The emergence of Context-aware systems in the domains of autonomic, monitoring, and safety-critical applications asks for the definition of methods to formally assess their correctness and dependability properties. Many of these properties…
Random Boolean networks have been used widely to explore aspects of gene regulatory networks. A modified form of the model through which to systematically explore the effects of increasing the number of gene states has previously been…
Abstract Contextuality is a property of systems of random variables. The identity of a random variable in a system is determined by its joint distribution with all other random variables in the same context. When context changes, a variable…
Beginning with the Bell theorem, cyclic systems of dichotomous random variables have been the object of many foundational findings in quantum mechanics. Here, we ask the question: if one chooses a cyclic system "at random" (uniformly within…
An analytical approach to network dynamics is used to show that when agents copy their state randomly the network arrives to a stationary status in which the distribution of states is independent of the agents degree. The effects of network…
Correlations and other collective phenomena in a schematic model of heterogeneous binary agents (individual spin-glass samples) are considered on the complete graph and also on 2d and 3d regular lattices. The system's stochastic dynamics is…
It is an increasingly important problem to study conditions on the structure of a network that guarantee a given behavior for its underlying dynamical system. In this paper we report that a Boolean network may fall within the chaotic…
Assessing the systemic effects of uncertainty that arises from agents' partial observation of the true states of the world is critical for understanding a wide range of scenarios. Yet, previous modeling work on agent learning and…
This work develops the concept of temporal network epistemology model enabling the simulation of the learning process in dynamic networks. The results of the research, conducted on the temporal social network generated using the CogSNet…
This paper focuses on the convergence of infor- mation in distributed systems of agents communicating over a network. The information on which the convergence is sought is not represented by real numbers, rather by sets of real numbers,…
The paper outlines a new development in the Contextuality-by-Default theory as applied to finite systems of binary random variables. The logic and principles of the original theory remain unchanged, but the definition of contextuality of a…
Boolean networks, first developed in the late 1960s as a tool for studying complex disordered dynamical systems, consist of nodes governed by Boolean functions whose evolution is entirely deterministic in that the state of the network at a…
We study the dynamics of discrete-time regulatory networks on random digraphs. For this we define ensembles of deterministic orbits of random regulatory networks, and introduce some statistical indicators related to the long-term dynamics…
Random walks serve as important tools for studying complex network structures, yet their dynamics in cases where transition probabilities are not static remain under explored and poorly understood. Here we study nonlinear random walks that…
It is often desirable to assess how well a given dataset is described by a given model. In network science, for instance, one often wants to say that a given real-world network appears to come from a particular network model. In statistical…
Autonomous robots operating in complex, unstructured environments face significant challenges due to latent, unobserved factors that obscure their understanding of both their internal state and the external world. Addressing this challenge…
We present new applications of parity inversion and time-reversal to the emergence of complex behavior from simple dynamical rules in stochastic discrete models. Our parity-based encoding of causal relationships and time-reversal…
Attractors of dynamical systems may be networks in phase space that can be heteroclinic (where there are dynamical connections between simple invariant sets) or excitable (where a perturbation threshold needs to be crossed to a dynamical…
Feature selection is a crucial tool in machine learning and is widely applied across various scientific disciplines. Traditional supervised methods generally identify a universal set of informative features for the entire population.…
The goal of this tutorial is to promote interest in the study of random Boolean networks (RBNs). These can be very interesting models, since one does not have to assume any functionality or particular connectivity of the networks to study…
