Adding one and one makes two, usually. But sometimes things add up
to more than the sum of their parts. This observation, now
frequently expressed in the maxim "more is different", is one of
the characteristic features of complex systems and, in particular,
complex networks. Along with their ubiquity in real world systems,
the ability of networks to exhibit emergent dynamics, once they
reach a certain size, has rendered them highly attractive targets
for research. The resulting network hype has made the word
"network" one of the most in uential buzzwords seen in almost every
corner of science, from physics and biology to economy and social
sciences. The theme of "more is different" appears in a different
way in the present v- ume, from the viewpoint of what we call
"adaptive networks." Adaptive networks uniquely combine dynamics on
a network with dynamical adaptive changes of the underlying network
topology, and thus they link classes of mechanisms that were
previously studied in isolation. Here adding one and one certainly
does not make two, but gives rise to a number of new phenomena,
including highly robust se- organization of topology and dynamics
and other remarkably rich dynamical beh- iors.
