Complexity and robustness
There is Complexity and Robustness in communication networks. Some introductory notes, slides and references are listed below.
This page was copied from 2005 <http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~doyle/SFI_robustness/> and still needs to transfer links/files over to this wiki.
Doyle's approach to this topic: in networks
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)
Note: there is a large overlap in material in the above slides
