Abstract :
The complexity of natural systems has challenged ecologists for decades. Community models, developed by ecologists to capture the dynamic behavior of complex biological systems, may provide a basis for models of computer networks as well. When considered within the framework of disease control, these models may provide insight into methods for preserving network health. We explore the formulation of these models for information assurance
