Deployment in wireless sensor networks by parallel and cooperative parallel artificial bee colony algorithms

Increasing number of cores in a processor chip and decreasing cost of dis-tributed memory based system setup have led to emerge of a new work themein which the main concern focused on the parallelization of the well-knownalgorithmic approaches for utilizing the computational power of the currentarchitectures. In this study, the performances of the conventional paralleland cooperative model based parallel Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithmson the deployment problem related to the wireless sensor networks were in-vestigated. The results obtained from the experimental studies showed thatparallelized ABC algorithm with the cooperative model is capable of findingsimilar or better coverage ratios with the increased convergence speeds thanits serial counterpart and parallelized implementation in which the emigrant ischosen as the best food source in the current subcolony.
