Description:
Risk Analysis 2002 is the third in this popular series on ‘Computer Simulation in Risk
Analysis and Hazard Mitigation’. Covering a series of important topics, which are of
current research interest and have practical applications, the conference is
concerned with all aspects of risk analysis and hazard mitigation ranging from
specific assessment of risk to mitigation associated with both natural and
anthropogenic hazards.
The analysis and management of risk and the mitigation of hazards is essential. We live in an increasingly complex society with the potential for disasters on a world-wide scale. The advances in computational methods and the ability to model systems more precisely now enable hazards to be quantified, their effects to be simulated and risk analysis to be pursued with greater accuracy, providing far more effective risk management. These developments are not only important for all areas of human endeavour, but have particular relevance to environmental issues where the risks involved are increasingly seen as substantial. Effective risk management and the mitigation of possible hazards have become a high priority of government concern.
Risk 2002 follows on from the other successful meetings in this series, which first started in Valencia, Spain (1998) and continued in Bologna, Italy (2000).
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers and Managers involved in the development of simulated risk analysis as well as researchers in academia and industry who are concerned with these problems. The meeting acts as an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of problems of common interest.
