Robust Design Summary

Robust Design: A Repertoire of Biological, Ecological, and Engineering Case Studies by Erica Jen (Santa Fe Institute)

Robust Design brings together 16 chapters by an eminent group of authors in a wide range of fields presenting aspects of robustness in biological, ecological, and computational systems. The volume is the first to address robustness in biological, ecological, and computational systems. It is an outgrowth of a new research program on robustness at the Sante Fe Institute founded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. For those interested in complexity or interdisciplinary science, robustness is seen as currently among the most intellectually active and promising research areas with important applications in all fields of science, business, and economics.

Robust Design Reviews

A wide community of scientists and engineers, who increasingly rely on interdisciplinary efforts to tack their research problems, will appreciate the systems-level perspective their book provides. The authors make a nice attempt to present a comprehensive picture of a systems-level property with wide-reaching implications.-- Quarterly Review of Biology
