Search algorithms for path planning problems in harsh wireless sensor network environment

This dissertation presents three heuristic search algorithms which all of them descended from the origin Dijkstra’s algorithm that solve multiple different problems arise from path planning in WSN environment. The three addressed problems are 1) long initial computation delay in dynamic environment,...
