  • MDPF: Minimum Distance Packet Forwarding for Search Applications in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Artail, Hassan; Mershad, Khaleel (2024-02-29)
    This paper introduces a message forwarding algorithm for search applications within mobile ad hoc networks that is based on the concept of selecting the nearest node from a set of designated nodes. The algorithm, which is ...
  • COACS: A Cooperative and Adaptive Caching System for MANETs 
    Artail, Hassan; Safa, Haidar; Mershad, Khaleel; Abou-Atme, Zahy; Sulieman, Nabeel (2024-02-29)
    This paper introduces a cooperation-based database caching system for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The heart of the system is the nodes that cache submitted queries. The queries are used as indices to data cached in ...
  • CODISC: Collaborative and distributed semantic caching for maximizing cache effectiveness in wireless networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2024-02-29)
    In wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), a mobile node would normally acquire data from a data server through an access point by sending the server a request each time it needs data. To reduce the high costs normally ...
  • SSUM: Smart Server Update Mechanism for Maintaining Cache Consistency in Mobile Environments 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2024-02-29)
    This paper proposes a cache consistency scheme based on a previously proposed architecture for caching database data in MANETs. The original scheme for data caching stores the queries that are submitted by requesting nodes ...
  • ROAMER: Roadside Units as message routers in VANETs 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan; Gerla, Mario (2024-02-28)
    Vehicular Ad hoc Networks, also known as VANETs, enable vehicles that are not necessarily within the same radio transmission range to communicate with each other. VANETs also allow vehicles to connect to Roadside Units ...
  • A Framework for Secure and Efficient Data Acquisition in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2024-02-28)
    Intervehicular communication lies at the core of a number of industry and academic research initiatives that aim at enhancing the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enable ...
  • We Can Deliver Messages to Far Vehicles 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan; Gerla, Mario (2024-02-28)
    Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enable vehicles to communicate with each other but require efficient and robust routing protocols for their success. In this paper, we exploit the infrastructure of roadside units (RSUs) ...
  • SCORE: Data Scheduling at roadside units in vehicle ad hoc networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2024-02-24)
    Data Acquisition and delivery in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is an important topic that has received very little attention. We proposed a system in which roadside units (RSUs) were exploited to satisfy the various ...
  • Finding a STAR in a Vehicular Cloud 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2024-02-28)
    The strong capabilities that exist in a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) has given birth to the concept of Vehicular Clouds, in which cloud computing services are hosted by vehicles that have sufficient resources to act ...
  • A Study of the Performance of a Cloud Datacenter Server 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan; Saghir, Mazen A.R.; Hajj, Hazem; Awad, Mariette (2024-02-28)
    In a previous work, we presented a system which combines active solid state drives and reconfigurable FPGAs (which we called reconfigurable active SSD nodes, or simply RASSD nodes) into a storage-compute node that can be ...
  • A mathematical model to analyze the utilization of a cloud datacenter middleware 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan; Saghir, Mazen; Hajj, Hazem; Awad, Mariette (2024-02-27)
    Cloud computing is the future paradigm that will dominate the visualization and processing of web data. Achieving high performance in storing and processing huge amounts of data in the cloud has been a major research concern ...
  • A Learning Management System Enhanced with Internet of Things Applications

    Mershad, Khaleel; Malluhi, Qutaibah M.; Ouzzani, Mourad; Tang, Mingjie; Gribskov, Michael; Aref, Walid G.; Prakash, Deo (2024-02-27)
    Data curation activities in collaborative databases mandate that collaborators interact until they converge and agree on the content of their data. In a previous work, we presented a cloud-based collaborative database ...
  • AUDIT: approving and tracking updates with dependencies in collaborative databases 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Malluhi, Qutaibah M.; Ouzzani, Mourad; Tang, Mingjie; Gribskov, Michael; Aref, Walid G. (2024-02-27)
