Resilience and Dynamic Risk Analysis

The course will be given every second year, next time is autumn 2027. The course is a response to the two trends in the fields of RAMS: 1) systems are becoming more complex with combining hardware, software and communications, and 2) the time slots for decision-making are shorter. A system unaffected or little affected by hazardous events is wanted, and thus it is necessary to understand how the system proactively ensures that things are under control and reacts when things are out of control. For this reason, we need to analyze system risks in a dynamic way, and make the system resilient. The main themes of this course include the methods and techniques for system prognosis and health management, assessment of system responsiveness and adaptability, analysis of networked systems and cyber-physical systems, interdependency analysis,

Knowledge:

The students will get a thorough insight into the research status of system resilience engineering and dynamic risk analysis. The students should also recognize the state-of-art research activities in the fields, and identify relevant research opportunities around their own topics.

Skills:

The students shall be able to utilize models, methods and tools introduced and shared in this course into their own researches.

General competence:

The students shall be able to understand how system resilience is achieved and how dynamic risk analysis is conducted. The students should also learn how to write a draft for a scientific paper to an international conference or journal.

The course is conducted as a series of 1-day seminars. The first one is lectured primarily by the course responsible and invited lecturers., while the other seminars include topics that are presented by the participants.
