The combination of sensor and actor nodes in wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs) has
created new challenges notably in coordination. In this paper, we survey, categorize, and …

Abstract A Wireless Sensor Network can become partitioned due to node failure, requiring
the deployment of additional relay nodes in order to restore network connectivity. This …

In mobile multi-agent networks, connectivity is a crucial factor for network-wide
collaborations. However, such connectivity can be easily sabotaged by a single or multiple …

Restoring connectivity subjected to the failure of mobile node (s) is an important research
challenge in mobile ad hoc networks. To achieve this objective, a Connectivity Restoration …

This paper studies the problem of dynamic coverage with wireless sensor and actor
networks (WSANs) in underwater environment. Different from most existing works, the …

Wireless sensor–actor networks (WSANs) are applicable in versatile domains ranging from
very common to those which demand reliable actions in the event area. The unique …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks in volatile environments may suffer damage which
partitions the network, and connectivity must be restored. We investigate the online problem …

The paper presents a novel integrated framework to restore the coverage and
communication failures within a wireless sensor network (WSN) without adding new …

Recent years are witnessing the growth of different kinds of networks including Wireless
Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). WSANs are self-configured and ad-hoc natured …

The continuous detection of sensor and actor nodes in wireless sensor actor networks
(WSANs) is facing new challenges notably in coordination. In this paper, a survey has been …
