Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The article reviews multi-attribute utility theory from a measurement theoretic perspective. It describes and classifies decision situations according to three salient aspects of choice: uncertainty, time-variability, and multi-dimensionality. For each choice situation the main mathematical representations, their inter-relations and differences are discussed. Measurement theoretic tests are described which separate between multi-attribute utility models in riskless and risky time invariant choice situations. Assessment procedures are outlined to encode utility functions for the representations developed, and experimental applications of multi-attribute utility theory are briefly reviewed. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook brings together diverse domains and technical competences of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) into a single, comprehensive publication. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students/educators who require a wide-ranging and authoritative reference on MBSE with a multidisciplinary, global perspective. It is also meant for those who want to develop a sound understanding of the practice of systems engineering and MBSE, and/or who wish to teach both introductory and advanced graduate courses in systems engineering. It is specifically focused on individuals who want to understand what MBSE is, the deficiencies in current practice that MBSE overcomes, where and how it has been successfully applied, its benefits and payoffs, and how it is being deployed in different industries and across multiple applications. MBSE engineering practitioners and educators with expertise in different domains have contributed chapters that address various uses of MBSE and related technologies such as simulation and digital twin in the systems lifecycle. The introductory chapter reviews the current state of practice, discusses the genesis of MBSE and makes the business case. Subsequent chapters present the role of ontologies and meta-models in capturing system interdependencies, reasoning about system behavior with design and operational constraints; the use of formal modeling in system (model) verification and validation; ontology-enabled integration of systems and system-of-systems; digital twin-enabled model-based testing; system model design synthesis; model-based tradespace exploration; design for reuse; human-system integration; and role of simulation and Internet-of-Things (IoT) within MBSE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three projects that apply multi-attribute utility theory to contexts in which there are unique structural relationships between the attributes. In the first project, we develop an initial model for maximizing expected utility in health decisions, based on the principles of quality-adjusted life years (QALY). We then extend this model to allow for adaptation to health states. We do this by maintaining a reference level for each possible health condition being considered. A particular formulation of the utility function and reference levels allows us to compute the a priori reference-dependent expected utility for any given alternative. In the second project, we develop preference conditions for decisions made using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These conditions allow us to simplify the elicitation of preferences over spatially-defined outcomes, and are based on standard results in multi-attribute utility theory. We then apply these tools to several specific decisions, in the contexts of urban development, irrigation, nuclear accident planning, and fire coverage. In the third project, we formulate and develop utility structures that can effectively incorporate altruistic preferences. Specifically, we examine the utility implications of multiple individuals having altruistic tendencies toward one another. We explore utility structures with two altruistic individuals, and then expand our results to a more general model. The more general model can be greatly simplified by dividing the altruistic individuals up into groups, wherein the altruistic interactions are expressed at the group level. Our results can be expanded beyond altruism; they provide insight for any situation in which each individual outcome includes externalities that affect the outcomes experienced by others.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human factors profession is currently attempting to take a more proactive role in the design of man-machine systems than has been character istic of its past. Realizing that human engineering contributions are needed well before the experimental evaluation of prototypes or operational systems, there is a concerted effort to develop tools that predict how humans will interact with proposed designs. This volume provides an over view of one category of such tools: mathematical models of human performance. It represents a collection of invited papers from a 1988 NATO Workshop. The Workshop was conceived and organized by NATO Research Study Group 9 (RSG.9) on "Modelling of Human Operator Behaviour in Weapon Systems". It represented the culmination of over five years of effort, and was attended by 139 persons from Europe, Canada, and the United States. RSG.9 was established in 1982 by Panel 8 of the Defence Research Group to accomplish the following objectives: * Determine the utility and state of the art of human performance modelling. * Encourage international research and the exchange of ideas. * Foster the practical application of modelling research. * Provide a bridge between the models and approaches adopted by engineers and behavioral scientists. * Present the findings in an international symposium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books instruct readers on how to use the tools of policy analysis. This book is different. Its primary focus is on helping readers to look critically at the strengths, limitations, and the underlying assumptions analysts make when they use standard tools or problem framings. Using examples, many of which involve issues in science and technology, the book exposes readers to some of the critical issues of taste, professional responsibility, ethics, and values that are associated with policy analysis and research. Topics covered include policy problems formulated in terms of utility maximization such as benefit-cost, decision, and multi-attribute analysis, issues in the valuation of intangibles, uncertainty in policy analysis, selected topics in risk analysis and communication, limitations and alternatives to the paradigm of utility maximization, issues in behavioral decision theory, issues related to organizations and multiple agents, and selected topics in policy advice and policy analysis for government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The business environment has changed. Sharper competition requires organizations to exhibit greater effectiveness in their operations and services and faster creation of new products and services—all hallmarks of the knowledge economy. Up until now, most of the knowledge management literature has focused on technology, systems, or culture. This book moves to the next stage, to focus on the people—the knowledge workers themselves. Noted expert Karl Wiig synthesizes recent research findings in cognitive science and related fields to describe how people actually work. He focuses on how people learn, remember, make decisions, solve problems and act—in general, how knowledge relates to work behavior. By understanding how people work, managers can improve effectiveness to gain competitive advantage.
