Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Design and planning decisions often employ quantitative models of various phenomena. Info-gap theory is a method for representing the uncertainty in models of phenomena upon which decisions critically depend and for evaluating and selecting between plans and designs in terms of effectiveness and robustness to both uncertainties.This unique two-day workshop will be a milestone in the development and dissemination of info-gap theory. It will for the first time bring together international researchers who have been progressing info-gap applications, in most cases independently of one another, and ask them to present demonstrations of the maturing theory and reflect upon future challenges. They will be joined by selected participants from the UK working in uncertainty analysis of engineering systems that have potential for application of info-gap theory. Each member of this latter group will be invited to present a poster summarising their current work and identifying potential info-gap applications to be discussed during the workshop.
