However, most RBN studies have been made with random topologies, while real regulatory networks have been found to be modular. In this work, we extend classical RBNs to define modular RBNs. Statistical experiments and analytical results show that modularity has a strong effect on the properties of RBNs. In particular, modular RBNs have more attractors and are closer to criticality when chaotic dynamics would be expected, compared to classical RBNs.}, doi = {10.1162/artl_a_00042}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.1893}, author = {Rodrigo {Poblanno-Balp} and Carlos Gershenson} } @inbook {BalpoGershenson:2010, title = {Modular Random {Boolean} Networks}, booktitle = {{Artificial Life XII} Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems}, year = {2010}, pages = {303-304}, publisher = {MIT Press}, organization = {MIT Press}, address = {Odense, Denmark}, url = {http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/chapters/0262290758chap56.pdf}, author = {Rodrigo {Poblanno-Balp} and Carlos Gershenson}, editor = {Harold Fellermann and Mark D{\"o}rr and Martin M.
