Dynamic Network Analysis for Robust Uncertainty Management

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop and demonstrate, in challenge problems selected by DARPA DSO, techniques for managing uncertainty in complex dynamical systems. Out of the original three-year program, the first two phases were executed. Each of these phases was divided into tool development as well as meeting challenge problems to demonstrate the convergence of these tools in concerted efforts. More explicitly, the overarching goal of the project was to develop tools and workflows for quantifying and managing uncertainty in ways that would perform orders of magnitude faster than Monte Carlo sampling with controlled, provable scaling (preferably linear in the system size). The challenge problems were designed to demonstrate progress toward this ultimate goal.
