A Genetic-Algorithm Based Mobile Sensor Network Deployment Algorithm

Overview This paper describes a Genetic-Algorithm (GA) based deployment algorithm of mobile sensor network. The algorithm is designed for real-time online deployment for maximum coverage of the environment. The paper presents the details on the algorithm and the implementation, including the major components in the design: recombination, mutation, and the fitness function. The algorithm considers power metrics of the nodes for real-time planning of the next movement. The algorithm was implemented with Java Genetics Algorithm Package and simulated with Network Simulator for performance evaluation. The simulation showed that the algorithm helped the network to avoid local maxima in coverage.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
