A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Essa, A., Al-Dubai, A., Romdhani, I., & Eshaftri, M. (2016, May). A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Presented at 1st EAI International Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies (SmartGift 2016)

Since sensor nodes have limited energy resources, prolonging network lifetime and improving scalability are essential elements in energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Most existing approaches consider the residual energy of a single node... Read More about A new dynamic weight clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks.

An optical fibre Bragg grating (FBG) based strain sensor network incorporated in a functionalized textile-based carbon structure (FTCS) that can be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) is introduced. The aim of the design is not only to monito... Read More about Integrated fiber Bragg grating incorporated textile carbon reinforcement structures.

A New Weight based Rotating Clustering Scheme for WSNs (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Essa, A., Al-Dubai, A. Y., Romdhani, I., & Esriaftri, M. A. (2017, May). A New Weight based Rotating Clustering Scheme for WSNs. Presented at 2017 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)

Although energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been investigated widely, it is still a challenging dilemma. Clustering mechanisms are among the most widely recommended approaches to sustaining a network throughout its lifetime. Des... Read More about A New Weight based Rotating Clustering Scheme for WSNs.

Legierski, & A. I. Awad (Eds.), Advances in Networking Systems Architectures, Security, and Applications (317-335). Springer

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard supports both physical and Media Access Con-trol (MAC) layers of low rate Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). However, this stand-ard considers only the ideal linear power consumption, omitting the fact that the diffu-sion prin...

A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alwis, L. S. M., Bustamante, H., Bremer, K., Roth, B., Sun, T., & Grattan, K. T. V. (2016, October). A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment. Presented at 2016 IEEE SENSORS

Research has identified that humidity plays a fundamental role on the conversion of hydrogen sulphide into sulphuric acid during corrosion of concrete in gravity sewers and that potentially minor reductions in humidity can reduce corrosion rates. The... Read More about A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment.
