A Comparative Study of Genetic and Firefly Algorithms for Sensor Placement in Structural Health Monitoring

Optimal sensor placement (OSP) is an important task during the implementation of sophisticated structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for large-scale structures. In this paper, a comparative study between the genetic algorithm (GA) and the firefly algorithm (FA) in solving the OSP problem is con...
