	Networks, Complexity, and Relatedness
		Inquiry and learning into social networks, organizational network analysis, and the relationships among people and systems in complex organizations and networks.
		This paper describes the transformation in network patterns as networks emerge and are guided toward connectivity.
		Dave Snowden, picking up on a question posed on an email list about whether all networks were communities blogged a set of assertions about networks and complexity.

	Introduction to Neural Networks and Computational Complexity
		One may count the number of nodes, which is known as node complexity, one may count the number of gates necessary to produce the network as an electric circuit, or one can adopt the VLSI approach and measure the sum total of wire necessary to produce such a network.
		Network depth has already been discussed in the context of hidden layers; it remains to be added that any depth layer must have a sufficient number of nodes.
		Neural networks are only one exemplar in a class of functions, which I suspect at their core perform statistical approximation of dynamic functions (previously I held the suspicion that these performed statistical constraint satisfaction, based on vision and aural perception, but I think this new formulation is more accurate).

	Neural Networks — UMPERG
		Networks designed for rule learning are generally (but not necessarily) arranged in a layered, "feed-forward" architecture, in which information propagates in one direction through the network.
		This type of network has no nontrivial dynamics at all, and research is almost exclusively concerned with developing and characterizing algorithms for setting the connection strengths by "training" a network on a set of representative input/output mappings [6, 19-22].
		The network's dynamics is less trivial than that of simple rule-learning input-output networks because the system's location in state space evolves dynamically, traveling from the initial state to a stable fixed-point attractor at the bottom of the appropriate basin of attraction.

	Network complexity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Network complexity is the number of nodes and alternative paths that exist within a computer network, as well as the variety of communication media, communications equipment, protocols, and hardware and software platforms found in the network.
		Simple network: A small LAN with no alternative paths, a single communication protocol, and identical hardware and software platforms across nodes would be classified as a simple network.
		Complex network: an enterprise-wide network that uses multiple communication media and communication protocols to interconnect geographically distributed networks with dissimilar hardware and software platforms would be classified as a complex network.

	The Importance of Network Inventory Management
		However, network inventory management is often missing because of network complexity and a lack of integration time.
		Network complexity continues to grow as enterprises add and remove different communication technologies and multiple types of vendor equipment in response to rapidly changing e-business requirements.
		Inventory network management systems are also required in service provider environments to facilitate the timely identification of network assets and customers impacted by a failure or service disruption.

	Manufacturing complexity network
		The EPSRC Manufacturing Network was established in 1998 to provide a forum for exploring and confirming the industrial benefits that come from understanding and modelling the complexities that exist in manufacturing organisations.
		The intention was that such a network would spawn working research partnerships between academia and industry and allow for the identification of future research requirements.
		The participants were keen to meet again and another conference:"Tackling industrial complexity: the ideas that make a difference" was run in Cambridge in April 2002.

	Proposal for the Creation of a Network for Complexity Research
		The term which was chosen to label the domain is complexity, denoting a concept which is essential as well in the cognitive as in the systems sciences, and which is used here in a qualitative and dynamical sense.
		Moreover, the formulation of "complexity research" as a distinct domain may make it easier to insert related approaches, such as AI, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, cognitive psychology,..., which are separate from the "systems" movement in the restricted sense.
		Whether the proposed network is practically realizable or not, I hope that the present text will function as a basis for fruitful discussions, which may lead to a better formulation of an as yet ill-defined approach.

	The Industrial Ethernet Book - Articles: Scaleability: the future-proof key to manufacturing network design
		The production control network must be part of a solution which can run new applications over time: such tools will allow manufacturers to achieve new levels of productivity and better serve their customers - and ultimately remain competitive in a challenging environment.
		Network virtualisation: The common network and associated resources can be partitioned into many logical segments, increasing security, utilisation, and flexibility.
		If a manufacturer can develop a long-term roadmap for future network requirements both business and technical (such as voice or video, new locations, new devices, etc.) the initial phases of prepare, plan, and design are simplified, and the impact on the network is significantly reduced resulting in quicker, more efficient deployment.

	IBM Networking \| ATM Positioning in the LAN Environment --Networking Migration and Direction
		Therefore the network is not burdened with the management of data that is en route, thus allowing efficient operation that is simpler, with predictable destination arrival times.
		In networks of LAN switches, filters can be used in the switches to control broadcast traffic, but they have an adverse effect on the overall performance of the network.
		In networks where ATM is employed end-to-end, the transit time between any two points on the network will always be the same, so the response time in a large network will be predictable and constant.

		In the beginning, it was enough to include a switch with the router, but as network complexity and integrated circuit density have increased, more functions have been added to the mix.
		If your network complexity is low, you'll be able to get by with a relatively simple set of firewall rules.
		A busy network's IDS log can easily hit multiple gigabytes each day, so be sure you have backup procedures to safeguard the logs, or a location to which the logs can be saved, so they can be used in forensic work or to help analyze exploits after they've occurred.

	Firewalls charred by network complexity
		Firewalls have changed roles many times since their inception because of a number of factors: ease of manageability, growing concerns about connectivity with the Internet, and now the threats that arise from application-layer security breaches, said Fred Cohen, a principal analyst with the Midvale, Utah-based research firm sponsoring the event.
		In the past, firewalls filled roles as device-level filters and were used to centralize the movement of traffic in and out of the network.
		He said that it is easier to apply multiple policies to a packet once it is broken open rather than to repeat that process multiple times with many boxes.

		The result is an unprecedented network cacophony with implications for medium and large enterprises embarking on Web-enablement projects.
		The result is that enterprises end up throwing more server and network hardware at problems, and crowding the area between the firewall and the application servers with point products that do not remedy the situation.
		Most overbuilt their data center and network capacity to respond to the new challenges of Web applications, and subsequently found themselves overspent with overtaxed networks.

		The next chapter on critical theory is even more challenging, and definitely the point where an eager reader seeking to learn about chaos, complexity, and networking theory is going to wonder what the hell is wrong with this book.
		Perhaps if such a reader went back to the introduction, he would gratefully realize that these first two difficult chapters are not necessary to or a prerequisite for the next several chapters which go into, depth and detail, the fascinating theories he's seeking.
		It isn't about complexity, in spite of its title -- it's an instance of 'Critical Theory.' I'm not a big fan of "Critical Theory," and this book won't make me one (it this is good critical theory, I'll have none of it, thanks).
