Several wild animal species are endangered by poaching. As a solution, deploying wireless sensors on animals able to send regular messages and also alert messages has been envisaged recently by several authorities and foundations. In that context, this paper proposes WildMAC, a multichannel, multihop wireless communication protocol for these specific wireless sensor networks that have to collect data from unknown large areas with different QoS requirements. WildMAC is a TDMA based MAC protocol that leverages long range communication properties to propose an efficient data collection mean. Its performance evaluation shows it meets QoS requirements.

“…While long-term tracking is usually done using animals (Merki & Laube, 2012;Sommer et al, 2015), this test attempted to do the same with humans, which created special circumstances. In contrast to animal tracking, in this test the usual sampling rate of three seconds is considerably higher, which requires higher hardware specifications and adapted methods for analysing.…”

Technological progress with regard to various sensors and mobile devices is constant. In the field of movement data analysis in particular, this has led to new opportunities thanks to data sources such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS). In recent years, many research groups have developed new approaches for analysing this data. Most of these approaches are computationally intensive and unable to deliver results in a reasonable time when run on a mobile device. This paper presents a lightweight approach, called the "cookie-cutter", which follows an alternative path by using an Eulerian model to determine stays of individuals within reasonable computation time. The quality measures used in this work show that the approach is promising with regard to both accuracy and computing requirements.

“…More recently, DTNs have also been proposed in scenarios with nearly unpredictable connectivity. This is the case of animal-tracking applications [5] and opportunistic urban networks. An example of the latter is the 30-bus experimental DieselNet [2], in which urban vehicles constrained to city roads act as mobile message routers.…”

In novel forms of the Social Internet of Things, any mobile user within communication range may help routing messages for another user in the network. The resulting message delivery rate depends both on the users' mobility patterns and the message load in the network. This new type of configuration, however, poses new challenges to security, amongst them, assessing the effect that a group of colluding malicious participants can have on the global message delivery rate in such a network is far from trivial. In this work, after modeling such a question as an optimization problem, we are able to find quite interesting results by coupling a network simulator with an evolutionary algorithm. The chosen algorithm is specifically designed to solve problems whose solutions can be decomposed into parts sharing the same structure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach on two medium-sized Delay-Tolerant Networks, realistically simulated in the urban contexts of two cities with very different route topology: Venice and San Francisco. In all experiments, our methodology produces attack patterns that greatly lower network performance with respect to previous studies on the subject, as the evolutionary core is able to exploit the specific weaknesses of each target configuration.
