Multi-objective ACO algorithm for WSN layout: performance according to number of ants

Multi-objective ACO algorithm for WSN layout: performance according to number of ants

Wireless sensor networks monitor physical or environmental conditions. One of the key objectives during their deployment is full coverage of the monitoring region with a minimal number of sensors and minimised energy consumption of the network. This problem is hard, from the computational point of view. Thus, the most appropriate approach to solve it is application of some metaheuristics. In th...

Number of Ants Versus Number of Iterations on Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Layout

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have large applications in our modern life. Some of the applications are monitoring, security, civil engineering and so on. The most important in network construction is fool coverage and lifetime of the network. The objectives of the problem are to position minimal number of sensors with minimal energy consumption. It is a hard combinatorial optimization prob...

Automatic Configuration of Multi-Objective ACO Algorithms

In the last few years a significant number of ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms have been proposed for tackling multi-objective optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a software framework that allows to instantiate the most prominent multiobjective ACO (MOACO) algorithms. More importantly, the flexibility of this MOACO framework allows the application of automatic algorithm con...
