HERON plugin for RAVEN framework

 HERON (Holistic Energy Resource Optimization Network) is a project to construct workflows solving complex resource allocation problems to meet target economic goals.

It leverages probabalistic analysis tool [raven](https://github.com/idaholab/raven) to run constructed workflows. HERON is a plugin for RAVEN.

Instructions for installing RAVEN plugins (including HERON) can be found [on RAVEN’s website](https://github.com/idaholab/raven/wiki/Plugins).

See more on the [HERON wiki](https://github.com/idaholab/HERON/wiki) for installation, examples, and documentation.

## Publications The following are a selection of technical reports, conference proceedings, and journal articles that may be of interest to users and developers of HERON, loosely in order of work performed.
