This study examines a method of generating comprehensive profiling information for a researcher analysis service. In addition to basic and performance-based information about researchers necessary to generate profiling information, we introduce researcher performance index models for researcher analysis service. The models can that measure qualitative and quantitative performance, researcher in...

When there are bigger obstacles in the indoor environment such as elevator, the radio waves basically can not penetrate it. The contribution of received signal strength by transmission and reflection will be greatly reduced, and most of the time, the radio waves will reach the user by bypass diffraction. Therefore, the traditional path loss model is no longer applicable, and the improved model ...

We describe a mechanism for performing probabilistic reasoning in influence diagrams us­ ing interval rather than point valued probabilities. We derive the procedures for node removal (corresponding to conditional expectation) and arc reversal (corresponding to Bayesian condi­ tioning) in influence diagrams where lower bounds on probabilities are stored at each node. The resulting bounds for th...

While influence diagrams have many ad­ vantages as a representation framework for Bayesian decision problems, they have a se­ rious drawback in handling asymmetric de­ cision problems. To be represented in an influence diagram, an asymmetric decision problem must be symmetrized. A consid­ erable amount of unnecessary computation may be involved when a symmetrized influ­ ence diagram is evaluate...

This paper empirically investigates the impact of normative social influence on group homogeneity in media preferences and group meeting outcomes in a setting where 58 student groups voluntarily used various communication media over a three-month software development project period. Group homogeneity in media preferences was argued to mediate the impact of normative social influence on group me...

Binary Superposed Decision Diagrams (BSQDDs) are a new type of quantum decision diagram that can be used for representing arbitrary quantum superpositions. One major advantage of BSQDDs is that they are dependent on the types of gates used in synthesis and a BSQDD can be used to efficiently generate a quantum array that will initialize the quantum superposition that the BSQDD represents. Transf...
