Title : Managing Emergence in Safety-Critical Organizations

Presenter Alexei Sharpanskykh
Abstract My WAI talk will be dedicated to research, which I've been doing in the frames of my Veni project "Managing Emergence in Safety-Critical Organizations". In this research, a formal, agent-based approach is being developed to understand and predict how safety issues (global system properties) emerge from local interactions and behavior of human and technical actors in complex safety-critical organizations (e.g., air navigation service providers, power plants, railway systems). The approach is based on both simulation and analytical techniques. The approach can be used for formal risk assessment, identification of safety issues, and evaluation of effects of changes in safety-critical organizations.

Title : EduApp: an Educational iPad App

Presenter Willem van Willigen
Abstract In this talk, I will present an iPad app that one of our students has developed for use in the the Evolutionary Computing course. This app contains content related to the course, such as slides, articles, videos, and demos. You could benefit from this too! A template app is developed as well, that can easily be filled with content from your own course. This means that tailor-made apps for courses can be made very quickly and easily. In my talk, I would like to get feedback from you on this.
