Description

Robust Design : A Repertoire of Biological, Ecological, and Engineering Case Studies, Paperback by Jen, Erica (EDT), ISBN 0195165330, ISBN-13 9780195165333, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The contributors to this study of robustness as a complex systems design principle explore the features of phenomena that are responsible for robustness or fragility. The papers address the tension between stasis and response to change; opportunities for innovation; vulnerabilities to collapse; effects of interactions among different subsystems; and the role of adaptation and learning. The authors assess the extent to which knowledge about robustness can be used to gain a better understanding of biological, ecological and computational systems.
