    • Algorithms for Coverage Improvement in a Sensor Network 

      Maddi, Sunil Reddy (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      Sensors are devices which have the ability to receive and respond to a signal. These sensors, when used as a group, form a sensor network. Sensors in a sensor network can communicate and transmit data. In the early stages ...

    • Shortest Path in a Wireless Sensor Network with Multiple Sensor Failures 

      Poreddy, Sandeep Reddy (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      This paper shows how a shortest path can be obtained in a wireless sensor network, between a source sensor and a destination sensor, in a hop-by-hop fashion, considering multiple sensor failures along the path of data ...

    • Demonstrating Bid Rigging with a Shopping Agent Application Using JADE 

      Sivanandam, Dinesh (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      This paper presents the implementation of a shopping-cart agent that demonstrated collusion in online bidding. Collusion is an agreement between two or more persons, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open ...

    • Graph Data Conversion and Tree Visualization 

      Guduru, Srinivas (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      The first part of the paper is converting graph data format from GXL to GraphML. GXL and GraphML are both XML-based languages for representing graph data. The HP page segmentation tool produces output graph data in GXL ...

    • Analysis of Security Vulnerabilities in Web Applications using Threat Modeling 

      Kondamarri, Samuel Sudhakar (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      Software security issues have been a major concern to the cyberspace community; therefore, a great deal of research on security testing has been performed, and various security testing techniques have been developed. A ...

    • Positioning of Relay Stations in Wireless Sensor Networks 

      Koganti, Nikhil (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      A sensor is a device which can detect or measure a physical property and which records, indicates, or otherwise responds to the signal received. A wireless sensor in a network can communicate with the sensors located within ...
