Coping with uncertainty and stress: a parallel computation approach

Coping with uncertainty and stress: a parallel computation approach

This paper is concerned with computations whose characteristics are akin to certain unique phenomena that occur in di erent domains of science. We are particularly interested in systems whose parameters are altered unpredictably whenever one of these parameters is measured or modi ed. Examples of such computational environments include those in which Heisenberg's uncertainty principle of quantu...

Approach, avoidance, and coping with stress.

The study of stress and coping points to two concepts central to an understanding of the response to trauma: approach and avoidance. This pair of concepts refers to two basic modes of coping with stress. Approach and avoidance are simply metaphors for cognitive and emotional activity that is oriented either toward or away from threat. An approach-avoidance model of coping is presented in the co...

Coping with Deep Uncertainty

Coping with Complexity and Uncertainty

The computational and heuristic strategies used by decision makers to manage uncertainty in complex systems originated with the early landmark contributions of J. von Neumann. These contributions took the form of artificial intelligence and artificial life concepts, and then evolved more specifically into game theory, expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms and evolutionary computat...
