abstract = "The generation of network topologies with specific,
user-specified statistical properties is addressed
using an Evolutionary Algorithm that is seeded by an
Artificial Gene Regulatory Network Model. The work
presented here extends previous work where the proposed
approach was demonstrated to be able to evolve
scale-free topologies. The present results reinforce
the applicability of the proposed method, showing that
the evolution of small-world topologies is also
possible, but requires a carefully crafted fitness
function.",
