PINTO CO-AUTHORS BOOK ON ADVANCED RISK ANALYSIS

Ariel Pinto, associate professor in the department of engineering management and systems engineering, co-authored a book analyzing risk in engineering enterprise systems. The book, Advanced Risk Analysis in Engineering Enterprise Systems, under a focus of systems engineering management, explains how to represent, model, and measure risk in large-scale, complex systems that are engineered to function in enterprise-wide environments.

With more and more communication, transportation, and financial systems connected across domains and interfaced with an infinite number of users, information repositories, applications, and services, there has never been a greater need for this type of research. This book gives advanced methods for tackling risk problems at the enterprise level.

Moving on to extreme and rare event risks, the text discusses how uncertainties in system behavior are intensified in highly networked, globally connected environments. It also describes how the risk of extreme latencies in delivering time-critical data, applications, or services can have catastrophic consequences and explains how to avoid these events.

Features of the book include:

• A risk analytical framework for engineering enterprise systems
• Capability portfolio risk management, FDNA, and extreme-event theory
• Prioritization systems in highly networked enterprise environments
• Measurement methods for risks of extreme latencies in complex queuing networks
• Exercises in each chapter to further an understanding of theory and practice

This book aligns well with Dr. Pinto's research interests which encompass the areas of risk management in engineered systems, including project risk management, risk valuation, risk communication, analysis of extreme-and-rare events, and decision making under uncertainty.
