Community Detection in Complex Networks Using Collaborative Evolutionary Algorithms.

Scientific researchers from computer science, communication and as well from sociology and epidemiology reveal a strong interest in the study of networks. One important feature studied in complex network is the community structure. A new evolutionary technique for community detection in complex networks is proposed in this paper. The new algorithm is based on an information sharing mechanism between the individuals of a population. A real-world network is considered for numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
