Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Wireless Sensor Network-Based Communication for Cooperative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-01) Tuna, Gurkan; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri; Potirakis, Stelios M.; Zeadally, SheraliThis paper presents a novel approach of using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as the communication means for Multi-Robot, Cooperative, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (CSLAM) applications investigating the associated design challenges and suggesting corresponding solutions. Although the proposed approach brings several benefits including an increased coverage and communication range, self-organization capabilities, quick deployment, and flexible architecture, the realization is interrelated with performance in terms of energy efficiency and reliability. In this respect, the applicability of the WSNs for the presented approach is investigated. Centralized and distributed map merging methods in WSN-based CSLAM are evaluated in detail and the impacts of packet delays and losses on the performance of CSLAM algorithms are shown. Additionally, the involved network congestion and contention dynamics are presented, while the effects of observation range, speed, time intervals between observations, and odometry readings on the SLAM accuracy are shown based on an extensive set of simulation studies.

Many studies have examined the infrastructure as a service and software as a service aspects of cloud computing; however, few studies have focused on platform as a service (PaaS). According to recent reports, demand for enterprise PaaS solutions will increase continuously. However, different sectors require different types of PaaS applications and computing resources. Therefore, an evaluation and ranking framework for PaaS solutions according to application needs is required. To address this need, this study presents the most essential aspects of PaaS solutions and provides a framework for evaluating the performance of PaaS providers. It also proposes a suitable set of benchmarking algorithms that can help determine the most appropriate PaaS provider based on different resource needs and application requirements. Performance evaluations of three well-known cloud computing PaaS providers were conducted using the analytic hierarchy process and the logic scoring of preference methods. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
