Topological spaces and manifolds are commonly used to model configuration
spaces of systems of various nature. However, many practical tasks, such as
those dealing with the modelling, control and design of large systems, lead
to topological problems having mixed topological-probabilistic character
when spaces and manifolds depend on many random parameters.
In my talk I will describe several models of stochastic algebraic topology.
I will also mention some open problems and results known so far.
