TONIGHT: Complex Systems: ‘Network Scaling, The growth and behavior of organisms and societies,’ Oct. 13

Fine Arts Building, Room 150
Scaling properties of networks that deliver energy and information within industrial societies can affect the behavior of people living in those societies. Scaling theory offers the perspective that human life spans, reproductive choices, and economic structures may be constrained by the way that energy flows through networks in modern societies.
Melanie Moses is an assistant professor in the Department of computer science at the University
of New Mexico with a joint appointment to the Department of Biology. She concentrates
on scaling properties of biological social and information networks, and the general
rules governing the acquisition and efficiency of energy and information exchanges
in complex adaptive systems.
