Abstract: This article proposes a new method to introduce the small–world property into regular networks. A smart connection pattern, achieved by rewiring and adding connections, is suggested in order to reduce the loss of connectivity produced by the introduction of randomness in the topology. The resulting complex network exhibits the small–world property, i.e., small average distance node to node and high connectivity. This model could be used as an alternative to improve the robustness of some networks created artificially.
