Aleksandr Bogdanov and Lenin on “Things-In-Themselves” by Oittinen Vesa

“…According to Mach and Bogdanov, there is no need to duplicate human experience in appearances given in the senses and things behind these appearances. The orthodox Marxists, Lenin as well as Plekhanov, insisted that Kant’s concept of things-in-themselves should be retained, but in a modified form: the things-in-themselves do not form a limit to our knowledge, as Kant (allegedly) thought, but turn into “things-for-us” in the everyday processes of material and scientific production. …”

A Game Theory Based Strategy for Reducing Energy Consumption in Cognitive WSN by Elena Romero, Javier Blesa, Alvaro Araujo, Octavio Nieto-Taladriz

“…The strategy presented is lightweight but still has higher energy saving rates as compared to noncognitive networks and even to other strategies based on scheduled spectrum sensing. Simulations are presented for several scenarios that demonstrate energy saving rates of around 65% as compared to WSNs without cognitive techniques.…”

Multiplicatively weighted Voronoi-based sensor collaborative redeployment in software-defined wireless sensor networks by Minghua Wang, Ran Ou, Yan Wang

“…In this article, we first develop an original confident information coverage–based multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram through sensor clustering and sensor collaborative sensing. And then, we propose two sensor collaborative redeployment algorithms based on the novel confident information coverage–based multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram and software-defined wireless sensor networks architecture to provide high-confidence coverage and improve the coverage ratio. …”
