Engineering systems are designed to operate well in the face of uncertainty of characteristics of components and operating conditions. In some case, uncertainty is introduced in the operations of the system, on purpose.
Understanding how to model uncertainty and how to analyze its e®ects is { or should be { an essential part of an engineer's education. Randomness is a key element of all systems we design. Communication systems are designed to compensate for noise. Internet routers are built to absorb tra±c °uctuations. Building must resist the unpredictable vibrations of an earthquake. The power distribution grid carries an unpredictable load. Integrated circuit manufacturing steps are subject to unpredictable variations. Searching for genes is looking for patterns among unknown strings.
