Abstract:

Risk analysis at Los Alamos focuses around the analysis of complex systems. This talk focuses around the steps that we use to develop analyses: representing the systems, mapping the data, analyzing the data, and making decisions about future data collection. These are the steps used for risk assessment and risk management. Each step is illustrated using examples from the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, or Department of Homeland Security.
