Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a large number of low-cost and low-power sensor nodes. Some of the applications of sensor networks are environmental observation, monitoring disaster areas and so on. Distributed evolutionary computing is a poweful tool that can be applied to WSNs, because these networks require algorithms that are capable of learning independent of the operation of other nodes and also capable of using local information (Johnson, Teredesai & Saltarelli, 2005). Evolutionary algorithms must be designed for the resource constraints present in WSNs. This article describes how genetic algorithms can be used in WSNs design in order to satisfy energy conservation and connectivity constraints.
