Workshop
Mathematical and computational modelling
of rare events in complex systems
November 18-20, 2019 - CCEN/UFPE, Recife, PE, Brazil
This Workshop is an activity of the RareDep Project, a Math-AmSud project developed jointly by a team of researchers based in Brazil, Chile, France and Uruguay.
The RareDep project focus on developing new techniques addressing two central elements for the improvement of the available tools for risk analysis of complex systems. One is the case of rare events, occurring both in performance and in dependability evaluation of systems modeled as made of many components. Rare events preclude the use of Monte Carlo techniques when the event of interest has a small probability of occurring, and specific methods are necessary, with many open problems in the area. Independence is the usual assumption when building models, but we know that the assumption is almost never satisfied. We often are constrained by the necessity of assuming independent components in order to be able to use the available methods. In RareDep, we intend to address both problems simultaneously.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in the modelling of multi-component systems, estimation of rare events and related topics.
Location
The activities will be held at the Auditorium of CCEN-UFPE. Only at Monday 18th, between 15h00 and 17h30 the activities will be held at the Auditorium of CIn-UFPE.
