New Approaches to Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing ◾ 191
However, in spite of its computational cost, the application of GAs to MANET routing has
clearly gained particular relevance with a wide assortment of proposals.
e main problem with optimization processes is that as an iterative search, they take a large
amount of time to reach an acceptable solution. is is because each point of the searching process
involves a recompilation—a re-execution of the algorithm.
Artificial intelligence techniques may help in reducing the necessary effort required to solve
optimization problems as a complement for the previously studied methods especially due to their
distributed nature.
