Project description

Many biological systems can be represented as complex networks. In contrast to established approaches that analyze these networks on the basis of their structural properties, they can also be studied by investigating the patterns that are evolved by a discrete dynamical system built upon these networks. The aim of this proposal is to develop dedicated methods for achieving this.
