Research with real-world application is at the core of the Center for Complex Systems & Enterprises’ (CCSE’s) interdisciplinary study of complex enterprise systems.
Mission
Founded in 2012, the Center for Complex Systems and Enterprises (CCSE) partners with industry, government and academia to confront enterprise challenges and engineer a better future with improved quality of life. Its research addresses inter- and transdisciplinary issues through evidence-based, unbiased decision-making across four key domains: aerospace & defense, AI/machine learning applications, healthcare, and transportation and logistics.
CCSE develops computational models and prototypes of complex enterprises to help business leaders and policymakers assess the impact of potential decisions, avoid unbeneficial moves, explore alternatives, and turn data into meaningful action. The center accelerates the conceptualization, development and validation of multi-level computational models that drive real improvements in these systems.
Data science, machine learning, AI and systems engineering are woven into the research, supporting better policy, system design and integrated learning for a smarter, more adaptive future. A core focus is on enabling stakeholders to use data effectively through rapid development of sophisticated models.
As society’s large-scale systems and critical infrastructure grow more complex and interconnected, improving them requires a cross-cutting approach that includes engineering, physical sciences, economics, finance, management, behavioral and social sciences. CCSE’s goal is to generate insight and value by interactively exploring real and computationally imagined systems using a holistic, interdisciplinary lens. The center both creates new tools and methods and integrates existing ones to meet this challenge.
