W3233 -- Networks and Complexity in Social Systems (Collective Dynamics Group ISERP -- Columbia University) Course Syllabus

The Networks and Complexity in Social Systems course commences with an overview of the nascent field of complex networks, dividing it into three related but distinct strands: Statistical description of large scale networks, viewed as static objects; the dynamic evolution of networks, where now the structure of the network is understood in terms of a growth process; and dynamical processes that take place on fixed networks; that is, "networked dynamical systems". (A fourth area of potential research ties all the previous three strands together under the rubric of co-evolution of networks and dynamics, but very little research has been done in this vein and so it is omitted.) The remainder of the course treats each of the three strands in greater detail, introducing technical knowledge as required, summarizing the research papers that have introduced the principal ideas, and pointing out directions for future development. With regard to networked dynamical systems, the course treats in detail the more specific topic of information propagation in networks, in part because this topic is of great relevance to social science, and in part because it has received the most attention in the literature to date.

ELEC3035: Control System Design

Lecture slides, handouts for tutorials, exam papers, and numerical examples for a third year course on Control System Design.

Systems Design: Introduction to Systems

This is the introductory slides for Comp1209 Systems Design. In the first half we explain the structure of the course, and in the second we give a brief introduction to Systems (using Bloodhound SSC as a class exercise)

System Design: Introduction to Group Work

In this course you will learn a number of different ways in which to describe a system, at both a high level (using SSM) and a low level (using UML). The main coursework for the course is to work in groups and use these techniques on a case study of your collective choosing. In this session we put the students into groups, run a brainstorming activity on potential businesses, and outline some of the group activities that will be required over the course.

System Design: Alternative Individual Assessment Scenario

This is the scenario used in the course when individuals are unable to participate in group work. It includes a written case study of a diary farm, and several news articles that describe various views on the business of dairy farming.

MA Communication Design Induction

Overview of the course including the structure, content and definition of post-graduate study

Introduction to Game Design and Development

This is the introductory lecture to COMP3218. We introduce ourselves, cover the philosophy of the course, the structure and assessment process, and lead an initial game design exercise.
