Title : Morphogenesis of complex networks - Application to the urban fabric
PhD advisor : D. Olivier
PhD Co-advisors : S. Balev, A. Dutot and J. Jimenez
Research lab : LITIS - Le Havre, France
*Keywords* : complex system, self-organisation, morphogenesis, complex
networks, reaction-diffusion model, cellular automata
*Job description*
We are hiring a PhD student with interests in complex systems,
self-organisation, morphogenesis of graphs, complex networks and cellular
automata. The PhD candidate will integrate the team RI2C at LITIS lab in
Le Havre, France. In particular, we want to model the process of
creation and evolution of the shape and structure of the street networks
of the urban fabric. This subject is a continuation of a first thesis
on the morphogenesis of road networks directed by a set of forces
defined by a process of reaction-diffusion, based on an irregular
automaton. In this work a temporally coherent and
environment-constrained network generation model is proposed. We want to
study the
feedback and feedforward between the network and its environment and to
define metrics to characterize and compare existing and
generated networks. The model representing complex networks that we use
are spatial temporal graphs where nodes are arranged in a
Euclidean space of dimension 2 or 3. In these graphs the temporal
dimension is added in order to capture the dynamic aspects and the
impact on and from the environment.
