Opportunities and Challenges in Uncertainty Quantification for Complex Interacting systems

Chaired by Roger Ghanem and Demetrios Spanos, this Workshop will provide a forum where issues of uncertainty quantification and model validation in predictive science will be addressed. It will bring together leading scientists from physics-based modeling, network science and social networks to explore the fundamental similarities and differences in the challenges facing them. Challenges and opportunities will be identified and a community of researchers and collaborators seeded.The Workshop will revolve around survey lectures and break-out sessions and will culminate in a report that summarizes participants' perspective on challenges and opportunities in developing a rational path forward for the discipline.The Workshop begins at 6 p.m. Sunday April 12 with an icebreaker meeting, and continues in all-day sessions the next two days.
