Evolving simple fault-tolerant routing rules using genetic programming

Abstract

A novel approach to solving network routing and restoration problems using the genetic programming (GP) paradigm is presented, in which a single robust and fault-tolerant program is evolved which determines the near-shortest paths through a network subject to link failures.
