In this paper, we propose a human-based model which builds a trust relationship between
nodes in an ad hoc network. The trust is based on previous individual experiences and on …

Self-protecting software systems are a class of autonomic systems capable of detecting and
mitigating security threats at runtime. They are growing in importance, as the stovepipe static …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a kind of infrastructure-less wireless network that is self-
organized by mobile nodes communicating with each other freely and dynamically. MANET …

Since conventional software security approaches are often manually developed and
statically deployed, they are no longer sufficient against today's sophisticated and evolving …

A novel image quality enhancement framework is proposed here through a collective
inspiration of the exponential, differential and linear operational behavior of pixel intensities …

The trust is always present implicitly in the protocols based on cooperation, in particular,
between the entities involved in routing operations in Ad hoc networks. Indeed, as the …

The QOLSR is a multimedia protocol that was designed on top of the optimized link state
routing (OLSR) protocol for mobile ad hoc network. It considers the quality of service (QoS) …

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are required to
develop a strong security scheme it is therefore necessary to understand how malicious …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a type of infrastructure-less network with mobile nodes
communicating with each other. The distributed administration and dynamic nature of …

We consider the problem of assuring the trustworthiness (ie reliability and robustness) and
prolonging the lifetime of wireless ad hoc networks, using the OLSR routing protocol, in the …
