Abstract :
This article discusses how end-of-life management (EoL) networks evolve and adapt by looking at different characteristics of the network components. We provide a literature review and present a theoretical analysis of EoL networks. Then, using the example of cell phone EoL management, we illustrate potential EoL network dynamics.
