Abstract:
The current society faces a range of challenges, related to the need to understand dynamical behaviour of both artificial and natural complex systems, that directly or indirectly affect the security and safety of critical infrastructures. Such systems include the production, communication and transport networks, including the internet, social networks, logistical networks, power grids as well as big installations like power plants, bridges or river dams. These systems show a range of common properties, such as nonlinear dynamics, complex in-homogeneous structure and non-Gaussian probability distributions, that require the development of new mathematical models and their utilization in key application areas. It is focused on mathematical modelling and analysis of complex dynamical systems with potential applications to power plants security, energy transmission networks, social and information networks, media, and logistic networks. We expect impact mainly through developing tools for online detection and prediction of extreme phenomena in complex networks in order to increase their reliability and stability. For instance in the area of power plant security, guidelines based on detailed review and own experimental results will be offered to power plants service companies and regulation organs in the Czech Republic and abroad, including an analysis of possibilities and necessary conditions for optimal design of typical, structure specific SHM systems.
