Integrated Uncertainty Quantification for Risk and Resource Management: A NASA Langley Perspective (Invited)

Uncertainty management in the design process can improve both risk and resource management while building confidence in the design. This paper postulates how uncertainty could be managed in a program or project to the benefit of scarce resources. An assessment space is introduced to aid in the management of the design cycle progression through its stages of maturity. The importance of classification and integration of uncertainties is discussed with some examples provided.
