The logic-dynamical hybrid system given by a set of subsystems which are linear differential-difference equations with constant coefficients and constant delay is investigated in the paper. The estimations of disturbances of such system are obtained. We consider the cases of stable and unstable subsystems. Besides the estimations of solutions of hybrid system given by a set of scalar subsystems...

The Delphi method is a systematic, interactive forecasting method which relies on a panel of experts. On the assumption that group judgments are more valid than individual judgments the experts answer questionnaires in two or more rounds. After each round, a facilitator provides an anonymous summary of the expert’s forecasts from the previous round as well as the reasons they provided for their...

The phenomenon of over-reliance on subjective assignment is a challenging task in the information security risk assessment process. This study deals with this problem. We have presented a group decisionmaking information security risk assessment method by combining Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Information entropy. When AHP is used to assess the security risk of information systems, the...

The goal of this research is to develop and verify elicitation methods to assess counterterrorism values that could be of interest for the purpose of planning defensive strategies (but are difficult to estimate because of insufficient historical data) by combining the judgments of multiple domain experts. In particular, the project focused on producing reliable estimates from the opinions of mu...

BACKGROUND Methods for describing one's confidence in the available evidence are useful for end-users of evidence reviews. Analysts inevitably make judgments about the quality, quantity consistency, robustness, and magnitude of effects observed in the studies identified. The subjectivity of these judgments in several areas underscores the need for transparency in judgments. DISCUSSION This pa...
