In this paper, we describe an interactive approach to design mobile sensor networks.The node-mobility aspect requires an online or interactive algorithm to determine the optimal network-coverage solution for a given area of interest.Hence, we develop a real-time genetic algorithm to find the suitable direction of node locomotion, considering either coverage of the target area or estimation of the optimum energy consumption.The main purpose is to provide a solution that can extend the network lifetime.The simulation results indicate that the proposed fitness function achieves our objectives.
