The webinar will introduce the concept of complexity, which is
defined as a function of structure and entropy. It is shown how
this approach allows to establish a metric which possesses a
maximum value known as "critical complexity". In the proximity of
critical complexity dynamical systems possess a large number of
possible modes of behaviour and are therefore characterized by the
capacity to deliver surprising behaviour. Based on this concept, it
is shown how critically complex systems are more exposed in terms
of risk and are more difficult to manage and control. The "state of
health", or robustness, of a generic system may be inferred based
on its distance from criticality. Numerous industrial examples of
application are shown from fields such as engineering, banking,
economics and medicine.

Webinar Presenters
Dr. Jacek Marczyk
 Dr. Marczyk has twenty-five years of experience in Computer-Aided
Engineering, gained in the aerospace, automotive and off-shore
industries. He holds an MS in Aeronautics Engineering, Polytechnic
of Milan, Italy, MS in Aerospace Engineering, Polytechnic of Turin,
and a Ph.D in Civil Engineering from the Polytechnic University of
Catalonia, Barcelona. In the past ten years he has developed and
introduced to the industry the first commercial software system for
large-scale stochastic simulation, ST-ORM. In the period 2002-2003,
he led the development of MSC's Robust Design, an award winning
second-generation stochastic simulation environment which has been
released in October 2003. He has actively pioneered innovative
methodologies and approaches to stochastic mechanics, with
particular emphasis on building realistic models and stochastic
model validation. He has published four books on stochastic and
nonlinear mechanics and numerous papers. During his twenty-five
year career, he has worked for companies such as EADS/CASA, BMW,
Centric Engineering Systems, ESI, Silicon Graphics, EASi
Engineering, Tecnomare and MSC Software.
In 2005 he founded Ontonix LLC, of which he is also the Chief
Technical Officer.
