Abstract

Risk modeling and analysis is one of the most important stages in a project`s success.There are many approaches for risk assessment, and an investigation of existing methodshelps in developing new models. This paper is an extensive literature survey in riskmodeling and analytic methods with a main focus on fuzzy risk assessment.
