Enhanced Energy Efficient Routing for Wireless Sensor Network Using Extended Power Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (E-PEGASIS) Protocol
Recent technological advancement in wireless communication and sensors made Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as one of the demanding platforms in the current scenario. In WSN, tiny sensor nodes are collecting and monitoring the biological data or physical data or environmental data and transmitted to the base station (BS) through gateway routers. These data can be accessed anywhere and anytime. Usually sensor nodes have restrained battery power which creates the rigorous lifetime duration issues in WSN. Sensor nodes can communicate with each other using various routing protocols. Data transmission devours more amounts of energy and power. So, energy preservation is an important factor in WSN. There are plenty of researches going on in designing less energy consuming protocols for data transmission which helps to increase the lifetime of WSN. In this paper we have proposed Extended Power Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (E-PEGASIS) protocol for enhanced energy efficient data transmission based on PEGASIS protocol. In this proposed method average distance between the sensor nodes are considered as the criterion for chaining and fix the outermost node's radio range value the base station. Later it chains the related nodes available in the radio range. Consequently, the chained node checks their distance with the next nearest end node to go on with the chaining procedure which will enhance the performance of data transmission between the sensor node and the base station. The simulation of the proposed work shows that lifetime of the network is increased when comparing to the LEACH and PEGASIS protocol. 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. -

Cloudsim exploration: A knowledge framework for cloud computing researchers
This paper aims to help find solutions for questions an early researcher may have to set up experiments in their development environment. Simultaneously, while identifying the steps required for experimenting, the authors narrowed on an experimenting toolkit for Cloud Computing as an area of their study. Because of such simulators, the cloud computing environment itself is available easily at the comfort of ones desktop resources instead of visiting an actual physical data center to collect trace and log files as data sets for real workloads. This paper acts as an experience sharing to naive researchers who are interested in how to go about to start cloud computing setups. A new framework called Cloud Computing Simulation Environment (CCSE) is presented with inspiration from Procure Apply Consider and Transform (PACT) model to ease the learning process. The literature survey in this paper shares the path taken by researchers for understanding the architecture, technology, and tools required to set up a resilient test environment. This path also depicts the introduced framework CCSE. The parameters found out of the experiments were Virtual Machines (VMs), Cloudlets, Host, and Cores. The appropriate combination of the values of the parameters would be horizontal scaling of VMs. Increasing VMs does not influence the average execution time after a specific limit on the number of VMs allocated. Nevertheless, in vertical scaling, appropriate combinations of the cores and hosts yield better execution times. Thereby maintaining the optimal number of hosts is an ultimate saving of resources in case of VM allocations. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
