ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters of this book, we progressively developed and presented a framework for classifying, studying, analyzing, and designing evolutionary algorithms for complex networks, with special emphasis on wireless decentralized networks. Adopting the viewpoint of Network Science and utilizing elements from social/complex network analysis, novel approaches in the analysis and design of wireless complex networks were presented from a broader perspective enabling their analysis and further extension. The main purpose was to provide a working viewpoint of the corresponding methodology and to demonstrate the potentials of the proposed approaches, while also explaining the benefits of further adopting this inherently inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary framework for the analysis and design of these and other types of networks.
