New technologies for the support of risk management. A systems-engineering point of view for the creation of risk information systems

Within the framework of the poly project, the partial project 'Methodical Fundamentals and Computer Supported Risk Management' has developed two RISs (Risk Information Systems). The aim of the present book is to present the viewpoints gained in these new technologies and model formation attempts with which new RISs can be conceived and created. Because of the numerous new attempts, a compromise had to be made between the breadth and depth of the discussions whereby the breadth was preferred; which means that the aim is to define the broad range of RIS development as comprehensively as possible. The reader is meant to be motivated to think about the new technologies and their role in risk management. figs., tabs., refs
