“…Internet2 data archives include logs of routing changes in the network issued by its communications protocol, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) the same protocol used by routers on the Internet [34]. Under BGP, each node sends updates to its neighbors about which routes are most efficient for transmitting data.…”

Abstract. Complex systems experience dramatic changes in behavior and can undergo transitions from functional to dysfunctional states. An unstable system is prone to dysfunctional collective cascades that result from self-reinforcing behaviors within the system. Because many human and technological civilian and military systems today are complex systems, understanding their susceptibility to collective failure is a critical problem. Understanding vulnerability in complex systems requires an approach that characterizes the coupled behaviors at multiple scales of cascading failures. We used neuromorphic methods, which are modeled on the pattern-recognition circuitry of the brain and can find patterns in high-dimensional data at multiple scales, to develop a procedure for identifying the vulnerabilities of complex systems. This procedure was tested on microdynamic Internet2 network data. The result was a generic pipeline for identifying extreme events in high dimensional datasets.

“…Whether those attractors are by design or a byproduct of complexity is not important. Other tools such as graph theory include the ability to assess robustness of the network, or potentially sensitive nodes, using toplogy analysis [50][51][52]. Furthermore, modeling as a graph allows for a topological analysis of the attractors and a qualitative assessment of their stability amongst other mathematical analysis [53,54].…”

The article presents the use of signal regulatory networks (SRNs), a biologically inspired model based on gene regulatory networks. SRNs are a way of understanding a class of self-organizing IT systems, signal-regulated systems (SRSs). This article builds on the theory of SRSs and introduces some formalisms to clarify the discussion. An exemplar SRS that can be evaluated using SRNs is presented. Finally, an implementation of an adaptive and robust solution, built on a theory of SRSs and analyzed as a SRN, is shown to be plausible.

Abstract. In order to analyze the validity and scientificity of the traffic rules, we design an intelligent traffic rules analysis system. According to the complexity of traffic flow, we adopt a revised cellular automation to establish corresponding simulation model, in which each vehicle is regarded as a cellular. As the position and speed of each vehicle in the traffic flow are all continual, we alter the conventional cellar space and adjacent zone. We propose and quantify the indexes, including traffic volume, safety and level of service (LOS) of the road to evaluate the performance of traffic rules, and the rationality of road speed limits is analyzed. The results of simulation show that safety and traffic volume are contradicted. Hereafter, we propose two methods to balance the two indexes and provide recommendations for the traffic administrative branches. Meanwhile, the simulation results show the weakness of low road occupancy in light traffic. In terms of the weakness, we propose a new rule, under which vehicles with different speeds travel on different lanes and the speed limits for different lanes are different. Simulation results show that only in light traffic this rule is efficient.
