Heuristics structure and pervade formal risk assessment.
Lay perceptions of risk appear rooted more in heuristics than in reason. A major concern of the risk regulation literature is that such "error-strewn" perceptions may be replicated in policy, as governments respond to the (mis)fears of the citizenry. This has led many to advocate a relatively technocratic approach to regulating risk, characterized by high reliance on formal risk and cost-benefi...
متن کاملCultural heuristics in risk assessment of HIV/AIDS.
Behaviour change models in HIV prevention tend to consider that risky sexual behaviours reflect risk assessments and that by changing risk assessments behaviour can be changed. Risk assessment is however culturally constructed. Individuals use heuristics or bounded cognitive devices derived from broader cultural meaning systems to rationalize uncertainty. In this study, we identify some of the ...
متن کاملA Formal Approach to Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Management
Insurers paid $1.6 billion on property claims arising from catastrophes in 1984. Researchers have estimated that annual insured catastrophe losses could e.weed $16 billion. Certainly, thejnanciaI implications for the insurance industry of losses of this magnitude would be severe; even industry losses much smaller in magnitude could cause financial di$iculties for insurers who are heavily expose...
متن کاملA Formal Approach for Risk Assessment in RBAC Systems
Risk assessment and access control are important issues in cloud computing. In this paper, we propose a formal approach to risk assessment for RBAC Systems, in which access control decisions are taken after consideration of risk assessment. The risk assessment method considers partial orderings on objects and actions, which allow us to effectively capture the notions of importance of objects an...
متن کاملFormal Model and Scheduling Heuristics for the Replica Migration Problem
Replication of the most popular objects is often used in distributed data provision systems to reduce access time and improve availability. In fact, a given replica placement scheme may have to be redefined as object popularity changes. Given two replica placement schemes X and X, the Replica Migration Problem (RMP) is to compute a schedule of replica transfers and deletions that lead from X to...
