Currently there are exist many different trust models for different purposes. These models are often used for collaborative filtering to find partner for interaction in distributed systems. Most of these models simple uses decision making and partner selection approaches based on highest trust level selection method to choose an entity for an interaction. We assume that decision making and selection...
At present, researches on design rationale focus on the model representation and retrieval, which lack deeply mining in the design rationale model and cannot support innovative design. This paper proposes a decision-making context model and a graph mining based method to mine the model. This method could get large amount of tacit design rules, design consensus and design evidences in decision-making...
The features of complexity and dynamism characterize a social network and its processes. A network node, to perform a decision-making process, will have to consider its personal knowledge and also the influences received from its surroundings. The relationships of each single node change over the time, according to the dynamic evolution of the social network, altering at each time the relations between...
El Yali National Reserve is a protected area that is priority number one for the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF). It is located in the V region of Chile, where the risk of wildfire is quite high. In this context, training actors involved in combating wildfire is a relevant issue. Under the simulation of serious video games, a simulator that allows this training was built, since it is not possible...
One of the most interesting topics in social network research is opinion formation. In this paper we have introduced a new dependent multi-dimensional opinion formation method. This method models agents with several dependent opinions so that modifying the agent's opinion about one issue can affect its opinion about another issue. Agents share their opinion with agents which have trusted them. A directed...
Under the concept of Web-of-Object (WoO), emergency service is one of the key components in smart home care. Most distinctive characteristics of the emergency service are prompt detection, confidential decision making, and immediate reaction. For that, besides the general service management, the sensor data management, context processing, and communication functions are designed under the name of...
Technological uncertainty(TU) is often a great challenge and a matter of concern for a decision maker of the firm due to rapid change in the R&D technology and introduction of new technology in the firm's environment. Bigger question remains how we can conceptualize TU, especially in particular environmental context. Literature on TU reveals the need for identifying factors representing TU. This...
The motivation of the special session was to allow engineering educators and researchers to explore different cultural perspectives of engineering ethics, and understand how that would affect both individual and team ethical decision-making. This will inform how we teach and assess engineering ethics, especially in diverse project teams, and equip educators with tools for using these instruments as...
Engineering is becoming an increasingly global profession, requiring interaction with diverse sets of people from different countries, cultures, and traditions. This diversity introduces more social and ethical complexity to the profession and highlights the importance of enabling engineers to work collaboratively and develop strong ethical decision-making skills. This study examines the relationship...
The information systems and ERP adopted by small and medium companies are often viewed as key differentiators for their survival in today's competitive and challenging market. However, the integration of information technologies by firms in countries at the development stage is confronted with many barriers that are inherent to their specific cultural, educational and socio-economic environment. Our...
Knowledge management has become a vital strategy to conserve company knowledge and to reuse them. Research in this area has always been consenting on domain knowledge, domain ontology, expert systems etc. have been developed to manage professional domain knowledge, but less effort has been done on cooperative knowledge. In this paper, a cooperative knowledge discovery method DKD is proposed, we elaborated...
Social media increases the connectivity of people inside and outside an organisation. It is not just the implementation of communication technology, but the transformation of working and organisational cultures. The paper presumes that social media provides new opportunities to the organisational knowledge creation process by amplifying knowledge created by individuals as well as crystallising and...
This paper addresses dynamic security management in air navigation as a distributed collaborative agent problem and identifies a modelling approach for the implementation of a situation management capability in ATM. The traditional focus of aviation security is on preventive security aircraft and airport measures. When it comes to air navigation, the concept and scope of security is evolving. This...
As a promising solution to the scalability issue of the current routing infrastructure, locator/identifier separation has gained variety of attentions and resulted in thousands of peer-reviewed publications. However, there is still significant ongoing work addressing many challenges of the secure Locator/Identifier Separation Context (LISC). In this paper, we propose a novel Cognitive Adaptive Access-Control...
Decision making involves selection of a choice among alternatives. Making the right decision can be interpreted as choosing the more coherent alternative. In the context of adaptive decision making, Thagard's deliberative coherence model provides a computational model for which one is more coherent. This article presents the implementation and the integration of coherence-driven adaptive decision...
Decision making of worker for appropriate task selection based on workflow is often changed by occurring interruption. Concerned workers of interrupted workflow must optimize workflow to improve consumed time of current tasks by changing engagement of assigned tasks. Although work efficiency is improved by supporting experienced worker for inexperienced worker, time for nurture of inexperienced worker...
Goal models have established themselves as a means to capture often conflicting needs of stakeholders and reason about how alternative solutions may impact those needs, allowing for trade-off assessments at the early stages of development. More recently, goal models have been extended with the notion of indicators that allow quantitative, real-life measurements to be used in addition to qualitative...
Fuzzy concept lattice generated from fuzzy context (L-context) has been used in a number of fields, such as data mining, decision-making, information retrieval and so on. Recent works have achieved great success. In this paper, given a binary relation, we generated the fuzzy concept lattice. In order to make decision-making much easier, reducing the number of attributes without a large amount of information...
Achieving a smooth flow of work through the system is a goal for many teams and organizations that embrace agile and lean approaches. However, the flow of work faces many impediments as it flows through teams and organizations. Agile and lean approaches can reveal impediments that impact teams and organizations. Often at the start of their agile transition, but also frequently after the initial transition,...
Rather than denoting fuzzy membership with a single value, orthopairs such as Atanassov's intuitionistic membership and non-membership pairs allow the incorporation of uncertainty, as well as positive and negative aspects when providing evaluations in fuzzy decision making problems. Such representations, along with interval-valued fuzzy values and the recently introduced Pythagorean membership grades,...
