Publication Listoriginal work by Anne Ku My published work stems from my initial doctoral research into modelling uncertainty and flexibility. Prior to arrival of the Internet, it was difficult to get hold of electronic copies, let alone hard copies. My most recent work is intended for a wider reach of audience, that is, freely available via the Internet. As a decision scientist, I am interested in how people make decisions. Typically, decision makers try to get as much information as possible. The Internet makes more information available to the masses. The variety of choices reassures the decision maker that he/she is not missing out. Free advice by people who have made such decisions, in the form of published articles and discussion forums, provides more indepth insight into each stage of the process so as to reduce the chance of making a mistake. The Internet facilitates price discovery and quality of service to determine what is value for money and what is reasonable to expect. While I'm churning out material on a daily basis, via my on-line diary, bon journal and my music, I have also several longer term projects. Two of these are useful books for the layman on decision making. Decision Making for Flexibility My energy-related articles have been published in Global Energy Business and Energy IT, both being bi-monthly magazines of Platts, a McGraw-Hill company.
