Improved Clonal Selection Algorithm Based on Biological Forgetting Mechanism by Chao Yang, Bing-qiu Chen, Lin Jia, Hai-yang Wen

“…A large number of antibodies with high affinity make it difficult to participate in clonal selection and exist in antibody concentration for a long time. This part of inactive antibody forms a “black hole” of the antibody set, which is difficult to remove and update in a timely manner, thus affecting the speed at which the algorithm approximates the optimal solution. …”

iAMCTD: Improved Adaptive Mobility of Courier Nodes in Threshold-Optimized DBR Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks by N. Javaid, M. R. Jafri, Z. A. Khan, U. Qasim, T. A. Alghamdi, M. Ali

“…Unlike existing depth-based acoustic protocols, the proposed protocol exploits network density for time-critical applications. In order to tackle flooding, path loss, and propagation latency, we calculate optimal holding time ( H T ) and use routing metrics: localization-free signal-to-noise ratio (LSNR), signal quality index (SQI), energy cost function (ECF), and depth-dependent function (DDF). …”
