I want to know what is best simulator can be used for Localization in wireless sensor network , if we want to use optimization algorithms such as ABC, PSO and so on.
Dear Hanaa,
I was once working in this area. There are proprietary and free tools.
Proprietary: Omnet ++, OPnet
Free: NS-2, NS-3
If you can code in MATLAB you could also use it. There are also networking tool boxes in MATLAB.
NB: The learning curve of NS-2 and NS-3 is very steep.
Dear Hanaa Zaineldin,
Look the link, may be useful.

there are any scripts with NS2 related to localization algorithms such as DV-Hop?
Good Day:
If you interested to use Ns-2 then this may help you

Hanaa, Understanding and programming NS2/NS3 is very very difficult. I would suggest you go for NetSim which is a commercial tool but discounted for educational users. You can also look at an example project on WSN localization using anchor nodes & trilateration is available at http://tetcos.com/file-exchange.html
There is no best algorithm for WSN localization . Each algorithm has some drawbacks and advantages. the performance of any localization algorithm depends on the quality of scenario under test, the type of information measurements and the quality of localization algorithm. in addition, there is some restrictions that effect the algorithm design, such as measurements and sensors error, multi-path signals, and the measurement type (TDOA, TOA, AOA, RSS).
finally, I think the localization is depended on the philosophy behind conception of your proposed model.

I am agree with the answer of Abubakar Bala
