Future Directions

To conclude the thesis, the following are some suggestions for the future work which can be done. In this thesis, ACO and Genetic algorithms have been used. Other bio-inspired algorithms like Stimulated Annealing, Bacterial Forage optimization, artificial Immune system (significant time and power consuming) can also be compared to ACO and Genetic algorithm, but the challenge of reducing computational complexity still remains. Comparable study of computational complexity of different algorithm need to be analysed.

Secondly, security parameter has not been evaluated in this thesis. So, new security based routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks and its validation can be a field of study. Further, the proposed protocols have to be dumped into WSN nodes and can be tested in a real time application.
