Description
Summary:This research investigates the application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and three new algorithms are proposed to solve the problem of coverage in WSN. The main objectives of the research are to formulate the coverage problem in WSN as an optimization problem,to investigate the applicability of PSO to solve the coverage problem in WSN. This research also investigate the applicability of PSO to solve the coverage/energy conservation problem as; first a multiobjective optimization problem and second as a constrained optimization problem.
