Tree depth defines the maximum size of the individuals (trees) evolved in GP. The effect of program size on evolved program’s detection ability and energy consumption can be seen in Figure 2. It would ap- pear that route discuption attacks can be detected by small pro- grams. Constraining the sizes of program that can be evolved forces the technique to search for small programs in that re- duced space. The approach manages to find effective ones. The results are more dramatic for ad hoc flooding detection. We can see how small-sized programs can exhibit good detection ca- pability. Nevertheless programs with bigger program size and accordingly higher energy consumption show a slightly better performance on the detection ability. The conceptual schema of the experiments is demonstrated in Figrure 3. Figure 3: Simplified Schema of Experiments the trade-offs falling in the second biggest energy consumption interval (the chart in the top-middle) could be more optimal and acceptable, since it include points which achieve the high clas- sification accuracy with less energy consumption (than the pro- grams consume in the interval f).

It is shown how in some circumstances a multiple objective ap- proach provides a more effective means of searching the trade- off space. It is likely that for some types of networks (e.g. sen- sor networks) the ability to make good trade-offs will be partic- ularly important. Programs with almost the same classification accuracy (as obtained by GP) but with lower energy consump- tion are evolved by using MOEC techniques. More importantly a set of solutions showing different trade-offs is obtained. So programs showing different trade-offs could be distributed to nodes based on their energy level. A final choice between solu- tions making different trade-offs rests with the designer. Table 8: Performance of Some Cooperative Programs Evolved by MOEC
