Complexity and robustness
Complexity and Robustness can be observed in communication networks and in biological systems. Some introductory notes, slides and references are listed below.
Slides
1. Overview of robustness (SFI robustness workshop) (ppt)
2. Design degree of freedom (ppt)
3. NAS symposium on self-organizing systems (ppt)
4. SFI networking workshop (ppt)
5. IMA talks by J. C. Doyle (ppt) and by S. H. Low (ppt)
6. ITP biology talk (ppt)
7. Robustness of Signal Transduction Networks slides from UCSB
