Disease risk analysis: A tool for primate conservation planning and decision making

Article Abstract:

Risk analysis is a multidisciplinary, science-based process that, by blending four specific goal-oriented stages, namely hazard identification, risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication, can help to logically assess the probability that an adverse event, such as the introduction of an emerging disease into a native population, would occur. A review of this process, as it pertains to non-human primate conservation and risks associated with infectious diseases, is presented.

Opportunistic planning: being reminded of pending goals

Article Abstract:

A model that enables the recognition and representation of pending goals is described. Such goals are encoded in memory and kept there prior to the emergence of opportunities that would ensure their successful implementation. Constraints are identified and they come in either abstract or concrete form. The abstract constraint is preferable as it widens the range of options of the planner.
