Abstract This paper studies how to deploy relay nodes into traditional wireless sensor networks with constraint
aiming to simultaneously optimize two important factors; average energy consumption and average
network reliability. We consider tackling this multi-objective (MO) optimization problem with three
metaheuristics, which employ greatly different evolutional strategies, and aim at an in-depth analysis
of different performances of these metaheuristics to our problem. For this purpose, a statistical
procedure is employed to analyse the results for confidence, in consideration of two MO quality metrics;
hypervolume and coverage of two sets. After comprehensive analysis of the results, it More >
