Osaamistavoitteet

Students will be introduced to a wide range of examples, models and concepts in complex systems. Students will become familiar with the mathematical tools and methods that are used to model complex systems. Also, the student will practice implementing models with Matlab. After the course, the student will be able to: 1) Organize complex systems in classes, identify their dynamical properties, and write appropriate models of these systems that reproduce their behavior. 2) Classify and explain the behavior of complex systems from an Information Theoretical point of view. 3) Implement models of complex systems, apply them to real-world problems, and calculate optimal solutions. 4) Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a model in a given context. Analyze the results of simulations of the models. 5) Compare and appraise different computational models, and interpret conclusions using different models when confronted to real-world problems. 6) Create and develop models of competing agents, epidemics, and global resource management.

Lisätiedot

Complexity arises in situations where the system parts (or agents) interact with each other in a complicated "emergent" fashion. Complex Systems is a highly multidisciplinary research topic that aims to understand complex behaviour and solve practical problems that arise in numerous different situations. This course introduces mathematical tools and concepts that are widely used in the complex systems community.
