These benefits accrue in the generation, transmission and distribution components of the power grid as well as in the customer sector. The total potential benefit of implementing these technologies over the next 20 years is conservatively estimated have a present value (PV) of about $75 billion. When estimated on the basis of a less conservative implementation scenario, the PV of these benefits is shown to essentially double.","PeriodicalId":139082,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122254191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then we discuss a particular dynamical system on a fixed but arbitrary graph, that describes the population dynamics of species whose interactions are determined by the graph. The attractors of this dynamical system are described as a function of graph topology. Finally we consider a dynamical system in which the graph of interactions of the species coevolves with the populations of the species. We show that this system exhibits complex dynamics including self-organization of the network by autocatalytic sets, growth of complexity and structure, and collapse of the network followed by recoveries. We argue that a graph theoretic classification of perturbations of the network is helpful in predicting the future impact of a perturbation over short and medium time scales.","PeriodicalId":139082,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ecolab, whilst not an artificial life system, is a model of an evolving ecology that has advantages of mathematical tractability and computational simplicity. The Bedau statistics are well defined for Ecolab, and this paper reports statistics measured for typical Ecolab runs, as a function of mutation rate. The behaviour ranges from class 1 (when mutation is switched off), through class 3 at intermediate mutation rates (corresponding to scale free dynamics) to class 2 at high mutation rates. The class 3/class 2 transition corresponds to an error threshold. Class 4 behaviour, which is typified by the Biosphere, is characterised by unbounded growth in diversity. It turns out that Ecolab is governed by an inverse relationship between diversity and connectivity, which also seems likely of the Biosphere. In Ecolab, the mutation operator is conservative with respect to connectivity, which explains the boundedness of diversity. The only way to get class 4 behaviour in Ecolab is to develop an evolutionary dynamics that reduces connectivity of time.","PeriodicalId":139082,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems","volume":"30 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133615608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
