We study an extension of cellular automata to arbitrary interconnection topologies for the majority problem. By using an evolutionary algorithm, we show that small-world network topologies consistently evolve from regular and random structures without being designed beforehand. These topologies have better performance than regular lattice structures and are easier to evolve, which could explain in part their ubiquity.

Abstract
We study an extension of cellular automata to arbitrary interconnection topologies for the majority problem. By using an evolutionary algorithm, we show that small-world network topologies consistently evolve from regular and random structures without being designed beforehand. These topologies have better performance than regular lattice structures and are easier to evolve, which could explain in part their ubiquity.
