TL;DR: The author presents a brief survey on various bio inspired swarm intelligence based protocols used in routing data in wireless sensor networks while outlining their general principle and operation.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that utilizing a mobile sink to harvest and carry data from a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can improve network operational efficiency as well as maintain uniform energy consumption by the sensor nodes in the network. Due to Sink mobility, the path between two sensor nodes continuously changes and this has a profound effect on the operational longevity of the network and a need arises for a protocol which utilizes minimal resources in maintaining routes between the mobile sink and the sensor nodes. Swarm Intelligence based techniques inspired by the foraging behavior of ants, termites and honey bees can be artificially simulated and utilized to solve real wireless network problems. The author presents a brief survey on various bio inspired swarm intelligence based protocols used in routing data in wireless sensor networks while outlining their general principle and operation.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the application of several methodologies under the CI umbrella to the WSAN field and describes and categorizes existing works leaning on fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, learning systems, and their hybridizations to well-known or emerging WSAN problems along five major axes.
Abstract: Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) are heterogeneous networks composed of many different nodes that can cooperatively sense the environment, determine an appropriate action to take, then change the environment’s state after acting on it. As a natural extension of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), WSANs inherit from them a variety of research challenges and bring forth many new ones. These challenges are related to dealing with imprecise and vague information, solving complicated optimization problems or collecting and processing data from multiple sources. Computational intelligence (CI) is an overarching term denoting a conglomerate of biologically and linguistically inspired techniques that provide robust solutions to NP-hard problems, reason in imprecise terms and yield high-quality yet computationally tractable approximate solutions to real-world problems. Many researchers have consequently turned to CI in hope of finding answers to a plethora of WSAN-related challenges. This paper reviews the application of several methodologies under the CI umbrella to the WSAN field. We describe and categorize existing works leaning on fuzzy systems , neural networks , evolutionary computation , swarm intelligence , learning systems , and their hybridizations to well-known or emerging WSAN problems along five major axes: 1) actuation; 2) communication; 3) sink mobility; 4) topology control; and 5) localization. The survey offers informative discussions to help reason through all the studies under consideration. Finally, we point to future research avenues by: 1) suggesting suitable CI techniques to specific problems; 2) borrowing concepts from WSNs that have yet to be applied to WSANs; or 3) describing the shortcomings of current methods in order to spark interest on the development of more refined models.

TL;DR: A particle swarm optimization-based energy efficient clustering protocol (PSO-EEC) is proposed to enhance the network lifetime and performance and is compared with the various existing approaches in terms of different performance parameters such as energy expenditure, network lifetime, and throughput to evaluate its effectiveness.
Abstract: The nodes in the wireless sensor network are furnished with restricted and irreplaceable battery power. The continuous sensing, computation, and communication drain out the energy of sensors very quickly. The optimal utilization of the sensor energy has always been a key issue for all the applications in the wireless sensor network. To manage the energy issue of nodes, various approaches were proposed in the past which focused on designing the proper energy management methods. The clustering of sensors is one of the most popular techniques used to manage the energy-related concerns of networks. In this paper, a particle swarm optimization-based energy efficient clustering protocol (PSO-EEC) is proposed to enhance the network lifetime and performance. The proposed protocol uses the particle swarm optimization technique to select the cluster head and relay nodes for the network. The cluster head is selected by employing the particle swarm optimization based fitness function which considers the energy ratio (initial energy and residual energy) of nodes, distance between nodes and cluster head, and node degree to appoint the most optimal node for the cluster head job. For the data transfer to base station, the proposed scheme uses the fitness value based on residual energy of cluster head and distance to base station parameters to nominate the relay nodes for the multi-hop data transfer to the base station. The performance of the proposed protocol is compared with the various existing approaches in terms of different performance parameters such as energy expenditure, network lifetime, and throughput to evaluate its effectiveness. The proposed scheme has improved the lifetime of the network by 238%, 136%, 106%, and 71% as compared to the existing MDCH-PSO, MCHEOR, MOPSO, and HSA-PSO techniques used in the simulation results for the comparison purpose. The stability period of the network in proposed scheme is approximately 396%, 321%, 246%, and 126% more than the existing MDCH-PSO, MCHEOR, MOPSO, and HSA-PSO protocol .

TL;DR: The modern age metaheuristics that gained popular use in mostly cited combinatorial optimization problems such as vehicle routing problems, traveling salesman problems, and supply chain network design problems are analyzed and discussed.
Abstract: Combinatorial optimization problems are often considered NP-hard problems in the field of decision science and the industrial revolution. As a successful transformation to tackle complex dimensional problems, metaheuristic algorithms have been implemented in a wide area of combinatorial optimization problems. Metaheuristic algorithms have been evolved and modified with respect to the problem nature since it was recommended for the first time. As there is a growing interest in incorporating necessary methods to develop metaheuristics, there is a need to rediscover the recent advancement of metaheuristics in combinatorial optimization. From the authors’ point of view, there is still a lack of comprehensive surveys on current research directions. Therefore, a substantial part of this paper is devoted to analyzing and discussing the modern age metaheuristic algorithms that gained popular use in mostly cited combinatorial optimization problems such as vehicle routing problems, traveling salesman problems, and supply chain network design problems. A survey of seven different metaheuristic algorithms (which are proposed after 2000) for combinatorial optimization problems is carried out in this study, apart from conventional metaheuristics like simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, and tabu search. These metaheuristics have been filtered through some key factors like easy parameter handling, the scope of hybridization as well as performance efficiency. In this study, a concise description of the framework of the selected algorithm is included. Finally, a technical analysis of the recent trends of implementation is discussed, along with the impacts of algorithm modification on performance, constraint handling strategy, the handling of multi-objective situations using hybridization, and future research opportunities.
