Bringing networks to life

Douglas R. White & Laurent Tambayong, IMBS, UCI Progenerative network analysis: causal and evolutionary analysis ("Bringing networks to life") A joint project with Andrej Mrvar
Abstract: Living beings have phylogenetic and genealogical networks and exist in the context of multi-level emergent entities such as ecosystems, social and kinship networks, and geographic distributions. Modeled with multi-level graphical and formal network analysis, explanatory and causal models are evaluated in ways that include the mutual causality of cohesive communities, resources, inheritance, and migration. Clickable multi-level SVG graphs, Pajek, R, ArcGIS and other analytical systems are brought into a new systems-modeling configuration for trial analysis of sustainability in evolutionary and ecological processes. tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/cqu697
