59 Risk Assessment - Release Modeling

Tuesday, March 15, 2011: 1:30 PM
Columbus EF (Hyatt Regency Chicago)
Description:
Release Modeling is at the heart of Quantitative Risk Assessment. A saying goes “All models are wrong, some are useful.” The papers in this session describe efforts to make these models more useful by improving their correlation to the results of actual tests or by applying them in ways that better predict what can happen as the result of a release.
