Main Contributions of this Dissertation} %The coverage problem in WSNs is becoming more and more important for many applications ranging from military applications such as battlefield surveillance to the civilian applications such as health-care surveillance and habitant monitoring. The main contributions in this dissertation concentrate on designing distributed optimization protocols to extend the lifetime of WSNs.

Dissertation Outline} The dissertation is organized as follows: the next chapter presents a scientific background about wireless sensor networks. Chapter 2 states a review of the related literatures to the coverage problem in WSNs, prior works and current works. Evaluation tools and optimization solvers are investigated in chapter 3. Chapter 4 describes the proposed DiLCO protocol, while chapter 5 and 6 respectively present the MuDiLCO and PeCO protocols. Finally, we conclude our work in chapter 7.
