Desirable Properties of an Ideal Risk Measure

This paper examines the properties that a risk measure should satisfy in order to characterize an investor’s preferences. In particular, we propose some intuitive and realistic examples that describe several desirable features of an ideal risk measure. This analysis is the first step in understanding how to classify an investor’s risk. Risk is an asymmetric, relative, heteroskedastic, multidime...

Identifiers, Privacy and Trust in the Internet of Services

This paper presents a solution for the problem of merging privacy-friendly identifiers with trust information without support or assistance from central authorities during the operation phase. Trust information is dynamic and associated to the pseudonyms. Our solution is constructed using role-based pseudonyms that are associated to an arbitrary number of different contexts. Moreover, the prese...

Seven Desirable Properties for Artificial Learning Systems

We propose seven desirable properties for artificial learning systems, namely: incrementality, nonmonotonicity, inconsistency and conflicting defaults handling, abstraction, self-organization, generalization, and computational tractability. This proposed set of properties is not claimed to be complete, nor does it imply that all properties must necessarily be present in all learning models. Rat...

Link Travel Times I: Desirable Properties

When modelling travel times and traffic flows varying over time on traffic networks it is desirable that the travel times should satisfy certain properties. This paper investigates these properties and their interrelationships, in particular, uniqueness and continuity, first-in-first-out (FIFO), causality and time-flow consistency, while assuming a single traffic type. For generality we investi...
