Multicast tree construction algorithm for dynamic traffic on software defined networks

Dynamic traffic of multicast communication in the Software Defined Network environment focused less though it is more natural and practical. In multicast communication, the traffic is dynamic due to the dynamic group memberships (i.e., participants join and leave the group anytime), which are not explored much in the previous research works. The multicast in dynamic traffic requires a method to handle dynamic group membership and minimum tree alteration for every join and leave of participants from the multicast group. This paper proposes a multicast tree construction algorithm, which considers receiving devices and network capability as base parameters to construct the multicast path. The proposed routing method uses Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm for initial tree formation, identifies a multicast path, and processes the Shortest Path Tree to reduce the overall hop count and path cost. The multicast tree generated by the proposed enables the dynamic join and leaves of participating devices with reduced tree alteration using more common paths to reach the devices. The implementation and results show that the proposed method works efficiently in resource utilization with a reduced hop count and quality for multicast communication in static and dynamic scenarios. Also, the results demonstrate that the proposed method generates a stable common path for multicast communication.

A Dynamic Topology Construction Algorithm for Self-Organizing Wireless Sensor Networks

<div>Self-organizing protocols and algorithms require knowledge of the underlying topology of the network. The topology can be represented by a graph or an adjacency matrix. In most practical cases, establishing the topology prior to a deployment is not possible because the exact placement of nodes and the existence of a reliable link between any two individual nodes cannot guaranteed. Therefore, this task has to be carried out after deployment. If the network is stand-alone and certain aspects are fixed (such as the identity of the base station, the size of the network, etc.), the task is achievable. If, however, the network has to interact with other systems -- such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or mobile robots -- whose operation is affected by environmental factors, the task can be difficult to achieve. In this paper we propose a dynamic topology construction algorithm, assuming that the network is a part of a joint deployment and does not have a fixed based station.</div>

USING ASSOCIATIVE RULE CONSTRUCTION METHODS TO IDENTIFY RISK GROUPS IN PATIENTS’ DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS

The article considers the application of the Apriori association rule construction algorithm to analyze the results of the thyroid gland ultrasound examination. The algorithm is applied to solve a specific problem of organizational support of the thyroid gland examination. A software toolkit has been developed that allows physicians to apply the specified algorithm to carry out the necessary research in the process of solving diagnostic problems.
