Control and Pricing in Communication and Power Networks

March 07, 2004

Probability and Statistics in Complex Systems: Genomics, Networks, and Financial Engineering

Content

Overview

Organizers:

Christopher DeMarco	University of Wisconsin, Madison
Thomas Kurtz	University of Wisconsin, Madison
Ruth Williams	University of California, San Diego

The tutorial will introduce some of the main issues in the design and operation of communication and power networks and will provide background helpful in understanding the material to be presented during the Workshop. While the connectivity of power and communications networks may be similar, the physics of these networks is very different. The tutorial and the following workshop should provide a better understanding of both the similarities and the differences in these systems.
