We study self-organized adaptation mechanisms of biologically inspired transport networks (e.g. plasmodial veins of slime moulds). Therefore, evolving network architectures are simulated using a generic dynamical system and weighted graphs. The graphs' edges represent tubes with Hagen-Poiseuille flow, connected through junctions, represented by their nodes. A local update rule, that changes the conductivity of the tubes (edge weights) according to the flow through them, is used as a self-organizing adaptation principle. We model these interrelated transportation and adaptation processes on paradigmatic complex network topologies (e.g. Watts-Strogatz, Barabási-Albert, Erdös-Rényi) with random initial edge weights. We examine the adaptation dynamics and find, that it exhibits discrete, cascade reorganization events until the network reaches a hierarchically organized state.
