Joint Interference and Power Minimization for Fault-Tolerant Topology in Sensor Networks

IEEE Access
Energy conservation is crucial in wireless ad hoc sensor network design to increase network lifetime. Since communication consumes a major part of the energy used by a sensor node, efficient communication is important.

Randomized Search Heuristics as an Alternative to Exact Optimization [PDF]

, 2004
There are many alternatives to handle discrete optimization problems in applications. Problem-specific algorithms vs. heuristics, exact optimization vs. approximation vs. heuristic solutions, guaranteed run time vs. expected run time vs. experimental run time analysis. Here, a framework for a theory of randomized search heuristics is presented. After a

An Iterative Optimization Algorithm for Planning Spacecraft Pathways Through Asteroids

Applied Sciences
In this article, we explore the use of meta-heuristic algorithms for costly black-box permutation optimization problems. These combinatorial problems are defined by solution spaces that consist of permutations of elements, with an objective function that
