	abstract = {Behavior of the propagation medium in reaction with electromagnetic fields is described by its dielectric permittivity; this electric property is a function of the physical characteristics of the medium and those of the propagating wave. Among the parameters, which considerably affect the dielectric permittivity of a medium, its water content. In fact, when the snow wetness varies from 0 to 50\% in the melting layer, real part of the mixture permittivity varies from 1.47 to 5.86. Similarly, when soil moisture varies from 0 to 40\% real and imaginary parts of effective permittivity of soil, air and water mixture vary from 4.13 to 24.85 and from 0 to 3.44 respectively. This dynamism in the permittivity as a function of the humidity is able to alter the efficiency of the antenna within the application. In this paper, we propose a study to analyze the impact of wetness on the performance of a dipole antenna with central frequency of 900 MHz. The study was carried out by simulating the behavior of the dipole antenna model in Finite Element Method (FEM) full wave simulator with different values of the water content of two propagation mediums: melting layer and soil. Simulation results concerning the resonant frequency, bandwidth, directivity are presented through paragraphs of the paper. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	abstract = {During the last decade, the smart digital environment has become one of the most scientific challenges that occupy scientists and researchers. This new environment consists basically of smart connected products including three main parts: the physical mechanical/electrical product, the smart part of the product made from embedded software and human machine interface, and finally the connectivity part including antennas and routing protocols insuring the wired/wireless communication with other products, from our side, we are involved in the implementation of the latter part by developing a routing protocol that will meet the increasingly demanding requirements of today{\textquoteright}s systems (security, bandwidth, network lifetime, ...). Based on the researches carried out in other fields of application such as MANETS, multi-path routing fulfills our expectations. In this article, the MPOLSR protocol was chosen as an example, comparing its standard version and its improvements in order to choose the best solution that can be applied in the smart digital environment. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, we are converging more and more towards smart environments like smart cars, drones, unmanned airplanes, internet of things and connected homes... These new gadgets are in need to communicate and interact with each other for their proper functioning. Due to their easy implementation, the mobile ad hoc networks constitute the fastest and the most efficient way to establish connection in smart environments. However, in proactive ad hoc routing protocol, like the Optimized Link State Routing, maintaining the topology increases the overhead and consumes a considerable energy power. In smart environments, some terminals are battery powered. Designing efficient communication protocols is crucial to decrease the interferences, to enhance the performance of the network and to reduce the consumption of energy. In this paper, we use the node localization in the context of OLSR to select dispersive Multi-Point Relays responsible of broadcasting the topology into the entire network. We divide the environment into several virtual zones. Then we try to elect forwarders at different partitions to cover the maximum surface area in order to reach the greater number of devices. The simulations show that our proposal reduces at certain extent, the amount of traffic overhead, improves the network capacity and lets more bandwidth for the smart environment{\textquoteright}s applications. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	abstract = {Today, we witness the emergence of smart environments, where devices are able to connect independently without human-intervention. Mobile ad hoc networks are an example of smart environments that are widely deployed in public spaces. They offer great services and features compared with wired systems. However, these networks are more sensitive to malicious attacks because of the lack of infrastructure and the self-organizing nature of devices. Thus, communication between nodes is much more exposed to various security risks, than other networks. In this paper, we will present a synthetic study on security concept for MANETs, and then we will introduce a contribution based on evaluating link quality, using ETX metric, to enhance network availability. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},
