Information Dynamics in the Networked World
We review three studies of information flow in social networks that help reveal their underlying social structure, how information spreads among them...
-
Clustering in Complex Networks
Real, mostly socially rooted networks have the tendency to form the simplest morphological structures observable: triangles, or in other words...
-
Boolean Modelingof Genetic Regulatory Networks
Biological systems form complex networks of interaction on several scales, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. On the subcellular...

Distributed Evidence Filtering in Networked Embedded Systems
Networked embedded sensor systems use the evidence gathered by spatially distributed heterogeneous sensor nodes possessing partial and different...
-
Distributed Control over Failing Channels
We give sufficient convex conditions for the existence of a distributed controller, with the same interconnection structure as the plant, when the...
