Sažetak
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held an Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) about programs of infrastructure risk in Primosten, Croatia on May 9-13, 2006. The US Society for Risk Analysis and Enconet International Zagreb cosponsored the ARW. Daniel M. Byrd and Dejan Skanata were the ARW director and co-director. Early on, Byrd and Skanata formed an organizing committee, consisting of the following seven (7) scientists: Daniel M. Byrd, Ph.D., D.A.B.T., LSRO, Inc., Bethesda, MD, USA ; Adrian Gheorghe, Professor, ETHZ, Zurich, Switzerland ; Jacques Ganoulis, Professor, AUTh, Thessaloniki, Greece ; James Lambert, Professor, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA ; Igor Linkov, Ph.D., Cambridge Environmental, Cambridge, MA, USA ; Davor Sinka, M.Sc., Enconet International, Zagreb, Croatia ; and Dejan Skanata, Ph.D., Enconet International, Zagreb, Croatia. The program included papers and/or posters by most of the approximately forty (40) engineers and scientists. The objective, exploring different methodologies and related applications, recognized four (4) major topics: Complex Models ; Simulation Models ; Distributional Models ; and Deterministic Models. Extensive discussion concentrated on the following issues: the state of the art and practice, gaps between the arts and practices, ways to bridge the gaps, and future research directions. The co-organizers and the organizing committee take pride in the effectiveness of the ARW. The major factor in satisfaction with the ARW was its intellectual content. A good agenda and organization led directly to the intensity of the discussions.
