Wireless Sensor Networks have a wide range of applications in different areas. Their main constraint is the limited and irreplaceable power source of the sensor nodes. In many applications, energy conservation of the sensor nodes and their replacement or replenishment due to the hostile nature of the environment is the most challenging issue. Energy efficient clustering and routing are the two main important topics studied extensively for this purpose. This book focuses on the energy efficient clustering and routing with a great emphasis on the evolutionary approaches. It provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction of the fundamentals of WSNs, major issues and effective solutions.

This book includes a collection of peer-reviewed best selected research papers presented at the Third International Conference on Advances in Distributed Computing and Machine Learning (ICADCML 2022), organized by Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, Telangana, India, during 15-16 January 2022. This book presents recent innovations in the field of scalable distributed systems in addition to cutting edge research in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain in distributed environments.
