NCRG, 

Rana and I have started a draft on using entropy metrics to measure complexity, see below. We'll discuss the idea at the upcoming meeting in Vancouver.

We'll also discuss the framework draft, which I didn't manage to do before the ID cut-off time, but will post here directly. 

Any other suggestions for presentations? 

Michael

> Abstract:
>    For the evaluation of network designs it is desirable to express
>    their complexity in objective, measurable metrics.  Previous work has
>    shown that a large number of distinct, partly dependent scales play a
>    role in overall complexity.  This document proposes the use of multi-
>    scale entropy metrics to describe the complexity of a network.  We
>    observe that the complexity of a network which undergoes no changes
>    over a longer time period is constant.  Conversely, when a network
>    undergoes changes entropy is increasing; this is independent on
>    whether the changes make the network more or less complex.  In other
>    words, also a simplification effort increases complexity temporarily.
