Kim joins the ranks of scores of entrepreneurs who started network-related companies, and sold out to the Big Four Cisco, Cabletron, 3Com and Bay Networks.
Left to start network switch outfit Granite Systems; sold it to Cisco in 1996 for $220 million in stock.
But remarkably, such strategies are the bread and butter of the organization's Sustainable Development Networking Programme SDNPP), a revolutionary effort to kick-start network development in the Third World.
The starting network architecture is obtained setting the number of input neurons according to the Takens' theorem, and then is imporved by slightly increasing the number of inputs.
Multivariate statistical analysis, specifically principle component analysis (PCA), was utilized in order to provide a direct link between the fingerprint behavior and the starting network structure.
To ensure convergence, ten parallel MCMC chains were run, each initialised with a starting network.
Finally, none of the steps was allowed to decrease the distance to the starting network, in order to maximize the distance from this network (see methods for details).
Another main area of development is the integration of data-driven reverse engineering tools to find links missing in the starting network [ 15].
The topological features of the optimized networks are then compared to the real protein contact networks and they show an increased similarity with respect to the starting networks.
"It started a network at a time when there was a wall," she said.
