1. A computer-based system for managing risk in a complex system, the computer-based system comprising:
- a processor coupled to a data storage device; and
an interface adapted to exchange data with another device,the data storage device having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including;
retrieving historical event data, risk event categories and performance criteria from the data storage device;
determining event paths for each event that presents a risk;
weighting critical nodes for each event path;
retrieving standards from the data storage device;
generating online surveys by triangulating standards;
issuing online surveys electronically using the processor to transmit the surveys to external systems via a computer network coupled to the interface; and
receiving online survey responses electronically and scoring the responses, using the processor, to generate performance reports including an assessment of risk potential for each risk event category.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media for computerized event risk assessment, event projection and control of events associated with complex systems are disclosed. The assessment can include using statistically processed survey data to determine risk category performance. Event projection can be based on data retrieved from a past events database. Control can include real-time control of subsystems within the complex system and providing reports and visualizations. The visualizations can include profile graphs, bar graphs, dashboards and hyperbolic mapping.

19. A computerized control system for real-time control of events associated with a complex system, the computerized control system comprising:
-
a processor having an information processing unit and a computer readable medium; a database coupled to the processor, the database being adapted to store event risk assessment, projection and control information; a display coupled to the processor and adapted to display event risk assessment, projection and control information generated by the processor; one or more sensors each being adapted to provide a signal to the processor; one or more actuators each being adapted to receive a control signal from the processor; and an interface coupled to the processor and adapted to connect the processor to a computer network, the computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including; identifying, characterizing and assessing risk associated with the complex system; projecting event paths for each risk, each event path having one or more decision points; calculating adjusted threat quotient values for each decision point along each event path; monitoring sensor values; determining whether a risk event is in progress; and when a risk event is in progress, generating an action plan for responding to the risk event based on the adjusted threat quotient values.
