Technical sessions of the 2013 Risk Management Embedded Topical Meeting

The following is a set of sessions and sub-sessions for the 2013 risk management embedded topical meeting - Risk Management for Complex Socio-technical Systems (RM4CSS). We seek technical papers that can contribute to or bring new perspectives to any of the listed topics. We are also open to adding innovative special sessions.
