One of the effective methods to extend the life time of sensor networks is to use clustering sensor nodes. in the present research paper, we are going to introduce a learning automata-based clustering algorithm (LACA). Our suggested algorithm is a completely distributed and independent of network size and topology one. LACA's performance was measured through a computer simulation method and it was compared with other algorithms of clustering. The results found showed that our suggested clustering algorithm led to a high performance.
