Summary
This Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) project improves how engineers design complex systems. Critical challenges in areas such as energy systems and infrastructure resilience require design methods that can balance evolving and competing needs while accounting for multiple types of uncertainty. Conventional optimization approaches often fail because they focus too narrowly on perfect theoretical solutions that meet optimality requirements rather than practical, adaptable results. This project addresses this limitation by developing an ecosystem for a design tool that prioritize
