| Abstract | In this paper we consider a cooperative application deployed over mobile nodes that aims to connect them in order to form a network where they can continuously interact together. Two types of nodes are considered, cooperative and non-cooperative. The former can move and change its location to connect itself or other nodes to the target network, whereas the latter does not move. Our objective then is to maximize the number of connected nodes in this partially cooperative network while minimizing the traveled distances performed by cooperative nodes. This leads to an NP-Hard optimization problem which is solved through several algorithms designed using clustering and assignment techniques. We also model the application as a non-linear mixed integer problem in order to compare with numerical solutions in a reasonable scale scenario. Simulation results show that algorithms based on cloudy clustering combined with a weighted cost assignment technique increase the number of connected nodes while reducing the traveled distance, compared to Force-based algorithms. Since our algorithm is designed by analyzing several strategies and by focusing on the connectivity-movement tradeoff, it achieves within 10% of the optimal numerical solution in term of traveled distance. Besides, it provides functional insights on how node movement can be controlled in such mobile cooperative networks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
