Absrac Pe nework layou omzaon s an moran and dffcul roblem n e nework engneerng. Dfferng from he revously roosed aroaches for varous omzaon formulaons, he auhors use a mehodology for e nework omzaon conssng of nework layou omzaon couled wh e szng analyss. The mehodology s based on a novel heursc omzaon algorhm nsred by An Colony Omzaon, called Cooerave Random Walk (CRW). CRW successfully fnds an omal nework layou for a range of e dameer values, as shown on a es base nework of 40 nodes and 68 es wh one source and 12 consumer nodes. The resuls clearly show how larger e dameers allow for smler nework layous, whle smaller e szes auomacally mly more comlex and longer neworks. Alhough CRW s esed on a waer suly nework roblem, s suable for oher nework omzaons as well. Keywords: Cooerave Random Walk, Pe Nework Layou Omzaon, Sochasc omzaon mehod. Inroducon Pe nework layou omzaon s an moran roblem n waer suly nework engneerng, as well as n e nework engneerng n general. Consderng he ofen hgh nsallaon cos of e neworks, fndng he mos cos-effecve e nework confguraon s necessary for achevng a long economc lfe of a e nework. Many auhors have examned he conce of omzng e neworks, coverng varous aroaches for solvng omzaon roblems arsng from dfferen asecs of e nework desgn, manenance, conrol or oeraon. Pe neworks omzaon roblems, as well as omzaon roblems n general, are formulaed by omzaon varables, obecves and consrans. The overvew of man yes of e nework omzaons s gven n Table 1. In hs aer we deal wh he roblems of omal desgn of e neworks, whch can be, accordng o as researches, classfed as szng omzaon (.e. e dameer omzaon), nework layou omzaon, or e nework layou and szng omzaon. Unrelaed o he ye of omzaon varables, dfferen omzaon obecves and omzaon consrans are defnng he omal desgn of a e nework. Mos commonly used obecve, whch regulaes he economc effcency of a nework, s he oal cos of es. The hydraulc asec of nework desgn s manly handled by dfferen consrans: rescrbed mnmum ressure or mnmum flow, nework relably ec. Omzaon of neworks by szng he es used n a redefned fxed nework layou s he mos commonly used ye of e nework desgn omzaon. Pe dameers can be consdered as dscree omzaon varables, whch mles combnaoral omzaon roblem. Ths elemenary characersc of he omzaon roblem allows for he alcaon of wde range of omzaon mehods so as o acheve omal e szng. For solvng combnaoral roblem, where e dameers are chosen from a se of avalable values, a grea number of varous mehods have been roosed: Smulaed Annealng [2], Tabu Search [3], Genec Algorhm [4, 1], Harmony Search [5], Shuffled Comlex Evoluon [6], An Colony Omzaon [7, 8, 9], Parcle Swarm Omzaon [10], Soccer League Comeon Algorhm [11] and Cross Enroy Omzaon [12]. By allowng for he excluson of es from he base nework, he e szng roblem can be easly exended o nework layou and szng omzaon. A "zero dameer" s added o he se of avalable dameers whch can be used on every e n he base nework. The e wh "zero dameer" has no cos and here s no flow hrough ha e, hus can be consdered as excluded from he e nework. Ths rases a fundamenal roblem of ossble nework layous whch are oologcally nvald, such as a nework wh a consumer node no conneced o he source or a nework wh solaed es. The descrbed layou and szng formulaon defnes a smlar omzaon roblem as e szng, and s solved by several auhors usng dfferen omzaon echnques: An Colony Omzaon [13, 14], Genec Algorhm [15, 16] and hybrd omzaon mehods such as combnaon of Genec Algorhm and Parcle Swarm Omzaon [17, 18].

The base nework (Fgure 1) s a nework of all ossble es, from whch only a subse of es wll be used o consruc ossble soluons used n omzaon rocess and, fnally, he omal nework. We denoe P = { 1 n } as se of all es n he base nework, where n s number of es n base nework. A se N = { 1 n n} reresens a se of all nodes n he base nework, where n n s he number of nodes.

Consrans for revenng ncomlee or unconneced neworks, whch are used n oher aroaches, are no needed here due o he fac ha CRW algorhm always roduces oologcally vald neworks. Hydraulc calculaon: In he research resened n hs aer, EPANET 2.0 was used for he hydraulc calculaons. EPANET gves an nsgh o he flow n each e and ressure a each node n he sysem hroughou he nework durng a smulaon erod comrsed of mulle me ses. A nework consss rmarly of es and nodes.

These laws could also be consdered as a sor of hydraulc consrans [16] ha mus be me. There are hree ossble formulas used n EPANET for he calculaon of frcon head loss n a e.

For a gven e dameer, an omal nework layou s deermned by use of CRW algorhm. Usng he omal layou, a crcal value of e dameer, for whch a leas one demand node has ressure equal o he mnmum requred ressure, s found usng a smle roo fndng mehod.

The man loo of he rocedure gradually lowers he e dameer by fndng he crcal e dameer for each layou. The e nework layou omzaon roblem s dfferen for every gven e dameer, so rovdes a comleely dfferen convergence of Cooerave Random Walk and a dfferen fnal soluon.
