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...

This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule ...

clustering is one of the known techniques in the field of data mining where data with similar properties is within the set of categories. k-means algorithm is one the simplest clustering algorithms which have disadvantages sensitive to initial values of the clusters and converging to the local optimum. in recent years, several algorithms are provided based on evolutionary algorithms for cluster...

In spite of many applications of evolutionary algorithms in optimisation, theoretical results on the computation time and time complexity of evolutionary algorithms on different optimisation problems are relatively few. It is still unclear when an evolutionary algorithm is expected to solve an optimisation problem efficiently or otherwise. This paper gives a general analytic framework for analy...
