Opis

Workshop on self-star properties in complex systems was held in summer 2004 in Bertinoro, Italy. The workshop aimed to identify the conceptual and practical foundations for modeling, analyzing, and achieving self-star properties in distributed and networked systems. This book contains papers based on the discussions at the workshop.
