A Hybrid Differential-Evolution-Based Approach to the Sensor Network Localisation Problem

Sensor networks have gained a great deal of attention due to their applicability in monitoring processes. The studied version of the sensor network localisation problem can be mathematically formulated as a graph realisation problem where the positions of the nodes have to be estimated based on the information about some other nodes. To solve this problem, we propose a hybrid differential evolution algorithm. Comparisons with other methods conducted in various problem settings show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
