"Energy Efficient Virtual Network Embedding in Virtualized Wireless Sen" by Vahid Maleki Raee, Amin Ebrahimzadeh et al.
In traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) the applications are embedded in sensor nodes, making them application-oriented, domain-specific devices. Virtualization is a promising approach to allow several applications to use the physical resources of the same deployed WSN. Given that WSN sensor nodes hold limited available energy, efficient allocation and utilization of resources become important. In this paper, we study the problem of virtual network embedding in virtualized WSNs in a static setting. Our objective is to minimize the overall energy consumption by embedding the application ...
