Introduction

Issues:

Complex node topology-(Nonlinear) Dynamics at nodes-Extremely large number of degrees of freedom-Uncertainty in parameters describing dynamics-Stochastic effects-Mixture of discrete and continuous dynamicsThis talk:-Coupled oscillator models with switching dynamics-An operator theoretic framework.-Geometric concepts; visualization of invariant sets.-Elements of graph theoretic analysis.-A systems biology model.-BUT OF COURSE, turbulence!
