MANETs inherit traditional wireless and mobile communications problems such as bandwidth limitation, power conservation, and quality of service (QOS) issues. Shortest path problem in MANETs is a dynamic problem because of the unpredictable MANET environment and the continuously changing topology. To compute the continuously changing shortest path with at least two additive metrics, a meta-heuristic dynamic optimization technique is required. Some evolutionary dynamic optimization techniques (EDO) have been used to compute the shortest path in MANETs, namely multi-population genetic algorithm with immigrants scheme (iMPGA). In this thesis, we propose a modified Harmony Search (HS) algorithm called dynamic optimization harmony search algorithm (DOHS), to compute the dynamic shortest path in MANETs. When compared with iMPGA, proposed DOHS outperformed with a noticeable 98.52% reduction in time and 20.25% average improvement in solution quality UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
