It involves pruning the network down separate, in a unique (no parameters) way, the Internet into three to those nodes with more than k neighbors, just as has been subcomponents: (i) a nucleus that is a small (Ϸ100 nodes), very well studied in physics under the rubric of ‘‘bootstrap percolation,’’ connected globally distributed subgraph; (ii) a fractal subcompo- in the very different environment of regular lattices (14). Other nent that is able to connect the bulk of the Internet without studies (15–18),¶ have developed the theory of some of the congesting the nucleus, with self-similar properties and critical statistical properties of k-shells in random networks.

  • University of Chicago—Tel Aviv University Workshop on Cities And
    University of Chicago—Tel Aviv University Workshop on Cities and Urbanism City Center—Research Center for Cities and Urbanism, Tel Aviv University April 7-9 2019 The 21st century started as the age of cities: for the first time in human history more than half of world population lives in cities and the process is still on. The implication is that every aspect of human life is becoming associated with urban life and the dynamic of cities. Understanding cities is thus a key to the understanding of society at large. The Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation at the University of Chicago aims to face this challenging reality by bringing together “researchers … from the social, natural, and computational sciences, along with the humanities.” In a similar way the City Center—TAU Research Center for Cities and Urbanism attempts to face the age of cities by bringing “… together the many TAU researchers – faculty members, graduate and postgraduate researchers – who study various aspects of cities and urbanism.” A link between the many facets of cities, as well as between urban realities in different parts of the world thus seems to be essential at this stage. This is indeed the motivation behind the “The University of Chicago—Tel Aviv University Workshop on Cities and Urbanism”: to explore the potential of, and lay the foundations for, research collaboration between urban researchers at the two universities. We consider this workshop as a first step toward such an exploration and collaboration. We focus on five major aspects of current urbanism:

  • Abstract Submitted for the MAR06 Meeting of the American Physical Society
    Abstract Submitted for the MAR06 Meeting of The American Physical Society DIMES { New Results from Wide-area Internet Topology Map- ping SHLOMO HAVLIN, SHAI CARMI, The Physics Department, Bar-Ilan Univer- sity, Israel, ERAN SHIR, YUVAL SHAVITT, Department of Electrical Engineer- ing, Tel Aviv University, Israel, SCOTT KIRKPARTRICK, School of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel | DIMES is a distributed agent-based Internet mapping effort which at present has attracted thousands of volunteers running clients world-wide. Despite the \law of diminishing returns" seen when when adding agents in past mapping attempts, we find that significant amounts of new information can be found in the long tails of our mea- surement process. We use the k-pruning method to decompose the network into nodes with distinct roles. The analysis suggests a new picture of the AS-level Inter- net structure, which distinguishes a relatively large, redundantly connected core of nearly 100 ASes and two components that flow data in and out from this core. One component is fractally interconnected through peer links; the second makes direct connections to the core only. We plan to use this picture as a framework for mea- suring and extrapolating changes in the Internet's physical structure. Our analysis may also be relevant for estimating the function of nodes in the \scale free" graphs extracted from other naturally-occurring processes.

    Bulletin of The ISRAEL PHYSICAL SOCIETY cbd IPS2010 הכנס ה56- של האגודה הישראלית לפיזיקה The 56th meeting of the Israel Physical Society כ"ח בכסלו תשע"א נר רביעי של חנוכה 5.12.2010 Volume 56, 2010 Welcome to IPS2010 Welcome to IPS2010 – The 56th Annual Meeting of the Israel Physical Society. We have an exciting and packed program lined up for today’s meeting, with over 200 contributions, covering a wide range of topics in physics and its related disciplines. The format of the IPS Meetings has evolved in recent years under the guidance of the IPS Council. It began with the introduction of Review Lectures at IPS2006 (HUJI), and short parallel talks at IPS2007 (WIS), leading to the present format, introduced at IPS2009 (BIU) and expanded here. We open and close the meeting with Plenary Sessions, which will be held at Bar-Shira Auditorium. The opening plenary lecture will be given by M. Zahid Hasan, from Princeton University, who will talk about topological insulators and superconductors. The closing plenary lecture will be given by Douglas D. Osheroff, from Stanford University. He will tell us the story of his discovery of superfluidity in 3He, while still a graduate student at Cornell, for which he shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics. Note that Prof. Osheroff will be giving a second talk at Tel Aviv University, on Tuesday 7/12/2010 at 17:00, in Lev Auditorium, on the nuclear spin ordered phases of solid 3He. All other activities will take place in the buildings of the Faculty of Exact Sciences.
