A speculative approach to spatial-temporal efficiency with multi-objective optimization in a heterogeneous cloud environment (2016)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Cai, W., Shen, J., Fu, Z., Liu, X., & Linge, N. (2016). A speculative approach to spatial-temporal efficiency with multi-objective optimization in a heterogeneous cloud environment. Security and Communication Networks, 9(17), 4002-4012. https://doi.org/10.1002/sec.1582

A heterogeneous cloud system, for example, a Hadoop 2.6.0 platform, provides distributed but cohesive services with rich features on large‐scale management, reliability, and error tolerance. As big data processing is concerned, newly built cloud clus...

The heritage of 30 years of mobile communications in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Linge, N., & Sutton, A. (2016). The heritage of 30 years of mobile communications in the UK. Industrial Archaeology Review, 38(1), 2-18. https://doi.org/10.1080/03090728.2016.1156462

The first mobile phone networks were launched in the UK in 1985. In the 30 years that have elapsed since then, the mobile phone has evolved from an expensive device owned by the few to a mass-market smartphone that is now regarded as an essential par...

A load-balancing approach based on modified K-ELM and NSGA-II in a heterogeneous cloud environment (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, Q., Cai, W., Shen, J., Jin, D., & Linge, N. (2016, January). A load-balancing approach based on modified K-ELM and NSGA-II in a heterogeneous cloud environment. Presented at 2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), Las Vegas, NV, USA

MapReduce is a popular programming model widely used in distributed systems. With regard to large-scale applications, e.g. home energy management in a city, online social community etc., load-balancing becomes critical affecting the performance of di...

GLRM: An improved grid-based load-balanced routing method for WSN with single controlled mobile sink (2016)
Book Chapter
Liu, Q., Zhang, K., Shen, J., Fu, Z., & Linge, N. (2016). GLRM: An improved grid-based load-balanced routing method for WSN with single controlled mobile sink. In 2016 18th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology (ICACT) (34-38). IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICACT.2016.7423264

Different from the previous duster-based structure, in this paper, we present a grid-based load-balanced routing method (GLRM) that aims to use a controlled sink to achieve load-balance in a non-uniform distributed network. Cell-header election of ea... Read More about GLRM: An improved grid-based load-balanced routing method for WSN with single controlled mobile sink.

A WSN-based prediction model of microclimate in a greenhouse using extreme learning approaches (2016)
Book Chapter
