Swarm intelligence (SI) is briefly defined as the collective behaviour of decentralized and
self-organized swarms. The well known examples for these swarms are bird flocks, fish …

The deployment problem (DP) of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is no doubt a critical
issue because the strategies it takes will not only strongly impact the overall performance but …

Network lifetime plays an integral role in setting up an efficient wireless sensor network. The
objective of this paper is twofold. The first one is to deploy sensor nodes at optimal locations …

Abstract Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used for monitoring and
tracking applications. Sensor mobility adds extra flexibility and greatly expands the …

In recent years, swarm intelligence has proven its importance for the solution of those
problems that cannot be easily dealt with classical mathematical techniques. The foraging …

Multi-hop and multi-sink wireless sensor networks have the potential to provide network
performance through efficient data exchanges. In multi-sink phenomena, clusters of nodes …

Recent advances in low-power long-range communication schemes such as LoRa have
opened up new potentials in large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, especially …

Periodic monitoring is sufficient for sweep coverage with a small number of mobile sensor
nodes, whereas a continuous monitoring with static sensor nodes is required for the …

The aim of this study is to optimize sensor networks for fast deployment in order to
reconstruct an unknown source of intentional or accidental release in local urban …

Covering a specific field and transferring data to Base Station (BS) is a real defiance.
Although there are extended efforts to build a routing protocol that avoids a high energy …
