We propose a new class of crossover operators for genetic algorithms (CrossNet) which use a network-based (or graphbased) chromosomal representation. We designed CrossNet with the...
In this paper, we investigate the coverage problem in wireless sensor networks using a game theory method. We assume that nodes are randomly scattered in a sensor field and the goa...
Abstract--Positioning in indoor wireless environments is growing rapidly in importance and gains commercial interests in context-awareness applications. The essential challenge in ...
