    Graph Theoretic Clustering Algorithms in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks (survey)
    (Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, 2007) Erciyeş, Kayhan; Dağdeviren, Orhan; Çokuslu, Deniz; Özsoyeller, Deniz
    Clustering in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an important method to ease topology management and routing in such networks. Once the clusters are formed, the leaders (coordinators) of the clusters may be used to form a backbone for efficient routing and communication purposes. A set of clusters may also provide the underlying physical structure for multicast communication for a higher level group communication module which may effectively be used for fault tolerance and key management for security purposes. We survey graph theoretic approaches for clustering in MANETs and WSNS and show that although there is a wide range of such algorithms, each may be suitable for a different cross-layer design objective.

    Gezgin Tasarsız Ağlar için Taşırma Tabanlı Yönlendirme Yordamı
    (IEEE, 2008) Çokuslu, Deniz; Erciyeş, Kayhan
    Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are videly in use in rescue, military operations, scientific and business areas. Many studies are addressed in MANETs because of their need to long lasting liveness, fault tolerance, dynamic addressing, collusion prevention, mobility management and security. Especially, self clustering, backbone construction and routing are the most interesting academic and industrial research areas in MANETs. A wide range of studies addressed the routing problem in MANETs. Many previous studies address the clustering and routing problems as seperate subjects. However, rowing approaches which are specific to the clustering methodologies may have many advantages in terms of efficiency and availability. In this study, a flooding based routing algorithm is proposed. First, a detailed description of the algorithm is explained, then the analysis and test results using the ns2 simulator are given which show that the designed algorithm is scalable and has favorable performance.

    Grid Resource Discovery Based on Web Services
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Çokuslu, Deniz; Hameurlain, Abdelkader; Erciyeş, Kayhan
    The size of grid systems has increased substantially in the last decades. Resource discovery in grid systems is a fundamental task which provides searching and locating necessary resources for a given process. Various different approaches are proposed in literature for this problem. Grid resource discovery using web services is an important approach which has resulted in many tools to become de facto standards of today's grid resource management. In this paper, we propose a survey of recent grid resource discovery studies based on web services. We provide synthesis, analysis and evaluation of these studies by classification. We also give a comparative study of different classes proposed.

    A Merging Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, Kayhan; Çokuslu, Deniz
    Clustering is a widely used approach to ease implementation of various problems such as routing and resource management in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET)s. We propose a new fully distributed algorithm for clustering in MANETs that merges clusters to form higher level clusters by increasing their levels. We show the operation of the algorithm and analyze its time and message complexities and provide results in the simulation environment of ns2. Our results conform that the algorithm proposed is scalable and has a lower time and message complexities than the other algorithms

    A Dominating Set Based Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Çokuslu, Deniz; Erciyeş, Kayhan; Dağdeviren, Orhan
    We propose a new Connected Dominating Set (CDS) based algorithm for clustering in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Our algorithm is based on Wu and Li's [14] algorithm, however we provide significant modifications by considering the degrees of the nodes during marking process and also provide further heuristics to determine the color of a node in the initial phase. We describe, analyze and measure performance of this new algorithm by simulation and show that it performs better than Wu and Li's [14] algorithm especially in the case of dense networks.

    A Hierarchical Connected Dominating Set Based Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2007) Çokuslu, Deniz; Erciyeş, Kayhan
    We propose a hierarchical Connected Dominating Set (CDS) based algorithm for clustering in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Our algorithm is an extension of our previous Connected Dominating Set Based Clustering (CDSC) Algorithm [1]. We extended the levels of the CDS to two levels and improved functionality at each level by providing additional rules to make sure that every node belongs to a single cluster. In the first level of the algorithm, the elements of the CDS are formed, based on CDSC Algorithm heuristics with improved functionality. The second level of the algorithm is executed among the CDS elements to find the second level CDS where each element belonging to the set represents a group of CDS elements, therefore a group of clusters. We show that this approach is more scalable and simpler to implement than a single level algorithm and that it also provides more balanced two level clusters due to its distributed nature. We also show that the number of levels of the algorithm can be extended to more than two layers providing more populated clusters, therefore providing a level of cluster and group membership structure within the MANET. This hierarchical groups can be used for different application needs at each level such as multi-cast communication or security purposes in MANETs.

    Merging Clustering Algorithms in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
    (Springer Verlag, 2005) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, Kayhan; Çokuslu, Deniz
    Clustering is a widely used approach to ease implementation of various problems such as routing and resource management in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET)s. We first look at minimum spanning tree(MST) based algorithms and then propose a new algorithm for clustering in MANETs. The algorithm we propose merges clusters to form higher level clusters by increasing their levels. We show the operation of the algorithm and analyze its time and message complexities.
