Uncertainty Quantification and Uncertainty Reduction Techniques for Large-scale Simulations

Modeling and simulations of large-scale systems are used extensively to not only better understand a natural phenomenon, but also to predict future events. Accurate model results are critical for design optimization and policy making. They can be used effectively to reduce the impact of a natural di...
