BIG DATA ANALYTICS FOR RISK ENGINEERING (2:30 pm)

Risk Engineering is the discipline of utilizing predictive
analytics and real-time market data to design portfolios of risk that
target specific economic goals while satisfying regulatory, market, and
other constraints. Risk Engineering is used by insurance and reinsurance
companies as part of their strategic planning and execution. Analytical
processes around Risk Engineering are data-driven and computationally
intensive. Analyze Re provides Software-as-a-Service solutions for Risk
Engineering to the insurance and reinsurance industry. This talk provides
an overview of the computational challenges that are involved in Risk
Engineering applications and discusses how some of them are being solved
with today's technologies.
