A Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN) is a group of wireless devices with the ability to sense physical events (sensors) or/and to perform relatively complicated actions (actors), based on the sensed data shared by sensors. This paper presents design and implementation of a simulation system based on Deep Q-Network (DQN) for mobile actor node control in WSANs. DQN is a deep neural network structure...
