Abstract :
The modeling of switching systems describing networks where death and duplication processes occur is described. A dissensus protocol, complementary to consensus protocol, is introduced and the convergence or divergence of the agents´ state evolution is studied. We discuss some properties of the topology reached by the network when different rules of duplication and inheritance are implemented.
