Abstract :
Risk is inherent in distributed, large-scale systems. The paper explores the challenges of risk modeling in such systems, and suggests a risk modeling approach that is responsive to the requirements of complex, distributed, large-scale systems. An example of the use of the approach in the marine transportation system is given. The paper concludes with a discussion of limitations of the approach and of future work
