In order to obtain more reliable optimal solutions of concrete technical/economic problems, e.g. optimal design problems, the often known stochastic variations of many technical/economic parameters have to be taken into account already in the planning phase. Hence, ordinary mathematical programs have to be replaced by appropriate stochastic programs. New theoretical insight into several branches of reliability-oriented optimization of stochastic systems, new computational approaches and technical/economic applications of stochastic programming methods can be found in this volume.
