Overview
- Fifty internationally known scholars have collectively contributed 30 papers on modeling uncertainty to this volume
- The papers cover a great variety of topics in probability, statistics, economics, stochastic optimization, control theory, regression analysis, simulation, stochastic programming, Markov decision process, application in the HIV context, and others.
- Easily accessible to a nonexpert - a graduate student or just anyone with some mathematical background who is interested in a preliminary exposition of a particular topic.

About the editors
Pierre L’Ecuyer is a Professor in the Departement d’Informatique et de Recherche Operationnelle at the Universite de Montreal, since 1990. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Stochastic Simulation and Optimization since 2004 and an Inria International Chair (at Inria-Rennes, France) for 2013–2018. He is a member of the CIRRELT and GERAD research centers, in Montreal.
Ferenc Szidarovszky is a senior researcher with the Ridgetop Group Inc. working on theoretical issues concerning reliability, robustness, optimal maintenance and replacement policies and prognostics in complex systems. In addition to these industrial applications he also performs research in systems theory, especially in dynamic economic systems. He has performed research in very broad fields of applied mathematics including numerical analysis, optimization, multi-objective programming, game theory, dynamic systems, applied probability and their applications in industrial processes, environment, water resources management, economics, and computer network security, among others. He currently has a professor position with the Applied Mathematics Department of the University of Pecs, Hungary, where his duty is a one week long intensive Game Theory Course every year.
