Preliminary framework for the run-ahead predictive simulation software (RAPSS)

Creator:: Makinson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The Run-Ahead Predictive Simulation Software (RAPSS) is an architecture designed for faster-than-real-time decision support for operators of complex networks. To enable further development of the RAPSS methodology, the necessary proof of principle is illustrated in two applications: decision support for shift technical advisors in nuclear power plant control rooms (RAPSS-STA),...

Decision support systems for forest biodiversity management : a review of tools and an analytical-deliberative framework for understanding their successful application

Creator:: Gordon, Sean N.
Abstract:: The complexity of forest management has increased with the scope of resources of concern and the level of scrutiny from stakeholders. The design and use of specialized computer software, often referred to as “decision support systems” (DSS), is one method for helping managers deal with this complexity. DSS have proven...

Autonomous Decision Making Facing Uncertainty, Risk, and Complexity

Creator:: Short, Ada-Rhodes
Abstract:: The creation of autonomous decision makers to handle potentially hazardous or logistically complicated tasks is desirable for the purpose of reducing human labor and exposure to risk, and for increasing the general performance of autonomous systems in a wide variety of environments. However, traditional autonomous decision makers perform poorly when...

Impact Reduction in Demersal Fisheries: A Multi-Criteria Assessment of Objective Priorities

Creator:: Innes, James P.
Abstract:: When attempting to mitigate the environmental impacts of a fishery there are typically multiple criteria against which the performance of any measures can be assessed. If the gains are non-commercial (i.e. non-market) in nature, formally determining how well measures perform becomes more difficult. This study applies the analytic hierarchy process...

Entrepreneurs’ start-up versus persistence decisions: A critical evaluation of expectancy and value

Creator:: Holland, Daniel V. and Garrett, Robert P.
Abstract:: Research suggests that entrepreneurs tend to seek to maximize utility when considering whether to pursue a new venture opportunity. However, when choosing whether to persist with their current venture or not, utility maximization may not be of primary importance. Using a conjoint experiment, we examine the difference between policies in...

Integrating sustainable manufacturing assessment into decision making for a production work cell

Creator:: Zhang, Hao
Abstract:: Sustainability has been the focus of intense discussions over the past two decades, with topics around the entire product life cycle. In the manufacturing phase, research has been focused solely on environmental impact assessment or environmental impact and cost analysis in its assessment of sustainability. However, few efforts have investigated...
