Cluster-based fast broadcast in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Khiati, M., & Djenouri, D. (2012). Cluster-based fast broadcast in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks. In Proceedings of 2012 IEEE 11th International Symposium on Network Computing and Applicationshttps://doi.org/10.1109/nca.2012.21

This paper proposes a cluster-based broadcast protocol to disseminate delay-sensitive information throughout a wireless sensor network (WSN). The protocol considers the use of duty-cycling at the MAC layer, which is essential to reduce energy dissipa... Read More about Cluster-based fast broadcast in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks.

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Hames, D., Panzeri, M., Ramsbottom, D., Townend, I., & Wade, S. (2012). The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast.

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...
