Abstract

This paper explores the applicability of clustering methods for obtaining an optimal partition of a network. In order to make the network management fault-tolerant, more than one management center is assigned to each cluster of nodes in the partition. Gradient descent partition methods converge to locally optimal partitions. In contrast, a stochastic search method called evolutionary programming is employed to search for a globally optimal partition that minimizes the communication cost.
