Adaptivity is a way of increasing the usability of interactive software. Several systems use CBR as a basic inference mechanism to model the user and to reason about adaptive actions. However, empirical evaluations of adaptive systems are rare. This paper introduces an evaluation framework of six necessary steps for adaptive CBR-systems. The framework is applied to a case-based product recommen...

Industrial reports indicate that security incidents continue to inflict large financial losses on organizations. Researchers and industrial analysts contend that there are fundamental problems with existing security incident response process solutions. This paper presents the Security Incident Response Criteria (SIRC) which can be applied to a variety of security incident response approaches. T...

This paper introduces multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) into group decision making to propose a multi-criteria group decision making model for credit risk analysis. This model can not only deal with multi-criteria and complicated practical problems, but also reduce individual subjective preference to support group decision-making. In this model, experts’ opinion is integrated by post-expert...

The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) model for international tourist hotel location selection. In this article we created 21 criteria for selecting the international tourist hotel location acquired from literatures review and practical investigations. And the methods of fuzzy set theory, linguistic value, hierarchical structure analysis, an...

This paper features a tri-criteria analysis of Eurekahedge fund data strategy index data. We use nine Eurekahedge equally weighted main strategy indices for the portfolio analysis. The tri-criteria analysis features three objectives: return, risk and dispersion of risk objectives in a Multi-Criteria Optimisation (MCO) portfolio analysis. We vary the MCO return and risk targets and contrast the ...

In 2007, Kenneth Hammond published Beyond Rationality: The search for wisdom in a troubled time. In this book and in prior works, Hammond (1990; 1996) promotes the recognition and equal acceptance of two different classes of criteria for the assessment of human judgment and decision making (JDM). Coherence criteria are those that are based on normative standards of logic (or some other formal m...

At present, there is disagreement among achievement goal theorists regarding the beneficial or inimical nature of performance-approach goals. This article evaluates performanceapproach goals using three criteria: empirical, theoretical, and meta-theoretical (values/ beliefs). On the basis of these criteria, we conclude that performance-approach goals may be construed in both positive and negati...

This article describes a proposal for a framework to evaluate and compare enterprise models. It suggests three major categories for grouping the model evaluation criteria: syntactic, semantic and pragmatic analysis. The paper draws on a wide literature to present a large selection of criteria and to operationalise their measurement by means of several possible metrics. As an empirical validatio...
