Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink (2017)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Zhang, K., Liu, X., & Linge, N. (2017). Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink. International Journal of Sensor Networks, 25(2), 1. https://doi.org/10.1504/ijsnet.2017.10007397

In a traditional wireless sensor network with static sinks, sensor nodes close to the sink run out of their batteries quicker than other nodes due to the increased data traffic towards the sink. These nodes with huge data traffic are easy to become... Read More about Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink.

With the resource-constrained nature of mobile devices and the resource-abundant offerings of the cloud, several promising optimisation techniques have been proposed by the green computing research community. Prominent techniques and unique methods h... Read More about BEFTIGRE: Behaviour-driven full-tier green evaluation of mobile cloud applications.

Educational affordances and learning design in music software development (2017)
Journal Article
Cheng, L., & Leong, S. (2017). Educational affordances and learning design in music software development. Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 26(4), 395-407. https://doi.org/10.1080/1475939x.2016.1267037

Although music software has become increasingly affordable and widely adopted in today’s classrooms, concerns have been raised about a lack of consideration for users’ needs during the software development process. This paper examines intra- and inte... Read More about Educational affordances and learning design in music software development.
