Valuing portfolios of interdependent real options using influence diagrams and simulation-and-regression: A multi-stage stochastic integer programming approach
An approach for analyzing and managing flexibility in engineering systems design based on decision rules and multistage stochastic programming
ABSTRACT This article introduces an approach to assess the value and manage flexibility in engineering systems design based on decision rules and stochastic programming. The approach differs from…
A decision support framework for economic evaluation of flexible strategies in pavement construction projects
TLDR
Application of PASRODS in a highway project case study in Iran demonstrates that taking the managerial flexibilities into account results in valuing the projects in a more rational and actual manner.
An Options Approach for Decision Support of Systems With Prognostic Capabilities
TLDR
A decision support model based on options theory, a financial derivative tool extended to real assets, to valuate maintenance decisions after a remaining useful life prediction is developed and demonstrated.
Design Catalogs: A Systematic Approach to Design and Value Flexibility in Engineering Systems
TLDR
The proposed process addresses the complexity of the design problem under uncertainty, recognizing that it is impossible to analyze all possible combinations of evolutions, and the flexible ways in which the system could adapt over time.
A Real Options Approach to the Design and Architecture of Water Supply Systems Using Innovative Water Technologies Under Uncertainty
Water supply has become a priority for developed and developing nations of the world. Conventional water resources alone cannot meet the growing demand for water in urban cities. Management of the…

Real Options: Dealing With Uncertainty in Systems Planning and Design
The integration of “real options” analysis will radically change the design of public and private systems. It will change the processes of system design, the way planners deal with uncertainly and…
Value-at-risk analysis for real options in complex engineered systems
TLDR
A simple but powerful real options valuation methodology suitable for valuing flexibility in complex engineered systems based on value-at-risk analysis and relies on a standard discounted cash flow approach is presented.
Reducing Risk Through Real Options in Systems Design: The Case of Architecting a Maritime Domain Protection System
TLDR
It is shown that Monte Carlo analysis and genetic algorithms can be successfully combined to find solutions in a case with a very large number of possible futures and system designs.
Making Real Options Work for Practitioners: A Generic Model for Valuing R&D Projects
We propose a generic valuation framework for the appraisal of R&D projects based on real option theory. The added value of this approach is the presentation of a model that was implemented in a…
Extracting Value from Uncertainty: Proposed Methodology for Engineering Systems Design
TLDR
A design methodology that adds value to engineering systems by considering flexibility at an early conceptual stage and provides screening tools to find areas where flexibility can be incorporated at the engineering, operational, and management decision levels is introduced.
Dynamic strategic planning for technology policy
TLDR
The principles of Dynamic Strategic Planning are described, specific methods that are effective for carrying them out are indicated, and their use through application to the formulation of policy on low-emission automobiles in the United States is illustrated.
4.5.1 Extracting Value from Uncertainty: A Methodology for Engineering Systems Design
Designers and managers of new investments in engineering systems look for ways to add value to their programs. One fundamental way to do this is by taking advantage of uncertainty. Although…
Applying ‘Options Thinking’ To R&D Valuation
