The 'robustness' of a phenotypic trait is the absence or low level of variation when faced with a given incoming variation. Analysis of the propagation of variation in a biological system has been ...

Here we first define robustness and review experimental ways to detect it. We then discuss the proximate mechanisms underlying robustness. Finally, we discuss evolutionary causes and consequences of ...

Abstract: Embedded software is at the core of current and future telecommunication, automotive, multimedia, and industrial automation systems. The success of practically any industrial application ...

to calculate the vector's element for parameter p j. The overall state sensitivities are normalized with respect to the number of states, the parameters, and the states to allow for model comparison.

Organisms are subject to various sources of variations. A major question in biology is to dissect the mechanisms that allow them to cope with these sources of variation or to exploit them.

The robustness of interdependent networks is a frontier topic in current network science. A line of studies has so far been investigated in the perspective of correlated structures on robustness, such ...

The authors define robustness, instroduce a few approaches to designing a robustness study, and discuss data analysis necessary to help ensure successful method implementation and transfer as a part ...

Abstract: Topology robustness is critical to the connectivity and lifetime of large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. To improve robustness while reducing the execution cost, the existing ...
