Book Synopsis Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks by : Vasileios Karyotis
Download or read book Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks written by Vasileios Karyotis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, most network design techniques employed a bottom-up approach with lower protocol layer mechanisms affecting the development of higher ones. This approach, however, has not yielded fascinating results in the case of wireless distributed networks. Addressing the emerging aspects of modern network analysis and design, Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks introduces and develops a top-bottom approach where elements of the higher layer can be exploited in modifying the lowest physical topology—closing the network design loop in an evolutionary fashion similar to that observed in natural processes. This book provides a complete overview of contemporary design approaches from the viewpoint of network science and complex/social network analysis. A significant part of the text focuses on the classification and analysis of various network modification mechanisms for wireless decentralized networks that exploit social features from relevant online social networks. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and introductory material and slowly builds to more detailed analysis and advanced concepts. Each chapter also identifies open issues, while by the end of the book, potential research directions are summarized for the more interested researcher or graduate student. The approach outlined in the book will help network designers and administrators increase the value of their infrastructure without requiring any significant additional investment. Topics covered include: basic network graph models and properties, cognitive methods and evolutionary computing, complex and social network analysis metrics and features, and analysis and development of the distinctive structure and features of complex networks. Considering all aspects of modern network analysis and design, the text covers the necessary material and background to make it a suitable source of reference for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists
Book Synopsis Evolutionary Dynamics in Complex Networks of Adaptive and Competing Agents by : Baosheng Yuan
Download or read book Evolutionary Dynamics in Complex Networks of Adaptive and Competing Agents written by Baosheng Yuan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use minority game model to investigate evolutionary dynamics in complex networks of adaptive agents competing for limited resources. We show that the dynamics and the associated phase structures critically depend on the underlying network organizations, and evolution is a key mechanism for the emergence of high-order coordination among the networked agents. A non-growing random directed network admits a clear phrase transition from a stable or quot;criticalquot; state to a quot;chaoticquot; state. In contrast, no such phrase transition has been detected in a growing directed network; Instead, it permits stable or quot;criticalquot; dynamics for all the connectivity. The dynamics of a scale-free directed network is found sensitive to its connectivity if a small fraction of link reversal is allowed in the network: The evolutionary dynamics exhibits a gradual phase transition from the stable (or quot;criticalquot;) state to the quot;chaoticquot; regime with increase of the connectivity number K; this suggests that the scale-free directed network is vulnerable to a small fraction of quot;errorsquot; in its network organization. The underlying sources for the emergence of these dynamics are the organizations of the networks and can be understood with a descendant clusters theory. Evolution dramatically enhances the performance of a system in a stable or quot;criticalquot; regime, but has no effect on a system in quot;chaoticquot; state; such attribute can be empowered to typify the dynamics of a complex network. The impact of evolution on system efficiency lies in its ability in reducing quot;crowdednessquot; of agents' strategies and can be explained by a crowd-anticrowd theory.

Book Synopsis The Evolutionary Dynamics of Discursive Knowledge by : Loet Leydesdorff
Download or read book The Evolutionary Dynamics of Discursive Knowledge written by Loet Leydesdorff and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book addresses three themes which have been central to Leydesdorff's research: (1) the dynamics of science, technology, and innovation; (2) the scientometric operationalization of these concept; and (3) the elaboration in terms of a Triple Helix of university-industry-government relations. In this study, I discuss the relations among these themes. Using Luhmann's social-systems theory for modelling meaning processing and Shannon's theory for information processing, I show that synergy can add new options to an innovation system as redundancy. The capacity to develop new options is more important for innovation than past performance. Entertaining a model of possible future states makes a knowledge-based system increasingly anticipatory. The trade-off between the incursion of future states on the historical developments can be measured using the Triple-Helix synergy indicator. This is shown, for example, for the Italian national and regional systems of innovation.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex networks underlie a variety of social, biological, physical, and virtual systems. Understanding the topology of networks, the manner in which agents interact and evolutionary dynamics of the system can be challenging, both computationally and theoretically. In many settings, network data is incomplete; it is impossible to observe all nodes and all network interactions due to samplingconstraintsin large datasets or covert interactions between agents.
Book Synopsis Complex Systems and Networks by : Jinhu Lü
Download or read book Complex Systems and Networks written by Jinhu Lü and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elementary book provides some state-of-the-art research results on broad disciplinary sciences on complex networks. It presents an in-depth study with detailed description of dynamics, controls and applications of complex networks. The contents of this book can be summarized as follows. First, the dynamics of complex networks, for example, the cluster dynamic analysis by using kernel spectral methods, community detection algorithms in bipartite networks, epidemiological modeling with demographics and epidemic spreading on multi-layer networks, are studied. Second, the controls of complex networks are investigated including topics like distributed finite-time cooperative control of multi-agent systems by applying homogenous-degree and Lyapunov methods, composite finite-time containment control for disturbed second-order multi-agent systems, fractional-order observer design of multi-agent systems, chaos control and anticontrol of complex systems via Parrondos game and many more. Third, the applications of complex networks provide some applicable carriers, which show the importance of theories developed in complex networks. In particular, a general model for studying time evolution of transition networks, deflection routing in complex networks, recommender systems for social networks analysis and mining, strategy selection in networked evolutionary games, integration and methods in computational biology, are discussed in detail.

