Designing Networks that are Capable of Self-Healing and Adapting

Abstract : Using tools from statistical mechanics, combinatorics, boolean networks, and numerical simulations, and inspired by designprinciples from biological networks, we will undertake the following objectives: Quantify the effects of local damage and developstrategies for absorbing it, develop topological design principles for self-healing networks, and applications, and construct anall-possible-paths model for network adaptation.
