Professors Janet K. Allen and Farrokh Mistree are a wife and husband partnership whose passion is to have fun in providing highly motivated and talented people an opportunity to learn how to define and achieve their dreams. Anand Balu Nellippallil, the lead author of the book, is one such person. Together with co-authors, Dr. BP Gautham of Tata Consultancy Services, India and Professor A.K. Singh of IIT Kanpur, India, they mentored Anand in the completion of his dissertation on which this book is based.Janet holds the John and Mary Moore Chair in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. Farrokh holds the L. A. Comp Chair at the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Janet received her S.B. degree from MIT in 1967 and her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1973. She has co-authored one textbook, two monographs and over 300 technical articles associated withmanaging uncertainty inherent in simulation-based design associated with the integrated realization of materials, products and associated manufacturing processes, the design of mechanical, thermal and structural systems and engineered networks. She is a Fellow of ASME, an honorary member of Pi Tau Sigma and a senior member of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of SWE, ASEE, INFORMS and TMS.

Farrokh received his B.Tech. (Hons) degree in Naval Architecture in 1967 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1974. He has co-authored two textbooks, two monographs and more than 400 technical papers dealing with the integrated realization of materials, products and associated manufacturing processes, the design of mechanical, thermal and structural systems; ships and aircraft; engineered networks.  Farrokh is a Fellow of ASME and an Associate Fellow of AIAA.
