Sparse array design by means of Social Network Optimization

This paper presents a recently developed algorithm based on the emulation of decision making process in social network environments, called Social Network Optimization (SNO). The design of a sparse array is here addressed in order to assess SNO's performance on a benchmark EM optimization problem. Reported results show its effectiveness in dealing with EM problems.
