Graph-Based Self-Regulation for Different Types of Networks with Adaptive Topology

Abstract

This article presents graph theory-based approaches to self-regulation of networks with adaptive network topology. These approaches are limited to networks with no node mobility—peer-to-peer and heterogeneous sensor networks, as well as industrial networks on the example of Smart Grid smart energy consumption networks. For each network type, a generalized target function is described, conditions for self-regulation are formulated, and a formal description of the process of self-regulation is provided.
