Description: This article discusses new develpments in computer technology including artificial intelligence, use of stochastic models and use of quantum mechanics in building computers.

Description: Presented at May 1996 Spring Meeting. Presents case studies on the use of technology to solve some of the problems commonly encountered by actuaries in smaller companies.

Description: Opinion piece about when, how, and why actuaries need approximations.

Description: The authors envision a data warehouse with information at the policy level or lower, and demonstrate how this data can be used to analyze the sources of earnings. The key to their analysis is the data warehouse, which links each policy, not only to valuation assumptions and results, but also to general ledger accounting amounts and to projections - model output that feeds the financial plan.

Description: Feature article about the use of approximations.

Description: The P versus NP millennium problem considers a grouping of programs based on a formula for how long at most it takes to process an input string of length n. This article discusses building computer models to solve such problems and generalizes this to business applications.

Description: This book is all about granularity. The authors envision a data warehouse with information at the policy level or lower .
