Civil Infrastructure System-of-Systems Interdependency Laboratory. In the lab, you will investigate how an integrated approach -- based on broad system interdependencies in a human-made environment -- can mitigate the management challenges associated with infrastructure sustainability. You will gain the technical knowledge necessary for designing, constructing, managing, maintaining, restoring, operating, and protecting efficient, resilient, and sustainable communities. The laboratory uses research tools, including multi-agent based modeling, system dynamics simulation, social network analysis and graph theory, game and auction theory, option and hedging theory, bootstrapping and resampling techniques, and statistical factor analysis. This facility makes good use of today’s technology-based research tools including geographic information systems, big spatiotemporal databases, remote image sensing and building-information modeling.
