Long Title: RELIABILITY OF COMPLEX URBAN SYSTEMS

Department: Civil & Environmental Engr

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture/Laboratory

Credit Hours: 3

Description: To introduce concepts of graph theory and optimization for characterizing complex networked systems; to study probabilistic tools for predicting network failure modes given natural hazards or attacks; and to quantify the effects of network interdependencies and mitigation actions. Complex systems apply to the structure and dynamics of civil, mechanical, electrical and bioengineering networks. The graduate level course includes advanced exercises in homework and exams as well as a research-oriented final project. Repeatable for Credit.
