Uncertainty Framework

Over the weekend I came across a paper by McManus and Hastings, "A Framework for Understanding Uncertainty and its Mitigation and Exploitation in Complex Systems".  The authors present a taxonomy covering uncertainty, risks & opportunities, mitigations & exploitations, and outcomes.  Then the authors cover the existing methods for dealing with uncertainty and which parts of the taxonomy are used in each method.

This is a pretty short paper and well worth the read if you are interested in all in dealing with uncertainty.
