This paper reviews the literature of technology assessment published over 1977 to 2016 to identify the major research themes over the past four decades. We retrieve 5493 articles from the Web of Science database and construct the citation network among them. By applying the edge-betweenness clustering technique to the citation network and splitting the data into groups, 4 major groups with more than...
The article is focused on issues of enhancing the methodological instruments of corporate governance. The concept of a new approach to quality assessment of a company's corporate governance is rationalized.
We formulate a computable equilibrium model to analyze the effects of two drought risk sharing systems on the multi-sector economy of two partner countries. The first system is a proportionally divided system where the crops produced in the two partner countries are proportionally divided between them without extra cost at drought periods. The second system is a forward contract system where the two...
A new hybrid preference framework of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is proposed to facilitate modeling and analysis of conflicts involving two decision makers (DMs) with fuzzy levels of preference. The new preference structure, a hybrid of models of three-level strength of preference and fuzzy preference, provides a more flexible technique to express DMs' relative preferences among...
This article is devoted to the formation of the dynamic measurement model of the cities' readiness to implement Smart City technologies. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption of the simulation modeling possibility in terms of determining the degree of cities' readiness for the introduction of Smart City technologies. The aim of the research is to develop a model of dynamic measurement of cities'...
Coastal communities constitute ∼40% of the total U.S. population, and roughly 50% of the national GDP is attributed to socio-economic activities in these regions. Port system operations and related industries constitute a majority of the industrial activities occurring in the region. This paper presents preliminary results from our work on the development of “FREIDA in Ports”: an interactive information...
The division of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states in South China Sea disputes brings up the question of how state coalitions form. Analysis of this issue often delves into specific factors such as the legality of territorial claims and each state's military and economic power. Generalized predictions of coalitions, however, require analysis of a variety of factors that...
A potential formalization of factor management and assessment algorithm, automated modeling system architecture and performance evaluation of major infrastructural transport and logistics projects and processes is suggested, based on numerical and analytical methods of digital economy, qualitative (verbal) and quantitative assessment indicators and criteria, economic logistics model and efficient...
The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the availability of TB care on the TB epidemic process. Processing and analysis were performed using methods of machine learning: cluster analysis, linear regression analysis and autoregressive models. It is shown that clusters with the severe epidemic situation are characterized by low staff availability in all its indicators and vice versa. The...
In recent times, major cybersecurity breaches and cyber fraud had huge negative impact on victim organisations. The biggest impact made on major areas of business activities. Majority of organisations facing cybersecurity adversity and advanced threats suffers from huge financial and reputation loss. The current security technologies, policies and processes are providing necessary capabilities and...
4 first-grade indicators and 13 second-grade indicators, which are selected by a two-stage grey cluster method from numerous factors such as those influencing the development of economy and society, infrastructure construction, and related industry development, constitute an assessment indicator system for evaluating regional economic and social development. Data was collected from 14 cities and prefectures...
With the accelerating process of urbanization, rural migrant workers flood into the cities. Research projects that aim at resettlement and employment promotion of these workers, social stability, as well as economic development have drawn attention of government and scholars alike. With respect to the matching problems of urban employment of rural migrant workers, grey incidence analysis and two-sided...
Industrial innovation platform is the engine of China's industrial structure transformation and upgrading in the new era and how to protect the interests of the cooperative units in the platform is an important factor to ensure the stable operation of the entire platform. Cooperative interest distribution is a complete and complex system engineering, which needs to consider the input, output, risk,...
According to the status quo that China's cross-border e-commerce is expanding rapidly, we selected the total imports and exports of China's cross-border e-commerce from 2008 to 2015 with a view to make some predictions. Firstly, using Grey System Theory, we partly establish GM(1,1) model and DGM(1,1) model to forecast and analyze the next five years' total imports and exports of China's cross-border...
The traditional principal-agent model is based purely on the self-interest of the agent. In this paper, the fairness preference is incorporated into the model, and the Crowdsourcing sponsors and the task participants are analyzed as a system. The fairness preference of task participants is considered to analyze the effect of fairness preference on benefit distribution. The study shows that the share...
As a measuring tool of evaluating teaching performance of Universities, the Excellent courses attract more and more attention. But in practice, how to objectively evaluate excellent courses is still unresolved. This paper tries to evaluate an excellent course of Huangshan University, selling course, based on the grey clustering model. We empirically justified the effectiveness of this method and followed...
The aims of this study were to forecast change of Chinese social donation in recent years by grey Verhulst model to find out characteristics of social donation and grey correlation analysis which was proposed by Professor Deng Julong is used to detect of an interpersonal relationship between the number of social donations from oversea and the number of foundations. This paper provides a quantitative...
Nowadays complex and dynamic business environments require easy and hands-on methods for enterprise modelling that recalibrate models constantly. This article describes a set of tools and techniques for enriching organizational models with semantic information and adjusting them on request. Firstly, we propose an approach for binding the model with relevant documents and experts. Secondly, we define...
In late 12th Five-Year, the problem of wind power curtailment is serious in Liaoning power grid. To encourage the providing of new energy to the grid, researchers press harder to resolve the problems of wind power integration difficulties and curtailment. Because peak-shaving cost of thermal power enterprises cannot be compensated reasonably under existing policy, thermal power enterprises cannot...
Public-private partnership (PPP) model has become an important solution of governments to provide infrastructures. In the execution of the PPP projects contracts, however, inevitably to renegotiate, which might affect the execution efficiency of PPP contracts. This paper built two PPP projects renegotiation bargaining game models of the private sectors and public sectors respectively through the analysis...
