Wireless communication between sensors allows the formation of flexible sensor networks,
which can be deployed rapidly over wide or inaccessible areas. However, the need to …

In this paper, we propose a new metaheuristic algorithm based on Lévy flight called Lévy
flight distribution (LFD) for solving real optimization problems. The LFD algorithm is inspired …

Metaheuristic algorithms have wide applicability, particularly in wireless sensor networks
(WSNs), due to their superior skill in solving and optimizing many issues in different …

Rapid change and increasing software criticality drive successful development and
acquisition organizations to balance the agility and discipline of their key processes. The …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many fields of application, including industrial,
environmental and military domains. Monitoring a given zone is one of the main goals of this …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is proposed in the late 1990s have received
unprecedented attention, because of their exciting potential applications in military …

As one of the crucial scenarios of the Internet of Things, wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
perform tasks invariably on the basis of the effective cover effect of targets. The cover effect …

The effectiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSN) depends on the coverage and
connectivity provided by node deployment, which is one of the key topics in WSN. In this …

We consider sensor self-deployment problem, constructing FOCUSED coverage (F-
coverage) around a Point of Interest (POI), with novel evaluation metric, coverage radius. We …

In this paper, we address the problem of deploying heterogeneous mobile sensors over a
target area. Traditional approaches to mobile sensor deployment are specifically designed …
