In recent years, the increasingly severe water pollution problem encouraged researchers to optimize water quality monitoring sensor networks (WQMSNs) by creating new underwater sensor coverage algorithms. Since the sensor is limited by the monitoring range and the number of targets, optimizing the 3D target coverage of heterogeneous multisensors is essential to maximize the 3D target coverage rate of the monitored waters. To enhance the target coverage rate, the target allocation needs to be searched in all possible combinations. To optimize the 3D coverage of underwater targets, this research proposes a chaotic parallel artificial fish swarm algorithm (CPAFSA). CPAFSA uses chaotic selection to initialize parameters and integrates the global search capabilities of parallel operators. It also applies the elite selection which effectively avoiding local optimization and solving the problem of 3D target coverage. Ultimately, CPAFSA is compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results of the simulation experiment demonstrated the excellent performance of CPAFSA in achieving underwater 3D target coverage.

With the rapid development of Internet technology, network attacks have become more frequent and complex, and intrusion detection has also played an increasingly important role in network security. Intrusion detection is real-time and proactive, and it is an indispensable technology under the diversified trend of network security issues. In terms of network security, neural networks have the characteristics of self-learning, self-adaptation, and parallel computing, which are very important in intrusion detection. This paper combines back propagation neural network (BPNN) and elite clone artificial bee colony (ECABC) to propose a new ECABC-BPNN, which updates and optimizes the settings of traditional BPNN weights and thresholds. Then, apply ECABC-BPNN to network intrusion detection. Use the attack data samples of KDD CUP 99 and water pipe for attack classification experiments using GA-BPNN, PSO-BPNN, and ECABC-BPNN. The results show that the ECABC-BPNN proposed in this paper has an accuracy rate of 98.08% on KDD 99 and 99.76% on water pipe data. ECABC-BPNN effectively improves the accuracy of network intrusion classification and reduces classification errors. In addition, the time complexity of using ECABC-BPNN to classify network attacks is relatively low. Therefore, ECABC-BPNN has superior performance in network intrusion detection and classification.

Industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) are usually fixedly deployed in industrial environments, and various sensor nodes cooperate with each other to complete industrial production tasks. The efficient work of each sensor node of IWSNs will improve the efficiency of the entire network. Automated robots need to perform timely inspection and maintenance of IWSNs in an industrial environment. Excessive inspection distance will increase inspection costs and increase energy consumption. Therefore, shortening the inspection distance can reduce production energy consumption, which is very important for the efficient operation of the entire system. However, the optimal detection path planning of IWSNs is an N-P problem, which can usually only be solved by heuristic mathematical methods. This paper proposes a new adaptive immune ant colony optimization (AIACO) for optimizing automated inspection path planning. Moreover, novel adaptive operator and immune operator are designed to prevent the algorithm from falling into the local optimum and increase the optimization ability. In order to verify the performance of the algorithm, the algorithm is compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and immune clone algorithm (ICA). The simulation results show that the inspection distance of IWSNs using AIACO is lower than that of GA and ICA. In addition, the convergence speed of AIACO is faster than that of GA and ICA. Therefore, the AIACO proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the inspection energy consumption of the entire IWSN system.
