Rivers and Electric Networks: Crossing Disciplines in Modeling and Simulation
Electric circuits and river networks share similarities in both their network structure and derivation from conservation principals. However, the disciplines have evolved separately and developed methods and models. This paper presents the foundations for network analysis for both disciplines and shows how numerical methods developed for circuit simulations can significantly improve river netwo...
متن کاملCrossing scales, crossing disciplines: collective motion and collective action in the Global Commons†
Two conflicting tendencies can be seen throughout the biological world: individuality and collective behaviour. Natural selection operates on differences among individuals, rewarding those who perform better.

The goal of scheduling is to reduce mean delay for free! By simply serving jobs in the “right order,” we can often reduce mean delay by an order of magnitude, without requiring the purchase of additional resources. How can this be? What is the “right order” in which jobs should be scheduled? The answer depends on parameters of the system being scheduled, like load and the job size distribution....
