Learning Automata Approach for Social Networks

Abstract

The wavefront cellular learning automata (WCLA), which is a generalization of asynchronous cellular learning automata equipped with a diffusion capability, is a new recently introduced model for dynamic environments such as social and information networks. The WCLA as a collection of connected learning automata mapped to a structure and uses the waves on this structure to diffuse state changes of the learning automata. The diffusion ability of WCLA opens a new learning paradigm for solving many real problems in online, non-deterministic, dynamic, distributed or decentralized environments such as online social networks, cloud computing, internet of things and Blockchain technologies. In this chapter, we first provide a brief overview on cellular learning automata models and then introduce the WCLA framework as an optimization tool. The mathematical analysis on behavior of WCLA also is provided as well.
