Robust Design - A Repertoire of Biological, Ecological, and Engineering Case Studies

Klappentext Robust Design brings together 16 chapters by an eminent group of authors in a wide range of fields presenting aspects of robustness in biological! ecological! and computational systems. The volme is the first to address robustness in biological! ecological! and computational systems. It is an outgrowth of a new research program on robustness at the Sante Fe Institute founded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. For those interested in complexity or interdisciplinary science! robustness is seen as currently among the most intellectually active and promising research areas with important applications in all fields of science! business! and economics. Zusammenfassung Brings together 16 chapters by an eminent group of authors in a range of fields presenting aspects of robustness in biological, ecological, and computational systems.
