Sensor network algorithms and applications

Sensor network algorithms and applications.

A sensor network is a collection of nodes with processing, communication and sensing capabilities deployed in an area of interest to perform a monitoring task. There has now been about a decade of very active research in the area of sensor networks, with significant accomplishments made in terms of both designing novel algorithms and building exciting new sensing applications.

Reliability of swarming algorithms for mobile sensor network applications

There are many well-studied swarming algorithms (for example, [2], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9]) which are often suited to very specific purposes. As mobile sensor networks become increasingly complex, and are comprised of more and more agents, it makes sense to consider swarming algorithms for movement control. We introduce a natural way to measure the reliability of various swarming algor...

Sensors and Sensor Network Applications

This decade has been characterized by a tremendous interest in sensors and sensor networks. The renewed interest was the outcome of the advances that wireless cellular networks have scored such as massive MIMO cooperative communications, the Internet of Things (IoT) where it is predicted that billions of devices would be connected to the internet to communicate in some fashion, and Micro-Electr...

Multi-layer Clustering Topology Design in Densely Deployed Wireless Sensor Network using Evolutionary Algorithms

Due to the resource constraint and dynamic parameters, reducing energy consumption became the most important issues of wireless sensor networks topology design. All proposed hierarchy methods cluster a WSN in different cluster layers in one step of evolutionary algorithm usage with complicated parameters which may lead to reducing efficiency and performance. In fact, in WSNs topology, increasin...
