Modeling Computer Networks from Chips to the Internet

Explore the complexities of computer networks in this lecture by Stephanie Forrest from the Santa Fe Institute. Delve into modeling strategies that characterize and predict the Internet's state, from chip-level communication to global network dynamics. Examine biological concepts adapted for on-chip communication and simulations that intersect social, economic, and political forces shaping the Internet's future. Learn about power density, scaling laws, wire scaling problems, and the biology of chips. Investigate interventions in Internet infrastructure, autonomous systems, population dynamics, and economic factors. Gain insights into wicked problems, model calibration, egress modeling, blacklisting, and spam mitigation techniques.
