Beyond Internet MRA: Networks of Networks

Month: November 2008

Date: November 3--7

Name: Beyond Internet MRA: Networks of Networks

Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA Los Angeles, California.

Overview

This workshop will bring together domain experts from the fields of engineering, biology, mathematics, and critical infrastructure protection to develop the foundation of a nascent theory in support of the networks of networks concept. In particular, we will use the Internet as a case study to illustrate how early verbal observations and arguments with deep engineering insight have led via an interplay with mathematics and measurements to increasingly formal statements and powerful theoretical developments.

Organizing Committee

Walter Willinger (chair), David Alderson, John Doyle, Ramesh Govindan, Craig Partridge.
