In recent years, many approaches and techniques have been explored for the optimization of energy usage in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, we study a problem of placement of nodes within a network of mobile sensors. More precisely, we consider a critical network in each sensor satisfying its own missions and depending on its locations. In addition to fulfill their mission, the sensor tries to maintain a good neighboring nodes quality. We will determine the location of a node by using two criteria: the cost and the quality of communication. The aim of this work is to develop a genetic algorithm so as to solve the complicated non-convex-optimization posed in this case.
