Architecture and Robust Networks

Abstract

The aim of this research is the development of a unified theory of complex networks involving four essential aspects: the hard limits on what is achievable (constraints, misnamed "laws"), the organizing principles that succeed or fail in achieving them (architectures and protocols), the resulting high variability data and "robust yet fragile" behavior observed in real systems (behavior, data), and the processes by which systems evolve (variation, selection, design).
