Application of Hybrid Metaheuristics in Solving Magic Type Labeling of Graphs
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshghi, Koorosh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Graph Labeling is one of the most active initiatives in graph theory which was introduced in the early 1960’s. One of the most prominent kind of labeling in literature is magic-type labeling inspired by defining magic numbers and magic squares. It also encompasses various types. Total edge magic labeling of Graph G, is a bijection f from V(G)∪E(G) on the set of {1,2,…,|V(G) |+|E(G) |}, on this condition that the summation of each edge label and its vertices’ labels is constant for all edges. Since introducing total edge magic labeling, numerous researches is done that mostly are dedicated to prove mathematical theorems and depicting a whether a distinct graph is magic or not. Therefore, it...

An Investigation of Leggett’s Inequality
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shafiee, Afshin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Quantum correlations are among most intriguing problems in physics. Bell’s inequality which was proved in 1964 provides with us the possibility of comparing the predictions of quantum theory with what an underlying local realistic theory may reproduce for some given observables in correlated states. The violation of Bell’s inequality in practice prohibits the existance of such underlying theories. Yet, it is not clear which of the assumption, i.e., locality or reality is responsible for explaining the experimentally verified violations. In 2003, a Nobel prizewinner A. J. Leggett proved a new inequality in which the locality assumption was not crucial. Here, we explore different aspects of...
A Realistic Urban Mobility Model for Mobile Ad Hoc Network
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Manzuri, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a set of wireless mobile nodes that form a self configured network. MANETs do not have infrastructure and are not currently deployed on large scales. So research in this area is simulation based. Mobility model in a mobile ad hoc network explains the movement pattern of mobile users and is designed to describe the change of their location, velocity and acceleration over time. One of the challenges in this field is the definition of a common mobility model that provides an accurate and realistic movement description of mobile nodes. In this thesis we want to study the mobility pattern of vehicles on Kish Island and compare it with different kinds of...

Abstract
Due to the highly dynamic nature of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Software-Defined Network (SDN) is a promising technology to ease network management by providing a logically centralized control plane. It is a common approach to employ multiple SDN controllers to form a physically distributed SDN to achieve better fault tolerance, boost scalability, and enhance performance. Despite physical distribution, since the notion behind SDN is to logically centralize network management, it is essential to provide a consistent view of the network's state for all controllers. Deploying multiple controllers result in higher synchronization and deployment cost. Since network performance and...
