Abstract
Methods of minimizing the cherry picking potential of a network having regions in which nodes of the network may be found are disclosed. The methods randomly seed each region of the network with a node and, and an unassigned node is selected at random. A cherry picking potential is then computed for that node in the region and the method then loops around all of the nodes in all of the regions to find the minimum cherry picking potential for the network.
