Search Results for "stochastic"

...There are many use cases where the lower accuracy is acceptable in return of lower consumption of computing resources. The basic idea of Particle Swarm Optimization is the emulation of the social behaviour of, e.g., a flock of birds, as a stochastic optimisation method. Specifically, a particle is an entity representing a solution in the search space. Several particles cooperate inside an algorithmic flow to occupy positions close to the best solution.

This project contains an infrastructure for visual simulation of wireless sensor networks, which allows evaluate the energy consumption of the network when running reactive applications whose load is described by stochastic models. Besides of the performance evaluation of different network configurations, it also provides resources for evaluating dynamic network management strategies. Through experiments, the effectiveness of the framework is demonstrated to evaluate network performance considering more realistic load models as well as to evaluate strategies for load balancing.
