Large-scale WSNs （Wireless Sensor Networks） have been considered one of the very promising technologies to support the implementation of smart grid. WSNs are applied in almost every aspect of smart grid, including power generation, power transmission, power distribution, power utilization and power dispatch, and the data query processing of ＇WSNs in power grid＇ become an hotspot issue due to the amount of data of power grid is very large and the requirement of response time is very high. To meet the demands, top-k query processing is a good choice, which performs the cooperative query by aggregating the database objects＇ degree of match for each different query predicate and returning the best k matching objects. In this paper, a framework that can effectively apply top-k query to wireless sensor network in smart grid is proposed, which is based on the cluster-topology sensor network. In the new method, local indices are used to optimize the necessary query routing and process intermediate results inside the cluster to cut down the data traffic, and the hierarchical join query is executed based on the local results.Besides, top-k query results are verified by the clean-up process, and two schemes are taken to deal with the problem of node＇s dynamicity, which further reduce communication cost. Case studies and experimental results show that our algorithm has outperformed the current existing one with higher quality results and better efficiently.展开更多

However, the ranking result always has a big deviation with actual rank for the existence of unknown web traffic, which cannot be identified accurately under current techniques. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to approximate the actual rank. This method associates unknown web traffic with websites according to statistical probabilities. Then, we construct a probabilistic top-k query model to rank websites. We conduct several experiments by using real HTTP traffic traces collected from a commercial ISP covering an entire city in northern China. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques can reduce the deviation existing between the ground truth and the ranking results vastly. In addition, we find that the websites providing video service have higher ratio of unknown IP as well as higher ratio of unknown traffic than the websites providing text web page service. Specifically, we find that the top-3 video websites have more than 90% of unknown web traffic. All these findings are helpful for ISPs understanding network status and deploying Content Distributed Network(CDN).展开更多
