Ongoing global changes bring fundamentally new scientific problems requiringnew concepts and tools. A key issue concerns a vast variety of practicallyirreducible uncertainties, which challenge our traditional models and requirenew concepts and analytical tools. The uncertainty critically dominates, e. g.,the climate change debates. In short, the dilemma is concerned with enormouscosts vs. massive uncertainties of potential extreme impacts. Traditional scientific approaches usually rely on real observations andexperiments. Yet no sufficient observations exist for new problems, and ""pure""experiments and learning by doing may be very expensive, dangerous, orsimply impossible. In addition, available historical observations are contaminatedby actions, policies. The complexity of new problems does not allow to achieveenough certainty by increasing the resolution of models or by bringing in more links. Hence, new tools for modeling and management of uncertainty are needed, as givenin this book which was prepared for an interdisciplinary audience, and addresses openproblems, limitations of known approaches, novel methods and techniques, or lessonsfrom the applications of various approaches. Thus, the book contributes to a betterunderstanding between practitioners dealing with the management of uncertainty, andscientists working on either corresponding modeling approaches that can be applied forimproving understanding or management of uncertainty. | Coping with Uncertainty by Kurt Marti Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Business & Finance > Economics P10110, Kurt Marti<
