Complex Systems Engineering
This course represents an introduction to complex systems and the methods and tools currently under consideration and use towards better understanding of such systems and the development of a complex engineered systems theory. Topics include concepts such as emergence, self-organization, learning and adaptation, and various quantitative and computational intelligence techniques and algorithms that are considered for modeling, analysis and evaluation of such complex systems. System-of-systems concept will be also presented. Students will be able to work on a small project in which they have to design and implement a small part of a complex system.
