Linthicum - Feb 06, 2003 The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is again making available a report commissioned by NASA about the risk to space shuttles from damage to the spacecraft's protective tiles. "Risk Management for the Tiles of the Space Shuttle" is by M. Elisabeth Pat¿-Cornell of Stanford University and Paul S. Fischbeck of Carnegie Mellon University. It is available online as a PDF File. The two professors were finalists in the 1993 competition for the Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences. The annual competition recognizes outstanding examples of projects that change people's lives. Last year, for example, Continental Airlines and CALEB Technology were recognized for applying a disaster recovery system that showed exceptional resiliency on September 11. In 1992, a team from the city of New Haven and Yale won for preventing AIDS through an innovative needle exchange program. The paper was originally published in the January, 1994 issue of Interfaces: An International Journal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.
