On the surface, the emerging field of synthetic biology looks highly similar to that of genetic engineering. However, the two fields are based upon divergent underlying logic structures. Whereas genetic engineering affects change through localized modifications of existing organisms, synthetic biology attempts to fuse independent component parts to create wholly novel applications. While legacy...

In this paper, we conduct a quantitative analysis for a strategic risk management problem that involves allocating certain available failure-mitigating and consequence-alleviating resources to reduce the failure risk of system safety components and subsequent losses, respectively , together with selecting optimal strategic decision alternatives, in order to minimize the risk or expected loss in...
