pacome delva on 15 Jan 10I like this work... it mixes physics, networks and biology ! Anyone heard about her ? Here's an interesting paper found on this website: http://nuweb.neu.edu/gbianconi/condensation.pdf

Francesco Biscani on 15 Jan 10Eh... Barabasi is really milking the golden cow :) It seems interesting, even if I don't remember enough from my statistical mechanics classes to truly understand it without a major effort. Maybe you could make a layman's science coffee about it?

pacome delva on 15 Jan 10yeah i could if there's enough interest...? do u know Barabasi ?

Francesco Biscani on 15 Jan 10He's quite well known for his work on scale-free networks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert-L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Barab%C3%A1si He's applying them for everything and the kitchen sink :) We have a Barabasi-Albert network topology implemented in PaGMO...

Dario Izzo on 16 Jan 10We worked on this with Luzi a few years back ... while the analogy is original and interesting it fails to capture the dynamics of a network, e.g. if a network has hubs that grow and shrink .... Luzi worked on an extended model to solve this issue, but, if I remember correctly, he got stuck in a computationally very hard problem .... We intended to develop and use the extended model to define relevant characteristic of the ESA network formed by mail exchanges.....
