Abstract

Research on complex networks has become multidisciplinary and has contributed to different areas of knowledge. Any discrete system can be represented by the interactions between their individuals and through the study of the mechanisms involving these interactions we can characterize and compare these interactions. This representation flexibility combined to the growing interest in the study of dynamical systems have motivated several studies in the area of complex networks. The progress in this area over the last decade helped the understanding of structural and dynamic characteristics of networks. These results open the way for research in pattern recognition area in complex networks, which still has great potential to be explored. Among the computational and mathematical tools for the study of complex systems are cellular automata and deterministic walks. Combined to complex networks these tools can be used to map the relationship between the network architecture and its dynamics regarding the perspective of pattern formation. The objective of this work is the proposal, implementation and analysis of methods for pattern recognition in complex networks using models based on automata. We intend to investigate the use of cellular automata and tourist walk, which have roots in automata theory, as means for feature extraction from networks. Thus, we identify in this project a great possibility of contribution with new methods in the area of complex networks analysis. (AU)
