Topic of the course is: robust system design and its application in different areas of science.
The long answer to these questions might be quite complicated, the short answer is simple - Robust System Design. Robust Systems are all around us, and to establish them we need to know what makes them robust - and maybe how to break them. This versatile subject is needed for designing systems of the future!
The course is focussed on identifying robustness issues across Engineering disciplines. The lectures will cover general properties of robust systems and how to ensure them, and will discuss robustness issues in systems from many different areas of our daily lives. At the end of the course we expect participants to be able to explain robustness criteria and analyse systems for robustness issues.
