REC 2008; Zissimos P. Mourelatos 32 General Conclusions There are formal design optimization tools depending on amount and form of available information; e.g. RBDO, EBDO, PBDO, BADO, Bayesian + Evidence. There is a trade-off between conservative designs (loss of optimality) and available information. Deterministic RBDO EBDO BADO Less Information More Conservative Design PBDO Bayesian + Evidence
