Motivation. The integral of lognormal random fields is the central quantity of many probabilistic models in portfolio risk analysis, spatial point processes, etc. (see, e.g., Liu and Xu [12, 14]). The current analysis is of interest particularly for risk analysis of short-term behavior of a large size portfolio under high correlations. We elaborate more on this application. Consider a portfolio...

Are the levels of information risk management efforts within and between firms correlated with the resilience of the firms to information disruptions? This paper examines the question by considering the results of field studies of information risk management practices at organizations and in supply chains. The organizations investigated differ greatly in the degree of coupling from a general an...

This paper discusses techniques for integrating risk and multi-criteria analysis in electricity distribution system asset management. The focus is on the tasks of the distribution company asset managers whose challenge is to incorporate the different company objectives and risk analysis into a structured decision framework when deciding how to handle the company physical assets.

We present results of using Bayesian inference for recovering the 3-D shape and texture of an object based on information extracted from a single 2-D image. We are using a number of different models for specific object classes. The goal is to combine the classes to a hierarchical structure. Instead of searching for the most probable explanation we estimate the entire posterior distribution of t...

Neurons in the monkey inferior temporal cortex (IT) have been shown to respond to shapes defined by luminance, texture, or motion. In the present study, we determined whether IT neurons respond to shapes defined solely by binocular disparity, and if so, whether signals of disparity and other visual cues to define shape converge on single IT neurons. We recorded extracellular activity from IT ne...

Abstract This paper presents a novel approach for integrating human and organisational factors into risk analysis. This approach has been developed and applied to a case study in the marine industry, but it can be utilised in other industrial sectors. The approach consists of a BBN model of the maritime transport system that has been developed by taking into account the different actors of the ...
