The majority of engineering knowledge is learned from experience in
testing and operations. However, learning from prototype testing
and operational accidents/problems is both costly, time consuming,
and risky. In the past, this has been an accepted cost of adopting
new technologies, as it has been the only way we learn about what
we do not know. The unanticipated and often non-intuitive results
of new technologies are often realized in operations, and sometimes
only after decades. This uncertainty is the result of combinations
of factors or characteristics, all of which have natural ranges of
variability. This variability and uncertainty has historically been
taken into account through the use of safety factors, based on
experience. This has led the engineering community to investigate
various techniques to determine a realistic understanding of how
the design will operate within the planned working environment. One
of these techniques is commonly referred to as 'Stochastics', or
more recently, 'Simulation-supported Decision Making'
(SSDM).
