# Reliability Sensitivity and Optimization Modules
__NOTOC__
Immediate (end of summer 2010!) achievable goals that can be deliverd that are useful to PEER, NEES!, and industry users.

Based on Terje's original work, Kevin & Michaels changes.
One new change all agree on is use of a new FunctionEvaluator class and introduction of some other class to store results in.
