Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern society is living a moment of paradigm changes. These changes have been instigated by new technologies such as high-performance computing, cloud computing, and internet of things. Nowadays, we are observing an almost immediate exchange of information worldwide, creating big data pipelines that enable the emergence of complex artificial intelligence systems. This digital revolution promotes the emergence of a complex system where conflicting goals need to be considered. This can be specially observed in wireless networks (WSNs), where there are several tradeoffs, such as energy consumption and coverage area. In this scenario, the multiobjective optimization (MOO) technique allows the determination of possible conditions portrayed in a set of known solutions. Therefore, developments in this optimization field might play an essential role in digital transformation.

Hence, this Special Issue aims to discuss advances in mathematical scalarization methods, heuristics/metaheuristics-based optimization algorithms, and other advanced optimization techniques to address WSNs problems. However, it seeks to provide a broader discussion in the optimization field. Thus, any work in a related optimization field is welcome. Furthermore, developments in the sensors field are welcome, including soft sensors.

As sensors are distributed among wireless sensor networks (WSNs), ensuring that the batteries and processing power last for a long time, to improve energy consumption and extend the lifetime of the WSN, is a significant challenge in the design of network clustering techniques. The sensor nodes are divided in these techniques into clusters with different cluster heads (CHs). Recently, certain considerations such as less energy consumption and high reliability have become necessary for selecting the optimal CH nodes in clustering-based metaheuristic techniques. This paper introduces a novel enhancement algorithm using Aquila Optimizer (AO), which enhances the energy balancing in clusters across sensor nodes during network communications to extend the network lifetime and reduce power consumption. Lifetime and energy-efficiency clustering algorithms, namely the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol as a traditional protocol, genetic algorithm (GA), Coyote Optimization Algorithm (COY), Aquila Optimizer (AO), and Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO), are evaluated in a wireless sensor network. The paper concludes that the proposed AO algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of alive nodes analysis and energy consumption. Full article
