Title of talk : Complex Networks

Abstract

This talk will overview complex network goals that address issues in quantifying and managing the performance of heterogeneous dynamic networks. Information topological methods along with the models and dynamics are presented. The talk also covers Estimation and Ergodic theory in networks to reduce point to point overhead of protocols (IP) by only retransmitting information that can not be estimated from geometric information properties. The theory and design of network protocols policy and management is outlined along with a few example challenges and Air Force network roles.
