"By 1998 process reviews, legislation, new technology and performance management have all been introduced to equip WYP to effectively and robustly manage its intelligence and information.
The challenge, therefore, is to efficiently and robustly manage both computation and communication resources in this unpredictable environment to achieve high performance while satisfying the imposed constraints.
The contribution of the LoE/ACD methodology presented here is that it systematically finds the optimum of a process while robustly managing the aforementioned challenges.
We also confirmed another advantage of ComBat: it can robustly manage high-dimensional data when sample sizes are small, which is important for experiments with limited sample size, meta-analyses and clinical diagnostics.
Wald [ 21], Ben-Tal and Nemirovski [ 22] and others developed tools for robustly managing non-probabilistic uncertainty by minimizing the worst outcome on a set of possibilities.
Building information and monitoring data are also robustly stored and managed throughout all stages of an urban deep excavation project.
The report cites the Department for International Development as an example of good practice, saying it aimed to "have good performance management, both of high performers, and of poor performers who should be managed, and if necessary exited, robustly but with dignity".
Predicting the biosphere and providing sufficient evidence to manage it robustly is a greater challenge still.
A natural confrere of Pakistan's civilian president Asif Ali Zardari, Benazir Bhutto's widower and an instinctive ally of the west, Haqqani managed nevertheless to keep Pakistan's largely autonomous army on side, robustly defending its much criticised counterterrorism record and opposing CIA drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal areas.
Both sets of players managed to keep their heads, but equally both trod a fine line with their robustly physical approach.
