Method and system for optimizing the network path of mobile programs

A system comprising:

• a system management workstation connected with a plurality of elements defining a network and managing the network;
• and
• a mobile program traveling over the network;
• said system management workstation and said mobile program cooperating to:
• a. get a list of network nodes to be visited;
• b. define at least one parameter or a combination of parameters characterizing the path length to be minimized between each pair of network nodes of said list;
• c. get, for each pair of network nodes of said list, the at least one parameter values from said network nodes and computing its path length;
• d. map, for each pair of network nodes of said list, respectively a reference to said couple of nodes and the computed path length to bi-dimensional coordinates;
• e. run a Kohonen neural network taking said bi-dimensional coordinates as input;
• f. obtain, in output of said Kohonen neural network, an ordered list of network nodes representing said shortest path between all the nodes;
• and
• g. send said ordered list to said mobile program.
