Abstract

New technologies and the deployment of mobile and nomadic services are driving theemergence of complex com- munications networks, that have a highly dynamic behavior. Modeling suchdynamics, and designing algorithms that take it into account, received considerable attention recently. Inthis paper, we introduce the evolving graphs, a simple model which aims at harnessing the complexity ofan evolving setting as yielded by dynamic communication networks. We exemplify its use through thecomputation of shortest paths under different hypotheses in fixed-schedule dynamic networks.
