Pattern of Decision-Making Evaluation in Urban Regeneration

Evaluation is one of the most important necessities in the process of urban regeneration, which leads to the optimal decision to solve the problem of urban inefficiency. Evaluating decisions in the urban regeneration process, given its complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty, is a critical issue that requires identifying the criteria that affect its realization and using fuzzy decision-making met...

A Design Pattern for Decentralised Decision Making

The engineering of large-scale decentralised systems requires sound methodologies to guarantee the attainment of the desired macroscopic system-level behaviour given the microscopic individual-level implementation. While a general-purpose methodology is currently out of reach, specific solutions can be given to broad classes of problems by means of well-conceived design patterns. We propose a d...

A pattern recognition account of decision making.

In the domain of pattern recognition, experiments have shown that perceivers integrate multiple sources of information in an optimal manner. In contrast, other research has been interpreted to mean that decision making is nonoptimal. As an example, Tversky and Kahneman (1983) have shown that subjects commit a conjunction fallacy because they judge it more likely that a fictitious person named L...

Pattern of decision making of urban land policies in the physical development (case study: SARI)

The urban land management is an l part of the urban management. In some countries such as Iran, there is no integrated urban land management and providing municipal services is assigned to nationwide organisations. This means urban management is offered by the municipality or subsidiaries of the aforementioned organisations such dispersion has occurred during serval decades. It is considered as...
