Announcement:

Summer School on Sensitivity Analysis of Model Output

U n i v e r s i t y  o f   V e n i c e

J u n e 12 - 15, 2002

Simulation models are used in many settings and for different purposes.
Knowledge uncertainty, uncertainty in observations, poorly known physical
parameters, alternative value judgements can impinge on the defensibility of
model-based results. The model X-raying offered by sensitivity analysis is
useful to investigate how these uncertainty sources affect the outcome of an
analysis.

Goal of the summer school is to make the participants aware of the
state-of-the-art methods in sensitivity analysis, to stimulate the flow of
new ideas, and to suggest new research directions. Most of the
methodological advances in the field of sensitivity analysis will be
covered.

Application case studies will cover environmental appraisal and
decision-making, financial risk, performance indicators for integrated
environmental/transportation policy, short-term time series analysis in
econometrics, physics, macro-economy, etc.

Hands-on sessions will use software packages (SIMLAB (JRC), GLUE (Lancaster
University - JRC), UNICORN (TU Delft), CAPTAIN Matlab Toolbox (CRES,
Lancaster, UK)) to show how sensitivity analysis can be used to supply
transparent pictures of the state-of-quality of model-based results and can
be beneficial to their defensibility.

SAMO 2002 is partially funded through the IST program of the DG Information
Society of the European Commission, KD-net project
