چکیده
AbsIractThis paper applies Bayesian network tecbnique to model and inference tbe uncertain relationsbips among cost factors and benefit factors in E-services. A cost-benefit factor-relation modelproposed inour previous study isconsidered as domain knowledgeand tbe data collectedtbrougb a survey is as evidence to conduct inference. Tbrough calculating conditional probability distribution among factors and conducting inference, this paper identifies tbat certain cost factors are significantly more important tban others to certain benefit factors. In particular, this study found tbat 'increased investment in maintaining E-services' would significantly contribute to 'enbancing perceived company image' and 'gaining competitive advantages', and 'increased investment in staff training' would significant contribute to 'realizing business strategies'. These results bave the potential to improve the strategic planning of companies by determining more effective investment areas and adopting more suitable development activities wbere &services are concerned.

Improving Long Run Marginal Cost based Pricing along with Extended Benefit Factor method for Revenue Reconciliation of Transmission Network in Restructured Power System
Abstract : There are several methods to cover the costs of a transmission system and distribution networks. These methods are divided into either incremental or marginal approaches, which can be either long-term or short-term. The main difference between the incremental and marginal approach is how to calculate the cost of using the network. In the incremental approach, simulation and in the ma...
متن کاملImplementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference
In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...
متن کاملCost Analysis of Acceptance Sampling Models Using Dynamic Programming and Bayesian Inference Considering Inspection Errors
Acceptance Sampling models have been widely applied in companies for the inspection and testing the raw material as well as the final products. A number of lots of the items are produced in a day in the industries so it may be impossible to inspect/test each item in a lot. The acceptance sampling models only provide the guarantee for the producer and consumer that the items in the lots are acco...

متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
