Systems Risk Modelling and Analysis in Engineering Decision Making (2018)

Welcome to Systems Risk Modelling and Analysis in Engineering Decision Making


Description:

The present course provides the background, methods and tools for probabilistic modeling and analysis of engineered systems in the context of decision making aiming to support the management of risks, safety, security, robustness, resilience and sustainability.

Topics/lectures of the course include:

  • Probability and statistics in engineering
  • Bayesian decision analysis
  • Preferences and risk metrics
  • Probabilistic systems representation
  • Systems performance characteristics
  • Methods and tools for risk and decision analysis
  • Application examples

Application domains include but are not limited to transport infrastructures, energy production and distribution systems, buildings and structures, offshore and marine systems, natural hazards protection structures.

The target audience is PhD students but also young researchers and professionals from the industry and governmental agencies with an interest in the topics of the course are welcome. The course is offered at national as well as international level.

Examination will take basis in exercises to be solved during the course. For the participant interested in the full 5 ECTS points an additional assignment to be solved within 2 weeks from the finalization of the course is offered. This assignment will be examined through a web-conference session.

Important information concerning PhD courses We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
