Abstract

Objectives: The dynamic spanning tree approach from Requester Node to Responder Node has been proposed for WoT for information requisition. The objective is to eliminate data redundancy in multipath communication. Methods: A spanning tree algorithm has been proposed to create a dynamic single path from Requester Node (RN) to Responding Node (ReN) in WoT Graph. Before actual communication a virtual path is established between RN and ReN which helps in the reduction of multipaths, cycles and data duplicacy. Findings: The approach is implemented and tested on different scenarios of WoT graphs in NS-2 simulator and shows good results in terms of information requisition. In a WoT graph communication multiple path exists between sender and receiver nodes causing duplicate data packets and high traffic intensity in the network, while in WoT spanning tree there is a single path. Therefore, the network throughput and the efficiency increases manifold. Application: The rapid growth of WoT enabled internet applications, decision making, marketing, healthcare, monitoring and interlinked controlled devices generates high demand for reliable and timely information.

Abstract

Objectives: High usage of internet, e-learning and social web sites are causing psychological and social problems. The research therefore intends to find the impact of it on the society. Methods: In order to find the ill effect of social web sites and e-contents on the society a survey among 521 people of different age group had been conducted through a questionnaire. The data comprises parameters relating to sleeping habit, chatting, internet usage, working hours and social relationship. The t-test and χ2 test are used to analyse the data. Findings: The research findings shows that internet addiction is growing very high and is identified as one of the upcoming causes of psychological disorders. This disorder is developing rapidly in youngesters. Out of 521 persons 61.61% are found to have eye problems, 59.11% have headache, 48.94% have backache, 52.78% have sleeping disorder, 40.49% have weight chage and 67.37% have improper eating habits. Furthermore, some of the people are found to have lost their social circle due to social web sites. Applications: The present research has a great importance in healthcare application and is usefull to know the depth of internet addiction among different generations which can spread awareness among them.
