Scenario Management: Process and Support

Scenario planning is a widely accepted management tool for decision support activities. Scenario planning, development, organisation, analysis, and evaluation are generally quite complex processes. Systems that purport to support these processes are complex and difficult to use and do not fully support all phases of scenario management. Though traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) provide ...

Scenario Reduction and Scenario Tree Construction for Power Management Problems

Portfolio and risk management problems of power utilities may be modeled by multistage stochastic programs. These models use a set of scenarios and corresponding probabilities to model the multivariate random data process (electrical load, stream flows to hydro units, and fuel and electricity prices). For most practical problems the optimization problem that contains all possible scenarios is t...

Using Scenario Networks for Scenario Management and Software Specification

Scenarios are widely used to specify desired system behaviors, but analyzing and managing large collections of scenarios remain a challenge. Scenario networks facilitate scenario management and serve as a powerful basis for analyzing and validating collections of scenarios. In a scenario network, each scenario is connected to those that may follow it, either as part of a single sequence or conc...
