70 Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks

Evolutionary computing has been applied and has potential applications

in all three of the above classes of automated problem solving systems. For

instance, the ant-colony optimization technique, which has been inspired by

the observation of ant colonies, has been successfully applied in various di-

verse applications, such as for reverse optimization of car airfoils in mechanical

engineering [53]. Evolutionary computing has also been applied in modeling

problems, as in applications where available data, e.g., socio- and geo-location

data, were required to be matched to the profiles of users/clients for mobile

operators, financial institutions, etc. Such
