In this paper, we introduce the main concepts of a new maximum livelihood evidential reasoning (MAKER) framework for data-driven inferential modelling and decision making under different types of uncertainty. It consists of two types of model: state space model (SSM) and evidence space model (ESM), driven by the data that reflects the relationships between system inputs and output. SSM is constructed...
The modelling for renewable energy system (RES) performance evaluation and impact analysis can be a challenging task, where there are multiple criteria with both quantitative and qualitative forms under uncertainty. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods have become increasingly popular in the decision-making for renewable energy systems because of the multi-dimensionality of the sustainability...
In view of the current problems of miscellaneous data channel, huge-scale information and rough evaluation method in power grid development diagnosis analysis, a study of power grid development diagnosis system is conducted based on multi-source data analysis. With the interface to product management system (PMS), energy management system (EMS), distribution automation system (DAS), electric information...
Software development methodology is a proposition that is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing a system. However, traditional methods, such as waterfall-like model, component-based programming, software architecture method and agile method, have encountered more fundamental difficulties in processing complex system development. To address this challenge, we have witnessed...
This study was designed to investigate the relationship between cross-cultural conflict and the capability of strategic positioning in transnational enterprises. In this paper, a structural equation model and a questionnaire survey were presented to analyze the relationship, and the results showed that the cross-cultural conflict is negatively impacted the capability of strategic positioning, especially...
Maintenance plays an important role in keeping the availability of civilian and military equipments at a satisfactory level. The issue, which decision maker is most concerned about, is how to keep the availability at a satisfactory level with less maintenance cost. In this study, we propose a simulation-optimization approach to spare parts allocation based on decision-maker's satisfaction. Firstly,...
For the management of a software development project, a software quality prediction model is very helpful since it can provide the management with useful information needed for decision-makings. Many software quality prediction models and techniques have been proposed and studied in the literature. Nevertheless, the complicated situations of software development process call for a more flexible model...
Warranty obligations in product service involve additional costs to the manufacturers. Building diagnostic features into a product can reduce the warranty costs because of; 1) fewer visits needed by warranty service representatives (through self-guided user repairs for simple problems) and 2) shorter service times (via reduced diagnostic time) for each failure. However, this approach increases the...
