Abstract
The Statistical Physics of complex networks has by now given many general and
unifying insights into such diverse systems as Internet, regulatory biology
and social interactions.  However, in order to improve on a specific system
its details have to be respected. In this seminar a complex engineered system
is presented, so-called wireless multihop ad hoc communication networks. As
opposed to today s cellular phone networks, those do not come with a mastering
infrastructure and have to selforganize themselves in a distributive manner to
reach a good network performance. Methods, inspired again from Statistical
Physics, are employed to get selforganization to work.
