Dynamics of Complex Interconnected Systems: Networks and Bioprocesses / Edition 1

by Arne T. Skjeltorp, Alexander V. Belushkin

Overview

This book reviews the synergism between various fields of research that are confronted with networks, such as genetic and metabolic networks, social networks, the Internet and ecological systems. In many cases, the interacting networks manifest so-called emergent properties that are not possessed by any of the individual components. Knowledge gained from the study of complex non-biological systems can be applied to the intricate braided relationships that govern cellular functions.
