The networking field has recently started to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data analytics combined with advances in networking (such as software-defined networks, network functions virtualization, and programmable data planes) in a bid to construct highly optimized self-driving and self-organizing networks. It is worth remembering that the modern Internet that interconnects millions of networks is a `complex adaptive social system, in which interventions not only cause effects but the effects have further knock-on effects (not all of which are desirable or anticipated). We believe that self-driving networks will likely raise new unanticipated challenges (particularly in the human-facing domains of ethics, privacy, and security). In this paper, we propose the use of insights and tools from the field of systems thinking---a rich discipline developing for more than half a century, which encompasses qualitative and quantitative nonlinear models of complex social systems---and highlight their relevance for studying the long-term effects of network architectural interventions, particularly for self-driving networks. We show that these tools complement existing simulation and modeling tools and provide new insights and capabilities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has considered the relevance of formal systems thinking tools for the analysis of self-driving networks.

The impact of online social media on societal events and institutions is profound; and with the rapid increases in user uptake, we are just starting to understand its ramifications. Social scientists and practitioners who model online discourse as a
proxy for real-world behavior, often curate large social media datasets. A lack of available tooling aimed at non-data science experts frequently leaves this data (and the insights it holds) underutilized. Here, we propose birdspotter -- a tool to analyze and label Twitter users --, and birdspotter.ml -- an exploratory visualizer for the computed metrics. birdspotter provides an end-to-end analysis pipeline, from the processing of pre-collected Twitter data, to general-purpose labeling of users, and estimating their social influence, within a few lines of code. The package features tutorials and detailed documentation. We also illustrate how to train birdspotter into a fully-fledged bot detector that achieves better than state-of-the-art performances without making any Twitter API online calls, and we showcase its usage in an exploratory analysis of a topical COVID-19 dataset.
In this work we consider the topological analysis of symbolic formal systems in the framework of network theory. In particular we analyse the network extracted by Principia Mathematica of B. Russell and A.N. Whitehead, where the vertices are the stat
ements and two statements are connected with a directed link if one statement is used to demonstrate the other one. We compare the obtained network with other directed acyclic graphs, such as a scientific citation network and a stochastic model. We also introduce a novel topological ordering for directed acyclic graphs and we discuss its properties in respect to the classical one. The main result is the observation that formal systems of knowledge topologically behave similarly to self-organised systems.
When studying the evolution of complex systems one refers to model representations comprising various descriptive parameters. There is hardly research where system evolution is described on the base of information flows in the system. The paper focus
es on the link between the dynamics of information and system evolution. Information, exchanged between different systems parts, before being processed is first provided with meaning by the system. Meanings are generated from the perspective of hindsight, i.e. against the arrow of time. The same information can be differently interpreted by different systems parts (i,e,provided with different meanings) so that the number of options for possible system development is proliferated. Some options eventually turn into observable system states. So that system evolutionary dynamics can be considered as due to information processing within the system. This process is considered here in a model representation. The model under study is Triple Helix (TH) model, which was earlier used to describe interactions between university, industry and government to foster innovations. In TH model the system is comprised of three interacting parts where each part process information ina different way. The model is not limited to the sphere of innovation and can be used in a broader perspective. Here TH is conceptualized in the framework of three compertment model used to describe infectious disease. The paper demonstrates how the dynamics of information and meaning can be incorporated in the description of Covid-19 infectious propagation. The results show correspondence of model predictions with observable infection dynamics.
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread around the globe in 2020, with the U.S. becoming the epicenter of COVID-19 cases since late March. As the U.S. begins to gradually resume economic activity, it is imperative for policymakers
and power system operators to take a scientific approach to understanding and predicting the impact on the electricity sector. Here, we release a first-of-its-kind cross-domain open-access data hub, integrating data from across all existing U.S. wholesale electricity markets with COVID-19 case, weather, cellular location, and satellite imaging data. Leveraging cross-domain insights from public health and mobility data, we uncover a significant reduction in electricity consumption across that is strongly correlated with the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, degree of social distancing, and level of commercial activity.
In an increasingly complex, mobile and interconnected world, we face growing threats of disasters, whether by chance or deliberately. Disruption of coordinated response and recovery efforts due to organizational, technical, procedural, random or deli
berate attack could result in the risk of massive loss of life. This requires urgent action to explore the development of optimal information-sharing environments for promoting collective disaster response and preparedness using multijurisdictional hierarchical networks. Innovative approaches to information flow modeling and analysis for dealing with challenges of coordinating across multi layered agency structures as well as development of early warnings through social systems using social media analytics may be pivotal to timely responses to dealing with large scale disasters where response strategies need to be viewed as a shared responsibility. How do facilitate the development of collective disaster response in a multijurisdictional setting? How do we develop and test the level and effectiveness of shared multijurisdictional hierarchical networks for improved preparedness and response? What is the role of multi layered training and exercises in building the shared learning space for collective disaster preparedness and response? The aim of this is therefore to determine factors that may be responsible for affecting disaster response.
