This paper examines the effect of choice architecture on Massachusetts' Health Insurance Exchange. A policy change standardized cost-sharing parameters of plans across insurers and altered information presentation. Post-change, consumers chose more generous plans and different brands, but were not more price-sensitive. We use a discrete choice model that allows the policy to affect how attribut...

Information architecture, concerned with the structural design of information spaces/systems, and context-aware adaptive systems, supporting situated system use through a computational approach, are presented as two converging fields. Specific points of convergence include balancing immediate use with awareness, tackling choice overload and promoting discovery, and dealing with the increasing c...

This article is to show a successful experience on a two-year software reuse project of Software Engineering Lab. (SEL) in Taiwan. In this research, attention is strictly focused on the interrelationships among key components that link between business processes, information applications, and information technology infrastructure. This choice is based on software reusable component design of di...

The paper describes a system to design computer processors and to simulate their behaviour during the execution of assembly user programs. The system, called APE (Architecture Prototyping Environment), is based on a dynamic object oriented definition and use of processor components. After the user choice of the architecture components, the system builds a processor simulator allowing users to s...

Model Driven Architecture and Cloud computing are among the most important paradigms in software service engineering now a days. As cloud computing continues to gain more activities, more issues and challenges for many systems with its dynamic usage are introduced. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach for development and maintenance becomes an evident choice for ensuring software solutions ...

A new GF(p) cryptographic processor architecture for elliptic curve encryption/decryption is proposed in this paper. The architecture takes advantage of projective coordinates to convert GF(p) inversion needed in elliptic point operations into several multiplication steps. Unlike existing sequential designs, we show that projecting into (X/Z,Y/Z) leads to a much better improved performance than...

CMAC Neural Network is a popular choice for control applications. One of the main problems with CMAC is that the memory needed for the network grows exponentially with each addition of input variable. In this paper, we present a new CMAC architecture with more effective allocation of the available memory space. The proposed architecture employs hierarchical clustering to perform adaptive quanti...

— This paper presents a family of architectures for FFT implementation based on the decomposition of the perfect shuffle permutation, which can be designed with variable number of processing elements. This provides designers with a trade-off choice of speed vs. complexity (cost and area.). Hardware comparison to other existing pipeline architecture presented based on implementation of 1024-poin...

Rapid launch is one of the key indicators UAV swarm operations, and decisions that determines ultimate success system development choice its product architecture. The high-definition design structure matrix (HDDSM) method introduced to model architecture a system, which reduces workload creating binary DSMs improves repeatability (PADSM) creation. On this basis, paper presents classification ro...
