Abstract :
Finding an optimal topology for a wide area network is a complex task which involves solving some form of simultaneous constrained optimization problem. Heuristic approaches have been widely used for solving this class of problems. This paper discusses the formulation of this class of problems as optimizing the topology of an artificial neural network and the use of genetic algorithms as heuristics inputs to the artificial neural networks for an end-to-end ATM environment