Book Synopsis Evolution from Cellular to Social Scales by : Arne T. Skjeltorp
Download or read book Evolution from Cellular to Social Scales written by Arne T. Skjeltorp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution is a critical challenge for many areas of science, technology and development of society. The book reviews general evolutionary facts such as origin of life and evolution of the genome and clues to evolution through simple systems. Emerging areas of science such as "systems biology" and "bio-complexity" are founded on the idea that phenomena need to be understood in the context of highly interactive processes operating at different levels and on different scales. This is where physics meets complexity in nature, and where we must begin to learn about complexity if we are to understand it. Similarly, there is an increasingly urgent need to understand and predict the evolutionary behavior of highly interacting man-made systems, in areas such as communications and transport, which permeate the modern world. The same applies to the evolution of human networks such as social, political and financial systems, where technology has tended to vastly increase both the complexity and speed of interaction, which is sometimes effectively instantaneous. The book contains reviews on such diverse areas as evolution experiments with microorganisms, the origin and evolution of viruses, evolutionary dynamics of genes and environment in cancer development, aging as an evolution-facilitating program, evolution of vision and evolution of financial markets.
Book Synopsis Dynamics Among Nations by : Hilton L. Root
Download or read book Dynamics Among Nations written by Hilton L. Root and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative view of the changing geopolitical landscape that draws on the science of complex adaptive systems to understand changes in global interaction. Liberal internationalism has been the West's foreign policy agenda since the Cold War, and the West has long occupied the top rung of a hierarchical system. In this book, Hilton Root argues that international relations, like other complex ecosystems, exists in a constantly shifting landscape, in which hierarchical structures are giving way to systems of networked interdependence, changing every facet of global interaction. Accordingly, policymakers will need a new way to understand the process of change. Root suggests that the science of complex systems offers an analytical framework to explain the unforeseen development failures, governance trends, and alliance shifts in today's global political economy. Root examines both the networked systems that make up modern states and the larger, interdependent landscapes they share. Using systems analysis—in which institutional change and economic development are understood as self-organizing complexities—he offers an alternative view of institutional resilience and persistence. From this perspective, Root considers the divergence of East and West; the emergence of the European state, its contrast with the rise of China, and the network properties of their respective innovation systems; the trajectory of democracy in developing regions; and the systemic impact of China on the liberal world order. Complexity science, Root argues, will not explain historical change processes with algorithmic precision, but it may offer explanations that match the messy richness of those processes.
Book Synopsis Temporal Network Theory by : Petter Holme
Download or read book Temporal Network Theory written by Petter Holme and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the theoretical side of temporal network research and gives an overview of the state of the art in the field. Curated by two pioneers in the field who have helped to shape it, the book contains contributions from many leading researchers. Temporal networks fill the border area between network science and time-series analysis and are relevant for epidemic modeling, optimization of transportation and logistics, as well as understanding biological phenomena. Over the past 20 years, network theory has proven to be one of the most powerful tools for studying and analyzing complex systems. Temporal network theory is perhaps the most recent significant development in the field in recent years, with direct applications to many of the “big data” sets. This book appeals to students, researchers, and professionals interested in theory and temporal networks—a field that has grown tremendously over the last decade. This second edition of Temporal Network Theory extends the first with three chapters highlighting recent developments in the interface with machine learning.

Book Synopsis Models of Science Dynamics by : Andrea Scharnhorst
Download or read book Models of Science Dynamics written by Andrea Scharnhorst and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models of Science Dynamics aims to capture the structure and evolution of science, the emerging arena in which scholars, science and the communication of science become themselves the basic objects of research. In order to capture the essence of phenomena as diverse as the structure of co-authorship networks or the evolution of citation diffusion patterns, such models can be represented by conceptual models based on historical and ethnographic observations, mathematical descriptions of measurable phenomena, or computational algorithms. Despite its evident importance, the mathematical modeling of science still lacks a unifying framework and a comprehensive study of the topic. This volume fills this gap, reviewing and describing major threads in the mathematical modeling of science dynamics for a wider academic and professional audience. The model classes presented cover stochastic and statistical models, system-dynamics approaches, agent-based simulations, population-dynamics models, and complex-network models. The book comprises an introduction and a foundational chapter that defines and operationalizes terminology used in the study of science, as well as a review chapter that discusses the history of mathematical approaches to modeling science from an algorithmic-historiography perspective. It concludes with a survey of remaining challenges for future science models and their relevance for science and science policy.

Book Synopsis Analysis of Evolutionary Processes by : Fabio Dercole
Download or read book Analysis of Evolutionary Processes written by Fabio Dercole and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-11 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving populations. In Analysis of Evolutionary Processes, Fabio Dercole and Sergio Rinaldi have written the first comprehensive book on Adaptive Dynamics (AD), a quantitative modeling approach that explicitly links evolutionary changes to demographic ones. The book shows how the so-called AD canonical equation can answer questions of paramount interest in biology, engineering, and the social sciences, especially economics. After introducing the basics of evolutionary processes and classifying available modeling approaches, Dercole and Rinaldi give a detailed presentation of the derivation of the AD canonical equation, an ordinary differential equation that focuses on evolutionary processes driven by rare and small innovations. The authors then look at important features of evolutionary dynamics as viewed through the lens of AD. They present their discovery of the first chaotic evolutionary attractor, which calls into question the common view that coevolution produces exquisitely harmonious adaptations between species. And, opening up potential new lines of research by providing the first application of AD to economics, they show how AD can explain the emergence of technological variety. Analysis of Evolutionary Processes will interest anyone looking for a self-contained treatment of AD for self-study or teaching, including graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical biology, applied mathematics, and theoretical economics.
