8 Oops!Oops! January 15, 1990: AT&T’s long-distance network –65 million calls, 9 hours –an upgrade to improve switch reliability August 10, 1996: electrical grid –25 GW, 190 plants, 7.5 million customers, 9 states –tree, automatic load-shedding April 23, 1997: Internet –40% Net “black-hole” –erroneous routing table pointing to 1 ISP Emergent failures:

9 Demonstrations of emergent engineering (don’t scale!) Deep thinking about emergent engineering (don’t work!) rigor + relevance?
