| Abstract | Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are captivating significant attention because of their suitability for safety–critical applications. Efficient actor placement in such applications is extremely desirable to perform effective and timely action across the deployment region. Nonetheless, harsh application environment inherently favors random placement of actors that leads to high concentration deployment and strangles coverage. Moreover, most of the published schemes lack rigorous validation and entirely rely on informal techniques (e.g., simulation) for evaluating nonfunctional properties of algorithms. This paper presents a localized movement control actor relocation (MCAR) algorithm that strives to improve connected coverage while minimizing movement overhead. MCAR pursues post-deployment actor repositioning in such a way that actors repel each other for better coverage while staying connected. We employ complementary formal and informal techniques for MCAR verification and validation. We model WSAN as a dynamic graph and transform MCAR to corresponding formal specification using Z notation. The resulting specification is analyzed and validated using Z eves tool. We simulate the specification to quantitatively demonstrate the efficiency of MCAR. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of MCAR in terms of movement overhead and connected coverage compared to contemporary schemes. The results show that MCAR can reduce distance movement up to 32 % while improving coverage up to 29 % compared to published schemes. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
