Optimization Issues and Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks With Mobile Sink

Overview Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a new kind of ad-hoc wireless network that will probably bring new progress on the paradigm of pervasive computing. Many applications have already been envisioned for WSNs, such as: support for traffic engineering, providing information about traffic conditions, motor cars flows, etc; animal life monitoring and environment variables measurement, reporting values of temperature, dampness, brightness, etc.
