Integrated Risk Governance (IRG) is a new challenging research topic that urgently demands effective models and algorithms as analysis. This project, by advancing a newly emerging concept in complexity science – spatial complexity inspired models and algorithms (SCIMA), developed a methodological platform of models and algorithms for the study of IRG problems. The methods developed took into account important spatial and/or temporal features in real-world risk systems, and integrated risk management considerations into the model development stage, so as to develop more effective and efficient tools to analyze risk systems and improve risk management.
