Abstract
We study multi-hop data-dissemination in a wireless network from one source to multiple nodes where some of the nodes of the network act as re-transmitting nodes and help the source in data dissemination. In this network, we study two scenarios; i) the transmitting nodes do not need an incentive for transmission and ii) they do need an incentive and are paid by their corresponding receiving nodes by virtual tokens. We investigate two problems; P1) network power minimization for the first scenario and P2) social cost minimization for the second scenario, defined as the total cost paid by the nodes of the network for receiving data. In this paper, to address P1 and P2, we propose centralized and decentralized approaches that determine which of the nodes of the network should act as transmitting nodes, find their transmit powers and their corresponding receiving nodes. For the sake of energy efficiency, in our model, we employ maximal-ratio combining (MRC) at the receivers so that a receiver can be served by multiple transmitters. The proposed decentralized approach is based on a non-cooperative cost-sharing game (CSG). In our proposed game, every receiving node chooses its respective transmitting nodes and consequently, a cost is assigned to it according to the power imposed on its chosen transmitting nodes. We discuss how the network is formed in a decentralized way, find the action of the nodes in the game and show that, despite being decentralized, the proposed game converges to a stable solution. To find the centralized global optimum, which is a benchmark to our decentralized approach, we use a mixed-integer-liner-program (MILP). Simulation results show that our proposed decentralized approach outperforms the conventional algorithms in terms of energy efficiency and social cost while it can address the need for an incentive for collaboration.

The Plagiarism Guidelines that were developed at that time subsequently became the model for another set of guidelines, this one for an additional form of author misconduct: multiple submission of the same content submitted to other publications
The following is a new section approved by the Publication Products & Services Board at its November 2015 meeting. 8.2.4.E PROHIBITED AUTHORS LIST The Prohibited Authors List (PAL) provides information about authors who have been found to have plagiarized the works of other authors and have been banned from publishing with IEEE
Summary
“Plagiarism is a threat to scholarly publishing in general and to IEEE’s publication program in particular.”. The Plagiarism Guidelines that were developed at that time subsequently became the model for another set of guidelines, this one for an additional form of author misconduct: multiple submission of the same content submitted to other publications Both of these Guidelines 1) defined the misconduct, 2) established levels of misconduct and 3) provided corresponding corrective actions, which included prohibiting an author from submitting a manuscript to a publication for a prescribed time – one to five years, depending on the severity of the misconduct. In reviewing candidates to serve as area chairs for the conference, she recognizes a name from the PAL In this scenario, a confirmed plagiarist was prevented from being named to a position of responsibility, thereby avoiding what could have been a critically embarrassing situation for the conference and for IEEE. Volunteers who use the PAL to vet candidates must remember that the PAL is a strictly confidential IEEE document, not to be circulated outside the organization
