Models and Experiments in Risk and Rationality presents original contributions to the areas of individual choice, experimental economics, operations and analysis, multiple criteria decision making, market uncertainty, game theory and social choice. The papers, which were presented at the FUR VI conference, are arranged to appear in order of increasing complexity of the decision environment or social context in which they situate themselves. The first section `Psychological Aspects of Risk-Bearing', considers choice at the purely individual level and for the most part, free of any specific economic or social context. The second section examines individual choice within the classical expected utility approach while the third section works from a perspective that includes non-expected utility preferences over lotteries. Section four, `Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Under Uncertainty', considers the more specialized but crucial context of uncertain choice involving tradeoffs between competing criteria -- a field which is becoming of increasing importance in applied decision analysis. The final two sections examine uncertain choice in social or group contexts.
After the IPS2 conferences in Cranfield and Linköping in 2009 and 2010 the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 takes place in Braunschweig, Germany. IPS2 itself is defined as “an integrated industrial product and service offering that delivers value in use”. The customers expect comprehensive solutions, which are adapted to their individual needs. IPS2 offers the possibility to stand out from competition and for long-term customer loyalty. Particularly in times of economic crisis it becomes apparent which producing companies understand to satisfy the needs and requirements of their customers. Especially in this relatively new domain IPS2 it will be important to keep track of the whole context and to seek cooperation with other research fields and disciplines. The 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 serves as a platform for such collaborations and the discussion of new scientific ideas.

Collaborative Networks for a Sustainable World Aiming to reach a sustainable world calls for a wider collaboration among multiple stakeholders from different origins, as the changes needed for sustainability exceed the capacity and capability of any individual actor. In recent years there has been a growing awareness both in the political sphere and in civil society including the bu- ness sectors, on the importance of sustainability. Therefore, this is an important and timely research issue, not only in terms of systems design but also as an effort to b- row and integrate contributions from different disciplines when designing and/or g- erning those systems. The discipline of collaborative n...
Derrière la légende du bandit au grand cœur et sous l'image d'Epinal de l'insoumis en rébellion contre l'impôt, se cache une réalité historique bien plus sordide. Quelque part entre Guiers-Mort et Pont-de-Beauvoisin, vers les lônes du fleuve frontière qui sépare si mal la Savoie de la France, voici la caverne de Mandrin - triste sire - et ses quarante voleurs. Dans le face-à-face mortel qui l'oppose à l'Etat, Mandrin prend la population en otage : racket, terreur, chantages, tortures et " crimes atroces " jalonnent les sentiers de la contrebande et constituent le triste cortège d'une domination " mafieuse " sans mélange, celle qu'exerce la Bande à Mandrin pour imposer la loi du trafic et son corollaire : la loi du silence. Deux cent cinquante ans après est réouvert le Procès : c'est la fin de la complainte et l'écriture de tout nouveaux couplets pour la chanson...
