Method and device for the genetic representation and evolution of networks
First Claim
1. A method for the genetic representation of a network, said network comprising one or more devices, each of said devices comprising at least one terminal, said at least one terminal being connected to at least one other terminal by a link characterized by a value of interaction strength, said method comprising the steps of:
- associating with said at least one terminal a first sequence of characters, associating with said at least one other terminal a second sequence of characters, mapping at least part of said first sequence of characters and at least part of said second sequence of characters to said value of interaction strength in order to determine said value of interaction strength.

Abstract
A method for the genetic representation of a network (100), the network having one or more devices (20, 30, 70, 80), each device comprising at least one terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72) connected to at least one other terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72, 61) by a link with a value of interaction strength. The method includes associating with the devices terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72) a first sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172), associating with the other terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72, 61) a second sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172; 162), mapping at least part of the first sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172) and at least part of the second sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172; 161) to the value of interaction strength in order to determine the value of interaction strength.

- 20. A genome for the genetic representation of a network, said genome being constituted of a sequence of characters belonging to a genetic alphabet, said genome comprising at least one device token determining the nature of a device of said network, at least one terminal token indicating the presence of a sequence of character associated with a terminal of said device.

22. A method for the synthesizing of a network from its genome, said genome being constituted of a sequence of characters belonging to a genetic alphabet, said method comprising the steps of:
-
scanning the genome in a predetermined direction, detecting the presence in said genome of a device token signaling the presence in said network of a corresponding device, detecting the presence in said genome of a terminal token indicating the presence of a first sequence of characters associated with a terminal of said device, mapping at least part of said first sequence of characters and at least part of a second sequence of characters associated with another terminal to a value of interaction strength characterizing a link connecting said terminal to said another terminal, in order to determine said value of interaction strength. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)

25. A method for the genetic representation of a network into a genome constituted of a sequence of characters belonging to a genetic alphabet, said network comprising at least one device, said at least one device comprising at least one terminal, said at least one terminal being connected to at least one other terminal by a link characterized by a value of interaction strength, said method comprising the steps of:
-
inserting into said genome a device token signaling the presence in said network of a said at least one device, inserting into said genome a terminal token indicating the presence of a first sequence of characters associated with said at least one terminal of said device, wherein said first sequence of characters determines a value of interaction strength characterizing a link connecting said at least one terminal with another terminal when at least part of said first sequence of characters and at least part of a second sequence of characters associated with said another terminal are mapped to said value of interaction strength. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
