Uncertainty management methods and tools with applications to aircraft flight control system design

Almost all kinds of men's activities associated with design, manufacturing and maintenance of complex systems consist of next two main classes of problems: a generation of decision alternative set allowed for situation studied, and decision making, i.e. choice of some decision alternative from the set of allowed ones. A role of various kinds of uncertainties related to complex system design process is discussed based on intelligent flight control system design example. A mixed information technology is used for this problem solving based on mathematical modeling, multi-purpose system methodology and artificial neural networks. This approach promises to stay an effective technical decision generation and making tool for problem solving with various kind of uncertainties involved.
