Assessing Deontic Trade-offs: A Conjoint Analysis Approach

Deontic conflicts are situations where you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” – where each of the available options will lead to an undesirable outcome or violation. How do people reason about deontic conflicts? In this paper we use the experimental technique of conjoint analysis to uncover the relevant decision factors that people use in such situations. Applications are to program...

Assessing the Financial Drivers in Eucalypt Nursery Production Systems: A Conjoint Analysis Approach

This paper focuses on an application of conjoint analysis within forestry economics. More specifically, it was used to determine eucalypt plant value perceptions among South African nurserymen, to assess the financial drivers of the eucalypt production system, and to attempt to quantify the trade-offs between attributes of a eucalypt nursery and the selling price of the plants. Utility function...

Consumers' Trade-Offs of Online Auctions Alternatives - An Application of Conjoint Analysis

As auctions buyers and sellers become proliferated on the Internet, there are considerable interests in investigating consumer behavior in the new marketing context. Much of the research on online consumer behavior has focused on the economic dynamics of bidding and offerings, technical mechanism and privacy, while consumer trade-offs between auctions alternatives are still lacking in literatur...

Quality-of-service trade-off analysis for wireless sensor networks

Quality of Service (QoS) support for wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a fairly new topic that is gaining more and more interest. This paper introduces a method for determining the node configurations of a WSN such that application-level QoS constraints are met. This is a complex task, since the search space is typically extremely large. The method is based on a recent algebraic approach to Par...
