursquare, the online location-based social network, allows us to construct a set of features that capture: spatial, temporal and similarity characteristics of user mobility. We apply this knowledge to location prediction problem, and combine these features in supervised learning for future location prediction. We find that the supervised classifier based on the combination of multiple features offers reasonable accuracy.},

	abstract = {In this paper, we study dynamic robust power allocation strategies under the imperfectness of the channel state information at the transmitters. Considering unknown payoff functions at the transmitters, we propose an heterogeneous Delayed COmbined fully Distributed Payoff and Strategy Reinforcement Learning (Delayed-CODIPAS-RL) in which each transmitter learns its payoff function as well as its associated optimal strategies in the long-term. We show that equilibrium power allocations can be obtained using the multiplicative weighted imitative CODIPAS-RLs and Bush-Mosteller based CODIPAS-RL. We also show almost sure convergence to the set of global optima for specific scenarios. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
