CoTRE - Complexity Twin for Resilient Ecosystems

随着我们加速进入21世纪，我们的骨干工程系统变得越来越复杂和相互联系。我们的许多关键基础设施生态系统由相互依赖的子系统组成，每个子系统都由复杂的非线性动力学和级联相互作用控制。CoTRE项目将建立英国关键基础设施生态系统的数学镜像。“复杂性双胞胎”将是世界上首次尝试了解大规模复杂系统的恢复能力，这些系统日益面临来自人类和自然的威胁。该项目将解决复杂系统稳定性的基本理论问题，并与各种关键基础设施运营商合作，制定短期和长期弹性投资策略。

As we accelerate into the 21st century, our backbone engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex and connected. Many of our critical infrastructure ecosystems are comprised of interdependent sub-systems, each governed by complex non-linear dynamics and cascade interactions. The CoTRE project will build a mathematical mirror to the UK's critical infrastructure ecosystems. The "complexity twin" will be a world first attempt to understand the resilience of large-scale complex systems that increasingly face threats from man-kind and nature. The project will address the fundamental theoretical aspects of the stability of complex systems and work with a variety of critical infrastructure operators to develop short term and long term resilience investment strategies.
