We develop an heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms for finding a network configuration such that its communication structure presents complex network characteristics, e.g. a small value for the average shortest path length and high cluster coefficient. The work begins with the mathematical model of the hub location problem, developed to determine the nodes which will be configured as hubs. This model was adopted within the genetic algorithm. The results reveal that our methodology allows the configuration of networks with more than a hundred nodes with complex network characteristics, thus reducing the energy consumption and the data transmission delay.en-USTrabalho apresentado em evento
