Thin is green: Leveraging the thin-client paradigm for sustainable mobile computing

Ghose, Toolika; Namboodiri, Vinod; Pendse, Ravi (Elsevier B.V., 2015-07)

Progress in the area of environmental sustainability for the mobile computing industry could be achieved by making advancement on two fronts: reducing the energy consumed by individual devices throughout their life cycle ...

A new transmission control protocol for active RFID networks

Baloch, Fariha; Pendse, Ravi (2014-05-13)

In this paper a new transmission control protocol named IISS for active RFID networks is proposed that utilizes the concept of scanning the network for successful and unsuccessful slots using lesser number of bits (compared ...

A new anti-collision protocol for RFID networks

Baloch, Fariha; Pendse, Ravi (IEEE, 2014-04-09)

The speed at which RFID tags are read is critical to many RFID applications. Tag collisions can increase the time to gather information from tags in RFID networks. These collisions are unavoidable; however the time spent ...

Energy dependent analytical model for sustainable portable computing devices

Ghose, Toolika; Namboodiri, Vinod; Pendse, Ravi (IEEE, 2012-05)

The rapidly growing demand for portable devices brings new challenges for the research community. A great amount of prior research has focused on battery-life constraints of such portable devices. A cloud based thin client ...

Comparative study of task allocation strategies in multirobot systems

Hatime, Hicham; Pendse, Ravi; Watkins, John Michael (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2013-01)

In this paper, we present a comparative study of three distributed strategies for task allocation in a multirobot system. The objective is to determine the course of action for each robot and the targets it needs to service. ...

Cache isolation and thin provisioning of hypervisor caches

Suryanarayana, Vidya R.; Balasubramanya, Karthik Mylar; Pendse, Ravi (IEEE, 2012-10)

Server virtualization has enabled resource consolidation and has minimized the need for additional and expensive hardware. Server virtualization has been widely deployed in a lot of organizations, because of the attractive ...

Adaptive algorithms for sensor activation in renewable energy based sensor systems

Jaggi, Neeraj; Madakasira, Sreenivas; Mereddy, Sandeep Reddy; Pendse, Ravi (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013-06)

Upcoming sensor networks would be deployed with sensing devices with energy harvesting capabilities from renewable energy sources such as solar power. A key research question in such sensor systems is to maximize the ...

Analytical estimation of path duration in mobile Ad Hoc networks

Namuduri, Kameswara; Pendse, Ravi (IEEE, 2012-06)

Path duration is an important design parameter that determines the performance of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). For example, it can be used to estimate the route expiry time parameter for routes in "on demand" routing ...
