Upcoming Events and Training

Annual Meeting – December 5–9, 2009 Baltimore, Maryland
DARSG symposia and discussions are geared towards advancing the science, art, and practice of decision making under uncertainty and the development of methods that integrate decision analysis and risk analysis methods.  This focus lends itself to policy-relevant and applied work.  Over 130 abstracts were submitted for consideration for incorporation into the SRA Annual Meeting this year.  These submissions have been grouped into sixteen oral sessions covering advances in the state-of-the-art in methodology and applications of decision analysis tools for environmental and Homeland Security problems.

Training
DARSG actively promotes the presentation of training courses to provide fundamental information on topics relevant to decision analysis.  This year there are three decision analysis courses being offered at the conference hotel on December 5th prior to the SRA annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.

  • Decision Analysis for Risk Analysts (G. Parnell)
  • Spatial Decision Support Tools for Managing Multi-Criteria Environmental Contamination Problems (T. Sullivan)
  • Decision Support Tools as an Aid in Making Cleanup Decisions for Sites Contaminated with Unexploded Ordnance (L. Haineson)

Please consider taking one of these courses.  For more information please contact Terry Sullivan.
