Correlated risks and the value of information

Journal of Economics, 2010
A decision maker faces two correlated risks and can obtain information on only one of them. Intuition suggests that the existence of a high correlation (in absolute value) between the risks should increase total information value. Indeed in such a case information about one risk induces a relevant information on the other one.

Risk Informed Computer Economics

2009 9th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid, 2009
Grid computing continues to hold promise for the high-availability of a wide range of computational systems and techniques. It is suggested that Grids will attain greater acceptance by a larger audience of commercial end-users if binding Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are provided.

Information risk and security modeling

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
This research paper presentation will feature current frameworks to addressing risk and security modeling and metrics. The paper will analyze technical level risk and security metrics of Common Criteria/ISO15408, Centre for Internet Security guidelines, NSA configuration guidelines and metrics used at this level.

Information security and risk management

Communications of the ACM, 2008
Use the new PCR risk metric to find ways to enhance security, avoiding one-dimensional metrics like ALE that could risk an organization's survivability.

Informing patients and explaining risks

The Foundation Years, 2000
Two ethical principles, autonomy and veracity, underpin the imperative to inform and explain the risks of medical interven-tions to patients, but are not the only principles guiding clinical practice. They often conflict with the more traditional principles of beneficence and non-maleficience.

The value of risk-reducing information

Journal of Medical Systems, 1994
This manuscript integrates the utility-increasing advantages of risk reductions into well-known value-of-information justifications for executive information systems (EIS). Accordingly, even some EISs which never pay for themselves financially can be advantageous if they sufficiently reduce the uncertainty of net income for "risk averse" hospitals. The

Risk-Aware Information Disclosure

2015
Risk-aware access control systems grant or deny access to resources based on some notion of risk. In this paper we propose a model that considers the risk of leaking privacy-critical information when querying, e.g., datasets containing personal information. While querying databases containing personal information it is current practice to assign all-or-

A measure of information value for risk

Risk Analysis
AbstractInformation is crucial for risk management; however, no quantified measure to evaluate risk information exists to date. The standard measure of value of factual information is information entropy—that is, the negative logarithm of probability.
