Abstract :
A simulated annealing algorithm is presented for topological optimization of communication networks. An extensive testing over networks of various sizes and configurations is made in order to choose the best values of the parameters and to adapt the simulated annealing implementation to the specific problem. The performances of the algorithm are compared to that of other traditional techniques
